The title track is from her 1998 album, "from the choirgirl hotel." Along with three color postcards, this single includes her unique cover of Steely Dan's "Do it Again" (a song fans continue to ask her to play live, but she has yet to supply). It also includes one of her best songs she has written to date" "Cooling." Originally written for her 1996 album, "Boys for Pele," "Cooling" is a beautiful composition highlighting Tori's ethereal and beautiful voice, immense talent on the piano, and poetic way with lyrics. It takes you to the core of who Tori Amos is, and afterward all you can think about is travelling through it again. It may go in through your ears, but it goes straight to your heart, never letting its relentless beauty escape from its new found home.

This import is definately a must-have for anyone who seeks to own all the B-sides. This particular version hails from Germany, and you will find that two of the songs on it are not available anywhere else. Tori's cover of "Do It Again" by Steely Dan is excellent! Her completely fresh and unique take on this classic rock staple once again showcases her creative range. A live version of "Cooling" was featured on To Venus and Back, but this is the only place to hear the studio version, which includes segments that were omitted during the live performance. A great buy guaranteed!

Those who bought "TO VENUS AND BACK" heard the song "Cooling", where she explains was out of place on the albums "BOYS FOR PELE" and then again on "FROM THE CHORIGIRL HOTEL". So beautiful, you've gotta ask yourself: "where is the original version of this?"

Here.

The song, remarkable as it is, comes off even better than the live version (no easy task), and also features the songs "Spark" and the cover song "Do it Again". Tori knocks them both out of the court, putting a very "She's Your Cocaine"/"Liquid Diamonds" edge to "Do it Again" (see: "CHOIRGIRL").

It is somewhat hard to find, as the most common is the one with the "Purple People"/"Bachlorette" and the "Purple People"/"Bachlorette"/"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". I suggest you try out this one too. You will be far, far, far from disappointment.

I loved this version of "Do It Again". I thought it had more of an edge compared to the Steely Dans version. "Cooling" is a wonderful song. I love the way that her voice overlapped when she sang "this is cooling". It sounded beautiful.I also loved the way she yells "DO IT AGAIN!!".Makes for a strength in the song that i don't hear in the Steely Dan version, but this could be because I am a die hard Tori Amos fan. I just really loved it. Well worth the money, and the wait.

On the Choir Girl age we didn't get to hear these stuff from Tori... One of the greatest Tori tracks is on this CD. The magnificant 'Cooling', which frist broke during the Dew Drop Inn Tour, is now recorded and yours to enjoy. For Toriphiles, this song should be good enough of a reason to get this CD. 'Do it Again' is a track more in the Choir Girl mood, spiced with a heavy drum beat and treaing Tori lyrics and singing. Get it.

Cooling is a beautiful song, and after "From the Choirgirl Hotel" it's nice to hear a song a little more like the old Tori. "Do It Again" (for those of you who don't know) is a cover of a Steely Dan song; it's wonderful as usual for a Tori cover. All true fans should have this CD.

This is a nice single.

First, there is the great "Spark" itself. A wonderfull song, full of energy. It follows the tradition of other great Tori songs like "Cornflake Girl", "Crucify", "Bliss" and "Caught A Lite Sneeze".

"Do It Again" is really the one I went for. It's a great, long ( almost 6 minutes in length ) and rocky cover. I think it's very sensual. This song could've fit beautiful on "From The Choirgirl Hotel" next to "She's Your Cocaïne".

"Cooling" is a nice little Tori and the piano song like you'll find on her older songs. You can find a live version of this song on "To Venus And Back".

And there R the polaroids. A really nice and cute surprise. They R nothing all too special, just cute and fun to watch.

from the Choirgirl Hotel is one of my favouirtes. So, it is not a surprise that I love this single. It comes with two of my favourite b-sides, Do it Again and Cooling. Do it Again is a thrilling cover and Cooling is one of the best pieces Tori has ever done. Do it Again has a defiant tone to it and her vocals are excellent. Cooling could not be more of a perfection. Lovely.

The title track of this single is great, but again, it's the companion tracks that make the single worth it. "Cooling" is fantastic, and "Do It Again" is a funky rendition for an oft airy Tori.
