  Tide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tidal lag and the transfer of momentum between sea and land causes the Earth's rotation to slow down and the Moon to be moved further away in a process known as tidal acceleration.
Tidal heights are also very important; for example many rivers and harbours have a shallow "bar" at the entrance which will prevent boats with significant draught from entering at certain states of the tide.
An arrow on the tidal chart indicates direction and two numbers are given: average flow (usually in knots) for spring tides and neap tides respectively.

 Music : Tidal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Tidal is the debut album by Fiona Apple, a New York singer-songwriter-pianist who was 18 years old at the time of its 1996 release.
Tidal is moody, morose, and sophisticated, but the fact remains that a lot of it is somewhat boring.
The main problem with the album is a lack of consistency, repetitive song structure, and generally an understandable immaturity and lack of confidence from Apple herself.

 Apple's bittersweet taste
One of the main complaints of Tidal was Apple's strange dependence on her lovers.
Her jazzy instrumentals are neatly placed throughout the album, adding flair to many of her ballads.
The new musical diversity adds an artistic quality to the album, but Apple is still at her best in the simple ballad format.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Tidal [ECD] - Fiona Apple at Epinions.com
From this album, she found Billboard success with gems like "Shadowboxer," "Criminal," and "Sleep to Dream." This music isn't what pop is generally known for.
My favorite, and arguable the most brilliant is "Never is a Promise." I'd also like to mention that Apple's talent has been recognized by the Grammys when she won a 1997 award for best female rock performance for "Criminal." Like I said, amazing.
"Tidal" is a real album in which each song adds a piece to the whole.

 The New Yorker: The Critics: Musical Events   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Sony is releasing the album this week, and, as Apple has made clear in interviews, she, not the label, was responsible for the delay.
The songs on “Tidal” followed a twisty logic that suggested hours spent alone in a room; the verses lurched through time signatures and keys, and Apple’s robust contralto, though sometimes heavy on vibrato, gave her line readings a pleasingly sinister feel.
The album begins with the title track (produced by Brion), on which Apple sings softly, accompanied only by a pizzicato figure for strings, woodwinds, and marimba, and a lone bell, which she plays herself.

 Fiona Apple Album Reviews
Though this album, on which Apple admits “I’m heavy with mood,” could use some more snappy melodies like the memorable hit single “Criminal” (that’s the one that goes “I’ve been a bad, bad girl, I’ve been careless with a delicate man”), her deep, sultry voice is immediately striking.
And though her lyrics, like the kiss off sentiments of “Sleep To Dream” and the “he’s bad from me but I can’t resist him but I’m going to hold him off this time” conflictions of “Shadowboxer,” are typical of most current young female singer songwriters, musically speaking she’s wise beyond her years.
Tidal was accomplished but also a bit boring, and this sophomore set was a major improvement on all fronts, even though it lacked a high profile hit single along the lines of “Criminal” and was subsequently less popular as a result.

 Daily Vault - January 10, 2000
Like any good, self-revealing album, you get the indication that Apple used certain instrumentation because they had to be played, not because they would sound good on top 40 radio.
Throughout the album, Apple points the finger at herself just as much as she does for anyone that has smitten her.
Both artists were in a position where people were ready to dump both of them in the recycled bins and hop onto the next artist who were a bit friendlier to the ears.

 Fiona Apple - Tidal @ Soundbug
In Criminal, Apple displays a confidence that was absent from the rest of the album and is present on later albums.
Although this is probably Apple's most popular album, it really lacks the maturity and consistency of later albums.
Her new album, Extraordinary Machine, is more experimental, but still more consistent and interesting than Tidal (although it lacks a real hit like Criminal or Sleep to Dream).

 UNCUT (UK) - Mar 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Fiona Apple's debut album, Tidal, was released in 1996 at a time when every major label was searching for its own Alanis Morissette - and Sony executives were convinced that in the precocious and disturbed 18-year-old New Yorker they had found theirs.
Yet there was a deeper poetic sensibility and all-round intelligence about the album that suggested Apple could turn out to be the most significant of all her distressed ilk.
There were times on Tidal where you wanted to tell her to grow up (a reaction which the older Morissette and Amos can still provoke in abundance).

 Power Windows...The Story Behind Rush's Album Covers
And because Rush's album covers are every bit an integral part of the band is its music, I decided to take advantage of my geographical location by calling up Hugh Syme.
Albums like Ooh La La by the Faces, and Physical Graffiti-all of that was going on then, so we thought we'd go for a six panel jacket.
We also began a series of puns with that album, in that the King is a puppet King.

 Tone and Groove
This album is something of a hybrid of both, as wide ranging as her work with Jon Brion, but with the gloss of her first album.
This is someone who is looking back on the last nine years, since Tidal was released, with some regret and rue, but also knowing she is better, stronger, and wiser for weathering the storm.
Some reviewers see this album as only about her split with Paul Thomas Anderson, but only "Tymps (The Sick in the Head Song)" is about him.

 Fiona Apple : Tidal - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Fiona Apple demonstrates considerable talent on her debut album, Tidal, but it is unformed, unfocused talent.
Most of Tidal is comprised of confessional singer/songwriter material, and while they strive to say something deep and important, much of the lyrics settle for clichés.
Apple does have a handful of impressive songs on Tidal, like the haunting "Shadowboxer" and "Sullen Girl," but the gap between her performing talents and songwriting skills is too large to make the album anything more than a promising, and very intriguing, debut.

