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'.

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

Re: Kate Bush
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...
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...

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

Re: Kate Bush
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.

Re: Kate Bush
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.

totally agree with you,side 2 is lovely._D_S_J_R_ wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2017 10:56 am ... 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...."

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.
