Hounds Of Love is an amazing album. start to finish. Big Sky, Cloudbusting, running up that hill. great production and songwriting. I think she's amazing.

that's the strange thing. to me, it feels like she's always been there (seeing as I was born in '78, technically for me she has always been there.. :P ), but she was only 17 when she released "wuthering heights".
she now still only is 46 years old.
anyway.. we're trying to do our own small part in this thread. :)

Wow i didn't realize she was so young when she started. amazing. haven't kept up with her in a long while thoough. Last album I remember her releasing was Red Shoes. We are doing our small part and I'm sure this thread isn't an isolated incident.

If you like banging remixes you should listen this Infusion remix of "Running up that hill"
I've heard "Wounds of love" and it is an excellent album. I listened to it mainly because the vocalist of Ulver/Arcturs was talking wonders of it. I found some similarity of the pic pantalaimon posted with the artwork of La Masquerade Infernale by Arcturus.
Oh yeah, also other metal bands have some relation with Kate's work. Brazilian speed/power metal Angra did a cover of "Wuthering Heights" wich results in a metal ballad and Within Temptation did the cover of "Running up that hill"

yeah, because there is only room for one woman and a piano in music :-/
i have kate's "the sensual world" and i actually like it a lot, but the only songs that really reminded me of tori amos were (great song btw) "this woman's work" and "between a man and a woman." they seem to have pretty different approaches (lyrically and the way they sing in the first place). anyways, supposedly tori amos had never even heard of kate bush until she started getting compared to her. but maybe i need to hear some more kate bush before i decide whether or not i believe that.

I was half-joking, although the first time when I heard Tori Amos, she did immediately remind me of Kate Bush.
but that has more to do with her voice and singing-style - that owes a lot to Kate Bush.

the way i see it, there are millions of women that play the piano, and some of them probably try to sing at the same time...and some of them are going to sound good doing it....
but i will have to listen to more kate bush!

Do you need to understand the lyrics to like her music, or is does she utilise the voice in a more "instrumental" way?

Hmm, her lyrics... well I think that one can enjoy her music treating her voice as simply another instrument, one which she really puts through its paces. But her lyrics are very poetic as well and contribute a lot to the meaning of the songs, IMHO. Oftentimes the way that she uses her voice designates different characters in a song, so one can follow a dialogue.

yeah I agree, her music and voice is so strong you could enjoy listening to her either way, her lyrics are often excellent though. She's not like Liz Fraser in the Cocteau Twins, its not that kind of music.

Kate confirms album is nearly finished and due for release next year!
"The album is nearly finished now and will be out next year - we'll let you know when. It features some beautiful orchestral movements by Michael Kamen - we had a wonderful day together at Abbey Road Studios last winter. I'm so pleased with everyone's work on this record. There are some lovely performances and I hope you will all feel it's been worth the wait. Bertie keeps me very busy, he is so much fun and we are all really looking forward to Christmas. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and I hope next year is a really happy one for you. Lots of love, Kate x

found a site that has an online version of the book "Cathy , which her brother wrote.
well, I say "wrote", it's more or less a bunch of photo's of Kate as a little girl, with small bits of text.
the photo's are nice, though.

all i have to say after watching that is, FUCKING AWESOME! excuse my teenager ruse, but that fit the track so perfectly - given that babooshka is a fucking crazy track, the video is insane also. it really makes you listen to the words she is saying, and the images fit perfectly- the only thing i dont undestand is the giant bass she is dancing with? what does it represent, maybe the boring or the mundane, or maybe it appears to boring and mundane but its actually a great instrument, i have not idea, and i dont want to think about it too much, its such a great video though tanks a bunch.

I love Kate Bush. I wish I had heard of her years ago. She is so fantastic. Everybody, what are your favorite records of hers?
I'll be honest, I haven't bought anything yet besides The Sensual World. But I have mp3s for The Whole Story (I can't stop listening...it's a great collection). Where should I go next? My favorites are Wuthering Heights, Running Up That Hill, Breathing, Army Dreamer.....OK so basically every song on that compilation. Any suggestions?

she really gets going from "never for ever" - I'm not a big fan of either "the kick inside" or "lionheart".
"the dreaming", however, is when she kicks off the experimental thing - an excellent album.

for some reason i like never for ever better than her other ones, i really like the sing songy crazy sounding kate rather than the low hounds of love kate, hounds is a great album, but never... has this kind of... something about it , i just like it better. more delicate or something
