Kate Bush

[Fretless]

I bought 'The Whole Story' collection just to have 'Experiment IV', which is a great song.

And I really like '50 Words For Snow', a very intriguing album.

But, let's face it, 'Lionheart is just a duff set of leftovers from 'The Kick Inside'.

Are you for real? You read like a bunch of pervy old men. Kate Bush is a talented singer/songwriter. Why the sex angle?

Because we weren't old men when she started forty years ago now and as I said, she knew she had 'it' and used it (on screen especially) to best advantage...

Kate was rather fond of the leotard in her early days! Caused quite a stir back then.

Here is a 20 min, Dutch TV special from 1978 of Kate performing in 'The Efteling' in Holland.
This is a fantasy theme park which inspired Walt Disney to build the first Disneyland. It is still an enormously popular attraction in The Netherlands and my wife worked there as a designer for some years.

Agreed with all the above, just like to add apart from the poetic moves,
it's the way she looks at the camera, so lovely, so pure and innocent,pure beaut.

Thanks for the link Frettie, enjoyed that.

... and boy did she 'milk it' to the camera for all she was worth - cough

Side 2 of Hounds of Love is an absolute masterwork imo from beginning to end, although there are standout songs after this. Was all this really half my life ago?


"Let me be weak, let me sleep, And dream of sheep...."

totally agree with you,side 2 is lovely.
if i may change the subject quickly,dave i read a thread from long ago on decca cartridges in which you said you once heard a decca gold on an alphason hr100,if you remember would you care to elaborate please.

I'm with you kimangelis. I find this whole conversation more than a little bit creepy and sordid.

Thomas Dolby's Flat Earth is a great album IMHO, still listen to it now from time to time.
Another one of that era was Yello's first album You've go to say yes to another excess. A bit unusual but some very interesting ideas.
