Shelved No More
According to www.fiona-apple.com, Fiona Apple's 3rd album Extraordinary Machine will be released on October 4, 2005. The album had been originally recorded with producer Jon Brion and has been shelved since May of 2003. Rumor has it that Sony shelved the original version of the album because they felt the album had no single.
The album, while according to Apple and Brion was still unfinished, which may have to do with Sony waiting on something that they can play on the radio, was leaked on the internet earlier this year and really good by the way.
The version of the album being released early next month is a rerecorded version with producer Mike Elizondo. Entertainment Weekly reports that the rerecording of the album is Apple's doing citing that she said she was unhappy with Brion's production work.
With the current attention now on Brion as a result of his work on the new Kanye West album Late Registration and also the fact that Brion is a musical genius and his work on the previous Fiona Apple album as well as his film scores is evident of this, an Elizondo produced Extraordinary Machine rather than a Brion one, may not have been the way to go.
Good Job Sony.
