A quiet journey into the imagination of Kate Bush
After more than 30 years of writing and recording music unlike anything anyone else produces, Kate Bush, a serious artist disguised as an almost accidental pop star, is as well-known for her musical eccentricities as for her imaginative lyrics, stunning vocals, and lush aural landscapes, and there is no doubt that "50 Words for Snow" could only have been conceived and created by Kate Bush. From the first moments of its quiet opening piano chords and choir-boy vocal performed by her son, Bertie, she takes us on a journey deep into the heart of Winter in a series of seven songs, each of which revels in the contemplative and introspective, rather as if we're sitting with her by a fire while she sits at her piano musing on the nature of love, life, language, and the album's central theme, snow. It's an incredibly intimate experience, listening to the first three tracks: "Snowflake," in which Bertie sings the role of a falling snowflake which Bush encourages to 'keep falling, I'll find...

Subtle dangers and beauties
Of any living musical artist, Kate Bush is the one who best understands her materials - music, voice, silence and words - and how to use them. She confessed in an interview this week (Nov 22, 2011) that she has lost interest in writing pop songs. For anyone else this would be a disaster; for Kate and for us it is a godsend. Pop music is really for teenagers after all; this album is for grownups. In 50WFS Kate has pared back her trademark lush layering of sound to key elements, yet they are used more artfully than in any of her previous work. It is recognizably Kate, but with a new kind of muscle and power that calls to mind the martial artist - someone who is at once both peacefully gentle and powerfully able - even dangerous.You should listen to this album as an album: snow is a subtle, fragile, beautiful and often deadly substance. As we move into the songs we are guided through landscapes of beauty, death, absence, mystery, unification, humor and joy. Each song tells a...

Startling us still ...
It may surprise people to think about it in these terms, but Kate Bush has been startling audiences with her unique artistic vision in a recording career that now extends across five decades.She first burst into public view as a teenager in 1978 with her hit single "Wuthering Heights" and debut album The Kick inside. It was then - and remains today - difficult to comprehend that a work so accomplished, so fully realised (and at times, so deeply personal and confronting) could have been produced by a precocious 19 year old.The 1980s would prove to be challenging decade for many artists who thrived in the 70s. But Bush flourished, producing a peerless trilogy of boldly experimental and startlingly beautiful albums: The Dreaming (1982); Hounds of Love (1985) and The Sensual World (1989). While the 1990s would prove to be more difficult for Bush artistically (and in some respects personally), after a 12 year absence, she returned in 2005 triumphantly, and at the...

Customer Review

Kate Bush at Her Artistic and Commercial Apex
At first listening, HOUNDS OF LOVE would seem to have little in common with Kate Bush's previous work; in some ways, however, it is a logical extension, for throughout her earlier work she had increasingly fused unlikely instruments with synthesizers while gradually leaving behind certain vocal affectations. For HOUNDS OF LOVE she would repeat this, fusing distinctly Irish-sounding instruments with synthesizers while continuing to downplay her extraordinary range to create a remarkably clean yet multi-layered sound that serves her material remarkably well. At the same time, she worked her penchant for macabre and bizarre imagery into a much more subtle idiom. The resulting HOUNDS OF LOVE seems, to me at least, like a combination of the melodic delicacy of her earliest recordings with the raw power of her immediately previous THE DREAMING.HOUNDS OF LOVE breaks into two distinctly separate yet stylistically similar parts, and it is a tribute to Bush's talents that she was able to...

One of the truly great eighties albums
"Hounds of Love" is the best Kate Bush album, her most successful, and yet it may be her least accessible. Certainly it contains a much wider musical range than most albums in 1985, what with the drums, guitars and pianos, followed by the bouzoukis, fiddles, uillean pipes, cellos and balalaikas. The album also has a wide range of allusion. Not only does it include a clip from "The Wall," but it also makes reference to Tennyson and Reich. Even more amazingly it actually make the portentous imperialist and the pseudo-scientific quack sympathetic and aesthetically successful. It starts off with the unusual love song "Running up that Hill," ("I'd make a deal with God/And get him to swap our places"). The video consists of a strange, intimate pair of dancers, which slowly spirals out of the attic where they are dancing to a strange foreign runway. "The Hounds of Love" is next and it is probably the song I care about the least. But then there is the joyful cheeriness of "The Big...

