:eek:

hm.... intriguing...

I've only heard Hounds of Love, and apparently I'm not sophisticated enough to fully appreciate the second half of the record. Me, of all people, found her poppier side more captivating than her far-out side... I am so ashamed of myself.

In 1998, Q magazine readers voted Hounds of Love the 48th greatest album of all time, while in 2000 the same magazine placed it at number 20 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In January 2006, NME named it the 41st best British album of all time. The 19th edition of British Hit Singles & Albums, published by Guinness in May 2006, included a list of the Top 100 albums of all time, as voted by readers of the book and NME readers, which placed Hounds of Love at Number 70.

Is she hurting herself? Yeah? Well, I'm not that ashamed of myself.

that's good to know

I love her song "Pi".

I love her, I've been listening to her a lot lately.

i often have a hard time believing you're 18-- do you have conscious memories of recent incarnations by any chance?

what does everyone think of ariel?
personally i was a little let down.

Hounds of Love is a fantastic album.

Bluebottle Kiss also do a great cover of the song Hounds of Love.

Yeah, it's a good one. I listed it as one of the top 10 songs for '05.

me too, especially since it was a double...
it was pleasing that it wasn't bad though...
since she's been out of the biz for some years now
...hhmmm 12 years...
Aerial is still one of the twenty best of '05, but that is no large feat.

gotta love the birdsong segueways on Aerial though...

Yoshimi & Yuka's sublime Flower with No Color is another apt example.

Laurie Anderson is doing a new project with Peter Gabriel that involves birdsong. It's based on her experience in Rome a few years ago. As she listened and watched some local street musicians perform, a nearby owl started to chime in, and for a few minutes, she didn't realize it was a sound that one of the musicians wasn't making.

Haven't heard that one...of course, The Futureheads' version has sparked interest in Kate Bush among some younger music fans.

Kate does a superb "Rocket Man" cover.

Do you want to hear it? If so, I can upload it. If not, then I won't.

Sure, I'll do Kate's "Rocket Man" in return.

It's from the out-of-print 1993 Rocket Man ep. She also does two versions of "Candle in the Wind."

It starts with Kate singing the verse hushed with some really tasteful accompaniment.

Things go ska-lite/polyrhythmic for the chorus, and then into intense & powerful overdub overdrive ala Hounds of Love as Kate sings the title choral refrains.

She returns to the "dark secret" voice for the second verse, but by the time the song hits the second chorus, (and especially during the Celtic-ish outro), the song just sort of runs out of gas a bit, but it's still a superb listen.
