I just pulled out _The Whole Story_ the other day and it's still a damn good place to start. Clearly she's due for a new retrospective as _TWS_ only goes through 1986! But it culls choice tracks from her early albums, enough to help you decide if you want to pursue them further.

It was raining and I was alone this week so I put on Hounds of Love and it made me cry. It's not an album to dip into, it has to be heard from start to finish, then again. For when those moments pop out at you and make you sit up, "pause for a jet", "look who's here to see you", "Murderer!".the key change when the Hello Earth theme returns. I put this moment here.

Much as I love Kate and any deserved publicity she gets in this newfound diva era, I kind of read that and just found myself going "and you're point is?" towards the end. Is that a usual thing with The Guardian - random-esque articles in which some randomite (?) reminisces over why he likes such and such, their virtues, and then fin?
Anyways, that Razzamatazz video is mesmerizing and yet the whole thing with there being children in the background just made lusting slightly awkward.

David Mitchell isn't a randomite. You could make a case for 'cloud atlas' being the kind of book Kate would write if she was a novelist. Mitchell adoring her makes perfect sense.

KATE BUSH RELEASES “DIRECTOR’S CUT” A NEW ALBUM WHICH SEES HER RE-VISIT A SELECTION OF TRACKS FROM TWO OF HER CLASSIC ALBUMS.
London, 11 March 2011
Kate Bush releases an unusual new album “Director’s Cut” on May 16 on her own label Fish People, in conjunction with EMI.
On “Directors Cut” Kate revisits a selection of tracks from her albums “The Sensual World” and “The Red Shoes”, a process that presents a fascinating portrait of an artist in a constant state of evolution. She has re-recorded some elements whilst keeping the best musical performances of each song – making it something of a director’s cut but in sound, not vision.
A new version of “Deeper Understanding” will be released as a single in April. Although written some twenty years ago, the song may be more relevant today than ever…
Kate is currently working on new material although no release date has been set for this.
“Director’s Cut” will be released in the following formats:
Digital Album, Standard CD in a case-bound book, Deluxe CD (three disc package, including Director’s Cut, The Sensual Word and re-mastered The Red Shoes) in a case-bound book and two-disc vinyl.
Other digital and vinyl formats will be made available on katebush.com. Details will be published shortly.

amazing to think there's not been a decent Best Of / Greatest Hits album in almost 25 years. especially seeing as she's on EMI and all.
― piscesx, Friday, 11 March 2011 15:41 (thirteen years ago) link
haha so it's not actually a new new album
sure it'll be nice but can't get excited about reissues really
― lex pretend, Friday, 11 March 2011 15:47 (thirteen years ago) link
ah, but she is very wise..
"The Red Shoes" got the most 'unexcited' reviews she ever had, and putting them in with "The Sensual World" which got the most (ahem) excited ones, sounds like all this stuff will get fashioned into something better.
(I don't own either, and really don't know either either)
― Mark G, Friday, 11 March 2011 15:58 (thirteen years ago) link
And, of course, she won't feel the need to break cover and appear anywhere to publicise these, right?
― Mark G, Friday, 11 March 2011 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah these are pretty much my least favourite Kate Bush records so hopefully something great will come out of it. The Sensual World in particular would benefit from being re-recorded and re-arranged Aerial-style.
― Matt DC, Friday, 11 March 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Would be incredible to hear Wuthering Heights redone (not that there's anything wrong with it!). But imo those are pretty safe albums to re-sing... I'm still curious as to whether Kate can still belt or not. Aerial was fairly mellow, on the vocal range...
― yeah (kelpolaris), Friday, 11 March 2011 18:05 (thirteen years ago) link
the sensual world is perfect and fine, red shoes is like, 1/2 good. so I hope for some improvement there but resent the fucking with Sensual World. Also, the three disc package: are both albums remastered or just red shoes? don't get it.
way to get all sylvian on us, re-recording and arranging things. ugly cover art too. bah.
― akm, Friday, 11 March 2011 18:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Would be incredible to hear Wuthering Heights redone (not that there's anything wrong with it!)
she resung it for the whole story i think - it's less shrill, i guess i'm used to the original though.
are there any examples of an artist redoing their back catalogue that are actually significant improvements (i'm talking "omg this is great" rather than "this is just nice") on the originals? when tori amos did it, it was pretty much entirely ignorable.

A while back we were talking about acts that sound like Kate Bush, a friend of mine put me on to Li Garattoni’s ‘Find Out What I'm Dreaming’ LP from 1982 on the weekend, and some of the record fits the bill such as ‘Find Out What I'm Dreaming’.

― donna rouge, Friday, 25 November 2022 19:26 (one year ago) link
The Futureheads cover of Hounds was how I discovered her. I posted here that discovering KB was like finding out that you'd been living next to a skyscraper without noticing. Bimble replied "please tell me that you have or are planning to buy The Dreaming" which was lovely, like having an older sibling with cool taste to nag you.