Hounds of Love is Kate's best studio album. Arf!
Kate Bush's fifth studio album was accused of being more accessible to the general public. While not as wonderfully bizarre as its predecessor, The Dreaming, Hounds Of Love not only proved she still had what it took, but had her develop a concept album for the latter seven songs.The first half, Hounds Of Love, is basically most of the singles. "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" It's that chorus, where's she's "runnin' up that road/runnin' up that hill/with no problem", which makes me wonder what the angels Damiel and Cassiel from Wings Of Desire would think. Would Kate accept a compromise trade, where she would trade places and become an angel instead of God?"The Big Sky" is a big yes to all those introspective, inwardly directed "extraterrestrial" cloudgazers who say, "that cloud looks like such and such" instead of literalists who say "that cloud looks like a bunch of suspended rain and ice particles."

Few women have expanded the vocabulary of rock as bewitchingly as Kate Bush; among male stars, only Prince may have taken as many risks. Hounds of Love saw Bush reining in the kookier aspects of The Dreaming, channelling them into epic electro-pop that tackled big issues of life and death and God with gripping drama and intensity. "Running Up That Hill" was one of the great singles of the '80s; "Cloudbusting" was string-driven, magically pretty; "Jig of Life" showed that Bush is one of the few pop artists who can flirt with Celtic mysticism without sounding twee or trite. Forget the riot grrrls: Bush is the real thing. --Barney Hoskyns Top to learn more

Director's Cut

Customer Review

Beautiful!
"Director's Cut" is Kate Bush's first album in six years, and while it's been way too long, it was well worth the wait! On her latest release, Bush revisits earlier songs she recorded from two previous albums (The Sensual World and The Red Shoes) which did not reflect her original vision. Some tracks have been reworked completely: for example, the opening track The Sensual World is now called Flower Of The Mountain, and has been expanded to include a passage from the James Joyce novel Ulysses. On others, she has re-recorded the drums and her vocals - an experience which, she explains, felt initially "like trying to open a door with the wrong-shaped key. So I changed the key and the door began to open." Bush's vocals may be lower pitched but other elements remain untouched to discover afresh: that wonderful plangent bass sound which is all over her albums, her world of esoteric influences, from the Bible's love poetry to Hindu mantras, from dark, demented fairytales to classic cinema,...

Product Description

2011 album from the British songstress. On Directors Cut, Kate revisits a selection of tracks from her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes, a process that presents a fascinating portrait of an artist in a constant state of evolution. She has re-recorded some elements whilst keeping the best musical performances of each song - making it something of a director's cut but in sound, not vision. All the lead vocals and drums are new performances, some of the tracks featuring guests including Steve Gadd, Danny Thompson and, on backing vocals, Mica Paris. Three songs have been completely re-recorded, one of which is 'This Woman's Work.' EMI. Top to learn more

Least Essential Remake Since Blue Monday 88
Clearly anyone who adores Kate Bush is simply happy to have "a" new album in their hands. The pyramids were built in less time than it takes for Kate to come down the mountain with new material. Just because I have every piece of vinyl and CD she has ever released (including Hounds of Love on marbleized vinyl and marbleized cassette), doesn't mean every single item is a home run. Look no further than that yawn from The Golden Compass.The Director's Cut is a shoo in for "Album of the Year", not in my annual Best of list, but rather The Onion's annual ranking of Least Essential Albums: albums neither good or bad, but simply had no reason to exist in the first place.It's always a dicey proposition to tinker with cherished artistic works. From George Lucas adding distracting special effects to Star Wars Episodes 4-6, New Order releasing Blue Monday 88, Real Life trumping them with Send Me An Angel 89, or Peter Hook touring England playing the songs of Joy Division...

so much so far, so so for now
I have been in love with Kate Bush's music since the mid 1980's. She can be odd, eccentric, enigmatic, and exciting. This album strips most of that from her. It feels like a bad experiment or a pressing to meet the demands of a recording contract. How in the world does anyone justify a remake of "This Woman's Work?" The result is pleasant but devoid of the original emotional punch of raw passion. So are the rest of the songs on this album. Its sad to think this is a tad of a wink toward making KB dentist office friendly under the guile of artistic reinvention. Kate Bush is better than this, fans know it, newcomer please take this advice and listen to her original recordings, of most import "The Hounds of Love"

Calming
I'm a relatively new fan of Kate's, having listened to her music for only a couple of years. A friend recommended her to me because I love Tori Amos and have since the late 90's. "The Sensual World" is the first album by Kate that I purchased and it's still my favorite. If I feel overly stressed or anxious, I immediately put this album on. It has an ethereal quality that is so soothing, but not enough to make me nod off. In fact, there is an energizing aspect to the album, but it's not overdone. My personal favorite tracks are "Never Be Mine", "Heads Were Dancing", and "This Woman's Work". This is a great album and I recommend it highly.

