How has 2005's The Ian changed from 2011's The Ian?not in relation to Kate Bush, just in general.

 

[Goodbye]

Loaded question

I found a fox / caught my jocks.

the new album is being streamed on npr. Gave it a listen yesterday. About half of it is instantly catchy and good. I'm going back to try again with the rest of it.

 

[Goodbye]

But you know all the songs already though

This doesn't include The Whole Story, although as greatest-hits compilations go, it's great (the redone version of "Wuthering Heights" kicks the original's butt).

Paul

That the reason I didn't buy it. I wanted the original.

Its not great

I like it! I was a bit wary at the beginning with that cheesy synth sound but by the end I knew there was something good happening. The unedited version is here : http://disconaivete.com/post/11268806108

Timely thread. I brought three Kate Bush CDs for my commute today. Discman packed it in just as I hit play on The Dreaming.

That's a kick in the bush.

Anyone got the new album? I had a few listens, still early days, not sure what to make of it yet. It's a bit of a change of direction for her, the first few tracks at least - very long songs with piano+orchestra+drums+various singers. the young lad sings the first one, he has a cool voice, although not for much longer i'd say. It's not jazzy music but it has a bit of a classic jazz album vibe off it, very spacious and quite cinematic. the second half is a bit ropey. Elton John's singing is ok but its not that much of a tune, the stephen fry one is a bit of a throwaway idea that goes on way too long, theres a another pretty but slight piano ditty and then its over. I shoulda gone for the vinyl after all - i could not bother listening to disc 2 without feeling like i was cheating. €26 for the vinyl though. Its rare that i hear new albums that have this level of thought and care put into the performance and production, it sounds great. i presume others are doing it but I'm out of touch.

Listened to the first two tracks on NPR yesterday. It sounds amazing, as you say, spacious and cinematic. Not sure the track lengths are justified though, I was getting a little bored.

Yeah, a bit too long probably, but all the best albums take a while to learn to appreciate

this is deadly

Does anyone else ever get that weird mental effect where a word that your thinking gets slowed down and slurred and drawn out in your mind?

Pretty compelling alright - If that was available when I was a teenager, I never would have left the gaf.
Now I know where Slowdive came up with their sound.

I think I know what you mean about the slowed down word thing.

You were wondering where Slowdive got their sound from?

Ha! Well, kind of - if they could trick around with time, like they could with studio equipment!

It's those slowed down elongated notes that remind me of them. One of the comments on the You Tube vid said it first!
