I cannot believe this. Just to be able to hear songs that never got a proper release, or hear her play them blockbusters live on piano.

You fake Katie fan!

HamsterHuey said:

Oh! Just shut your fucking mouth and take your clothes off.

Cloudbuster said:

No. I really liked it.

GangstaFam said:

Did you listen to just the song or the entire album?

Time to enlighten us with a smallish review? Curious what your thoughts are...

HamsterHuey said:

Here's the deal...

I've been buying up Kate Bush albums when I can find them used. It's mostly an obligatory curiosity to see what all the fuss is about and if I think the Tori comparisons are accurate. I'm past all the wanting to like her or hate her and decided to just listen. I bought "Hounds of Love" this week and couldn't wait anymore (I know you said to start with the first one). I'm gonna let this one sink in a bit and then move on to "The Sensual World" and "The Dreaming". I'll give my thoughts on Hounds once I've listened a few more times.

Cloudbuster said:

you gotta hear the demo with just her and the piano. It's not as eccentric, but I like it that way.

AnckSuNamun said:

Okay, I'll look around for it.

I might even go so far as to say that I'm starting to love this song.

Violin is amazing. Next you'll be saying them heavy people is shite too. Then I'll have to kill you.

sermwanderer said:

I love Violin too. Them Heavy people isn't a favorite of mine though.

Let's talk about Kate's videos.

sermwanderer said:

the video is bordering funny and unbearable.

GangstaFam said:

If I had been around the corner I would have come over to spank that wiry behind for not giving us a full review.



Jimeny Cricket! I cant wait til you get yer hands on The Kick Inside.

I am playing Katie's and Tori's mom's music now!

I will give it a full review. But I've only listened to it twice and the first half a few extra times. I don't feel qualified to give anything other than first impressions. Patiece, my dear.

sermwanderer said:

Nah, man. Them Heavy People is a fine tune.

AnckSuNamun said:

Babooshka!

GangstaFam said:

I am not known for my patience, LoL

I am just SO curious. Just like Andy, you are wandering over the artistic grounds of one of my favourite artists for the FIRST time.

I mean, wow...Oh, to be in love...

HamsterHuey said:

I'm not very patient either, but you're gonna have to be.

Cloudbuster said:

correct

GangstaFam said:

POUNCE! POUNCE! POUNCE!

Slightly off-topic, maybe, but have you had a chance to find and check out Roisin Murphy's first two Sequins EP's?

It's my soundtrack to a slightly better spring...

I guess 'Kate Bush-The Whole Story' may well be worth purchasing just to give you a flavour of her material, as it is a greatest hits package of sorts. It is the only collection of Kate Bush material I own.

For those who are really into her work, to what extent does '...The Whole Story' paint a good picture of her strengths as an artist?

HamsterHuey said:

Nope. Who is she again?

GangstaFam said:

'The Sensual World' is good. That was the first Kate album I ever bought back in 89. And you can trust me. I'm not gonna feed you propaganda like Cloudbuster.

I remember a friend of mine had it back when it came out and I was intrigued. I'll probably start in on it tonight.

the same as the very best of prince, tbh

a lot of her videos are kinda hard to take....imo.