The Tidal Waves were a quintet from the Detroit area made up of Bob Slap, Bill Long, Mark Karpinski, and Tom and Jon Wearing.
The Tidal Wave were actually among the best of them, despite their youth (three of their were in junior high when they satarted out in 1965).
They had a hard, aggressive attack on their instruments (which, surprisingly for a band as punk sounding as this one, included a saxophone, a la the Kingsmen) and three strong (if not necessarily "good") singers, and a good sense of melody and what to do with it.

The force that disrupted the star in RX J1242-11 is an extreme example of the tidal force caused by differences in gravity acting on the front and back of an object.
The tidal force from the Moon causes tides in the oceans on Earth, and tidal force from Jupiter pulled Comet Shoemaker-Levy apart before it plunged into the giant planet.
The tidal disruption of a star is estimated to occur about once every ten thousand years in a typical galaxy.

Apparently, the album was finished in May 2003 but the record company fat-cats rejected it for being uncommercial.
After Apple failed in her attempt to write a more salable single, the album was mothballed—destined to be mythologized by devoted fans but otherwise forgotten and unmissed.
Wilco's album was likewise rejected by its label, Reprise/Warner, and the band was dropped.

I like her music a lot, and I love that on her first album (Tidal) she played in a bluesy style few artists are exploring right now.
Anyone who *has* heard Tidal and still doesn't think she's talented...well, sorry, they're wrong and their opinion has probably been colored by her media persona (or more accurately, the mistakes she's made in front of the media that were blown way out of proportion.) She's another one who's scarily talented at a young age.
I was quite impressed with Tidal as well, so I jumped at the chance to see her live in concert.

Tidal, despite having been released in 1996, stuck around on the charts through early 1999 and eventually went no fewer than three times platinum.
If she never releases another nearly perfect album, I will be content with her discs of material.

The verses are soft and quiet, with Fiona singing in a hushed way against an addictive bassline.
The chorus has excellent lyrics and every time it is repeated, it gets louder and stronger, concluding the album with a bang.
Tidal is enjoyable when listened to in moderation, but it can get boring.

Fiona Apple has become one of those few singer-songwriters who is known for her talent, with only two albums to her name.
Her debut "Tidal" is more uneven than her sophomore album, but Apple's rich voice and exquisite musicianship make up for the occasional lyrical stumbles.
Her songs are painfully deep in themselves, but it's all the more shocking and stunning when you realize that she was only eighteen when the album was released.

 The Daily Princetonian: Saturday, November 13, 1999
A similar reaction greeted the arrival of Apple's debut album, Tidal, in 1996.
But to other critics and the fans that made the album triple platinum, Tidal revealed a considerable talent whose sophisticated jazz and blues vocals wrapped around smooth piano accompaniments belied her young age.
Pacifying those who think that Apple is depression personified is a photograph of her beaming, healthy-looking face conspicuously placed on the first page of the album's liner notes.

 Fiona's Bio
But once you hear Fiona Apple's Tidal, her debut album on WORK/ Clean Slate, you will not doubt that those words come from a wisdom that is beyond age, that is inherent, uncompromising and straight from the heart.
I won't go backwards." While Fiona Apple's lyrics may be interpreted in many ways, the overriding message of her debut is that life is the sum of experience -- painful and joyous, tangible and emotional, positive and negative.
"My album is called Tidal partly because all this has hit me like a tidal wave but also because 'tidal' refers to ebbing and flowing, and that's really what life is, a constant ebb and flow." For Fiona Apple, the tide is high -- and the time is now.

 Various Artists - Some Bizzare Album
Originally released in 1981, this album has only just appeared on CD as part of the Some Bizzare re-release programme (which saw the Soft Cell albums reappear a few weeks ago and now sees this album and some of Marc Almond's solo efforts appear on CD).
It's been something of a major omission that this album hasn't been out on CD before, since it was probably the futurist compilation to appear in the early eighties.
On an album where every other track encorporates at least a keyboard, this mixture of guitar, bass and melodica is an early 80s post-punk gloom sore thumb.

A little bit "old" (especially after the release of the stunning sophmore album), it deserves to be revisited, especially in light of the crop of anti-Britneys (nothing against Brit, blame the media for the phrase) receiving regonition (mostly deservedly so...maybe not a certain sk8r grrl as much as the others, but that's another review).
I can't believe I'm the first person to review what is probably the best album of the last decade.

I rather liked Apple's first album, and the second was disappointing (in that typically sophmore jinx sort of way), but I'd be open to giving her third outing a try.
i have been a huge fan of hers ever since "tidal" came out and while i think her first cd is a classic and a tad better than the second i will love her music no matter what.
i dont agree that fiona has to compromise the whole album to get them that "hit." however, i think she should recognize that the industry is often a game, and if you dont play, you sit on the bench.

 Wired - Fiona Apple Latest Album Updates
The timeline of printed album info from various sources can be followed from the bottom up, with latest events on the top.
The album, produced by musician Jon Brion (Aimee Mann, Rufus Wainwright), will be preceded by the first single, "Fast As You Can." The upbeat, almost frantic rock song is propelled by a boogie-woogie piano riff, Beatlesque backing vocals and a funky drum beat that has the feel of a drum and bass dance track.
Typically, albums are released on Tuesdays so it can either be the 7th, 14th, 21st, or 28th.
