Her last album was released in 2006 which is quite recent,
but it was crap and too complex which doesn't play to her
strengths IMO. The others aren't that recent- Milk-Eyed
Mender was 2004, so half a decade ago! :O Not recent.

I do like JN a lot, though. :)

It's not the only good thing to come out of the naughties,
though. What about Drukqs, Untitled, Go Plastic and of
course the albums by Xploding Plastix. :)

it is very beautiful and simple folk music and it is fucking
lovely.

Get back to work Mr. crazone or you're fired... out of a

I guess it is the generation gap between me and others on
this board, but Kate Bush just sounds too dated to me. The
melodies sound like they could be nice, but they are thickly
hidden by horrible drum samples. It might also be YouTube
crapy quality sound. I mgith download some Bush if I can be
bothered. I'll definately download some bush, though. :p

you should, Kate Bush is amazing, Aerial is good but mainly
the second disc, The Dreaming and Hounds of Love have
wonderful production.

I need to change my Avatar back, sorry Astrud.

There's a track called 'Joanni'. Maybe it's a tribute to the
slightly better than Bush, Joanna Newsom. See, even Kate
Bush admits it. Can;t argue with that! ;p

haha no-one is as good as Kate Bush, that song is about Joan
of Arc, but nice try :)

Hounds of Love is totally outstanding. The songwriting is so
good that I doubt the 25-year-old production would affect it
negatively. Aerial is brilliant, but doesn't quite have the
durability of Hounds of Love. When Hounds of Love came out
it was an "event" and lived up to it. Nobody makes albums
that good anymore.

i love how this thread morphed into a kate bush thread.

favorite.

i dont know if joanna newsom would be the salvation of
music, really, but she (and her music and her voice) is
certainly beautiful and great!

Listening to the album Aerials now and, after having
returned home not in the best of moods, I feel kinda good
now. Which I attribute to the album, but also being home
after being out for a bit.

Nah, she is not mainstream enough to be the salvation. But i
still prefer her to KB so far.

hey, it's pretty funny that this thread is about KB really,
but it is called Joanna Newsom.

Pantalaimon, do you really like Newsom that much? Sounds
like you only really like KB... :(

Anyway, Aerials is boring.

I will download an older KB album, see what that's like.

Like i said disc 2 is better but its not exactly the best
introduction to her work... Hounds Of Love is the best place
to start. I like Joanna Newsom but so far Kate is better,
different genres though. Kate is from a time when Pop could
be both artistic 'and' popular.

Exactly- I was not around at the time when op was like that.
I wish I was, but I wasn't. Just like people from a certain
generation enjoy BOC cos it reminds them of TV programmes
that were on at the time, which is probably what BOC
intended, I don't get the nostalgia in that way. I also have
no feeling of pleasant nostalgia for KB.

I am downloading Hounds of Love now. :)

Also, like you say, they are very different genres anyway,
Joanna Newsom and KB.
