I graduated in 91 but was all up in Kate Bush's grill from when Hounds of Love came out in 86.

My apologies, too. There is certainly no hostility between us. I get a little carried away in responding sometimes.

never fully appreciated the greatness of those lyrics about burying the YoYo in Cloudbusting until i read about the use of radium (radioactive) glow in the dark paint that used to be put on watch faces and novelty items.

So I listened to this 12" version of "The Big Sky" for the first time in forever, and realized that midway through it has those same voices that show up in "Waking The Witch."
Which also made me think that Side One has always felt like a string of more conventional pop songs, while Side Two is this novella...but if this longer version of "The Big Sky" were on the album, it would make Side One just as much of a story.

I've always preferred 'Cloudbusting' to 'Running Up That Hill', fwiw.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 24 April 2018 06:37 (six years ago) link
been really enjoying 'The Big Sky' lately. it works really well as a surprise drop in a DJ set
― brand new universal harvester (dog latin), Tuesday, 24 April 2018 08:14 (six years ago) link
cloudbusting is the best song here. One of the finest uses of a minimal drum beat in a pop song ever and the train SFX ending is perfect
― after party for the apocalypse (Ross), Tuesday, 24 April 2018 08:27 (six years ago) link
Are these the only 12" mixes she put out? Cause they're all damn good.
Cloudbusting (The Organon Mix) 6:33The Big Sky (Meteorological Mix) 7:45Experiment IV (12" Mix) 6:37
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 15:27 (six years ago) link
The 12" Extended Mix of Running Up That Hill is mainly louder drums and some dubby echo effects on the vocals. Probably of some use for 'club play' but loses atmosphere by bringing elements into sharper focus IMO. Actually the Instrumental on the other side works better and does retain some parts of the vocal.

Some of the Red Shoes singles had "12-inch" remixes, I think?

The 12" of "Hounds of Love" (the song) is close to being an entirely different song iirc?

Right, that's from the "Hounds Of Love" 12", I forgot about that one. It's on the "This Woman's Work" bonus discs.
The "Running Up That Hill" 12" has a 5:45 extended version.
"The Big Sky" 7" has a 4:34 "Special Single Mix". Are any of the other 7" versions more than just an edit?
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 25 April 2018 15:17 (six years ago) link
Oh, and it looks like those two I mentioned are on this CD single: https://www.discogs.com/Kate-Bush-The-Red-Shoes/release/1412937
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Wednesday, 25 April 2018 15:18 (six years ago) link
It'd be neat if she did a tour where the set was just a 70-90 minute version of Running Up That Hill

Has there ever been a thread for extendedMixes of 80s songs? There’s tons of dope extended mixes online of everything from kim carnes to the cars. Like the extended version of Drive is beautiful

^ I love this track, too. I've seen The Field live a bunch of times and he always plays it; particularly great with a live drummer. There's something super uplifting about dancing to these samples of Kate's voice.

Pulled this up for a listen today and found that Spotify has a “2018 Remaster” version. Through headphones, the strings are much more distinct and the drums are intense.

Not so strange, those are mostly subtle mood pieces on an album with a lot of tracks and several better-known songs. If someone told me their favourite song on the record was "Mother Stands For Comfort", I'd respond, "Oh, you don't like Kate Bush?"
