Revision as of 06:00, 7 March 2005 by 144.132.225.79 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Extraordinary Machine is the third album by American singer/songwriter Fiona Apple, currently unreleased.
Fiona started recording the album some time around July 2002. Shortly after, she debuted "Better Version Of Me" live at Club Largo on August 2nd, 2002; an unpredictable and fast-paced song, performed solo at the piano. A reworked version of the song was performed once again at Club Largo on September 18, 2002, where Fiona was joined by Jon Brion on the celeste.
In late 2002, Fiona, Jon and percussionist Matt Chamberlain lived and recorded at The Paramour; a mansion built in 1923 by silent film star Antonio Moreno, where they worked on drums and percussion. Also around this time, Fiona and Jon travelled to England to record strings at Abbey Road Studios in London.
For quite some time, September 30, 2003 was the likely release date for "Extraordinary Machine", but eventually it was pushed back to Febuary 2004.
