Kate Bush

Listened to a bit of Babooshka, had to be done really.

Have to admit I still find Army Dreamers extremely moving, and probably even more relevant today.

A Coral Room does it for me. Not to played on an iPod whilst on public transport for fear of emotional collapse. It's the bit about the little brown jug that floors me every time.

You've got to be pretty brave to put on Babooshka on public transport! It's asking for trouble! Great music though - I always quite liked Wuthering Heights and Running Up That Hill. The videos are pretty interesting too! ha ha ha. ; )

I remember in the early 80's while I was a student in Coventry. I was entering a shop (below what was then the Cov. Apollo) which sold badges/patches/posters and other Pop related stuff. As I was being pushed in (Wheelchair) the first thing that struck me was a big poster of Kate Bush dressed in her Babooskka set up. Wow! I nearly fainted !!!

One of the most haunting pieces of music is "Breathing" :

We've lost our chance.
We're the first and the last, ooh,
After the blast.
Chips of Plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung.

I love my
Beloved, ooh,
All and everywhere,
Only the fools blew it.
You and me
Knew life itself is

Breathing,
("Out, in, out, in, out...")
Breathing,
Breathing my mother in,
Breathing my beloved in,
Breathing,
Breathing her nicotine,
Breathing,
Breathing the fall-out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out in,
Out in, out in, out in, out...

An unborn baby's view of a nuclear explosion/exchange. Profoundly scary and brilliant at the same time. Kate Bush is one of the most underrated song writers/singers in this country.

A fantastic songwriter. I love most of her work, particularly The Dreaming (the weird album!), Lionheart, and the latest one, Aerial.

I picked up a Rega P2 last week and a copy of Never For Ever - fantastic. Haven't turned on the TV since. Its not just the writing and the music but the quality of the production . The soundstaging (?) is brilliant. Shall definitely get some of her other albums. Any other well produce vinyl that anyone else can recommend for a jazz/choral/joni mitchell fan?

If you're a Joni fan, you'll probably already be familiar with Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. I picked up a vinyl copy last week and it sounds wonderful. Other recent gems, although not necessarily in your genre specifications, but nonetheless great on vinyl: Kill To Get Crimson - Mark Knopfler, R.Strauss' Sinfonia Domestica conducted by Zubin Metha, Joe Venuti & Friends & both Steely Dan's Gaucho and Countdown To Ecstasy.

Get yourself a Bush MTT-1...superb for £40!!! 5 star WHFS&V rated! I had one and I thought it was nearly as good as my Project Debut III when mated to a £3k setup!

Full moon, apparently.

Even though to me she is weird I do like a lot of her stuff, and I agree she is a stunner
