L O L :-))))) Enjoyed that! Seriously though when I heard the news I wasn't surprised especially with the idea of redoing stuff from The Red Shoes. I always thought it was an awful album especially regarding the sound. I'll reserve judgement until I actually hear the album. Naff title though; probably sound like a good idea at the time but the world she left has changed drastically for the worse....

Mmmm Kate Bush, yeah, I used to turn the sound and really enjoy her.

Kate was always "interesting" at the very least. Some of her music was stunningly good but mostly I just didn't get it.
I read somewhere that she had gotten permission to set Molly's soliloquy from Ulysses to music on a new album. Again... file under "interesting"

I bought Hounds of Love and played side 2 for nearly a month, and also used Never for Ever and the The Kick Inside as test records for auditioning equipment, and I like the wackiness of The Dreaming. I never really got Lionheart, The Sensual World or The Red Shoes. Aerial got a couple of plays but never floated my boat. To stretch a metaphor, like the Irish rugby team she's got a great match in her somewhere, so I'll be looking out for The Directors Cut, (although more in hope than expectation).

What poster??? Don't tell me you got a poster with the Aerial album! Or is it the gorgeous 12 x 12 book that came with the vinyl edition? Or is it THE poster?