I finally "got it"
I avoided this album for years. I finally listened to it and I "got" it. What a smooth, sensual and complex album. Sonically amazing, with its bagpipes, American Indian flutes, penny whistles, church bells, electronic washes and spooky lyrics. I really love it. This Woman's Work is one of the best songs ever written. This is a Kate Bush album for people who would be terrified by any of other other stuff. Mature, mellow and something that needs to be listen to as a whole album. Just let yourself absorb this album on a cold autumn night.

Timeless Debut From A Legend
My exploration into the crazy world of Kate Bush began in December 2004 when I bought "Hounds Of Love." After quickly realising that it was one of the best albums I've ever heard, I set about buying more of her albums. However, I must have become distracted and it wasn't until August this year that I bought four of her albums in one go. One of these albums was her debut, 1978's "The Kick Inside." To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this album because I always assumed Kate Bush would be the kind of artist who got better with age. While this is still true, her debut album is absolutely flawless. A ground-breaking, melodic and joyous set that sounded like nothing else at the time it was released.The album charted at No.3 when it was released and was a big hit for the then-19 year old pop star. The album was produced by David Gilmour, of Pink Floyd legend, who also discovered and financed Kate and got her a record deal after discovering her unique talent. Kate Bush had...

"Moving" Indeed
Released while still in her teens, this debut by Kate Bush is deceptively simple. One would not expect tons of musical sophistication in the structures of her songs. And, if the truth be told, the emotional palette of the album is fairly limited as well--that is to say, compared to her later work, there is a romantic dreaminess suffusing Bush's vocals throughout that is of unparalleled beauty, and even naivete.Behind the simplicity of the verse-chorus song structures is a ferocious imagination. The vocal line of the opening song, "Moving" is more than enough to sound like some kind of complete reinvention of all singing. It is one of the most beautiful (and moving) things that Bush has ever recorded. And, as throughout all of her career, the musicians she has playing for her are genuine masters of tact, taste and musicianship. The bass player, in particular, deserves to be in the Hall of Fame for his playing.There is no doubt that this is a first album by a...

Out of print in the U.S., this is the debut album by the highly acclaimed British pop vocalist. Contains all 13 of the tracks from when EMI first released it for her in 1978, including the international smash 'Wuthering Heights' and the U.S. chart hit 'Man With The Child In His Eyes'. Also contains the original European cover art. The All-Music Guide gave 'The Kick Inside' four & a half stars (out of five possible). An EMI release. Top to learn more

Kicking things off with a whimper, not a bang, Kate Bush quietly released her 1978 debut, The Kick Inside and that disc still to this day affects an incredible number people, Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan among them. There are so many elements that make this disc unique--Kate's soaring soprano, her warm piano playing--but the one thing that perhaps sticks out most is how different her sounds were from anything else circulating at that time. Ten years before "alternative" hit the forefront, this music was neither easy nor palatable, truly an alternative from the other styles out there. Among the more legendary tracks, search out "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" and her timeless classic "Wuthering Heights." --Denise Sheppard Top to learn more

A Completely New Voice
Imagine that Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, and Patti Smith pooled their musical genes and gave rise to a single unique musical artist. What would that artist be like? Well, if the artist happened to be a young English-Irish woman, it might be Kate Bush: a superior musician, a remarkable vocalist, a talented writer, a theatrical visionary, and a truly unique--often to the point of the bizarrely weird--performer.During the recording of her first three albums, Kate Bush--a protege of Pink Floyd--seemed primarily preoccupied with extending her vocal range, which is quite astonishing, and then twisting what would normally be considered an elegant soprano into a cat-like sound that bespeaks of angels, devils, faires, witches, lovers, and killers all rolled into one. The result is often gothic in tone, darkly flavored, and extremely strange, with the delicacy of her voice playing sharply against the intensity of her material. Some loved her; some hated hated her; but none...
