There's some amazing moments on Aerial but the first disc is just too weak for me, although Coral Room is incredible.

kate bush album cover is so unbelievably boring

Didn't vote for Aerial, I do think it's great though. I honestly had no idea it was still so well-liked.

lol I just now realized what the design on the cover of the Kate Bush album is (not that I ever looked to closely at it before).
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:00 (thirteen years ago) link
"Coral Room" is beautiful. So is "Joanni," which makes me wish more musicians recorded on Fairlights.

kate bush cover is great? its islands but its also a soundwave and there's a hidden message?
― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Imagine Kate Bush covering "Radar."

"Coral Room" is beautiful.
Yes yes yes yes yes.

its also hilarious that britney was so out of it they couldn't release Radar as a single so had to put it on Circus. My CD still says featuring the singles Gimme More, Piece of Me, Break the Ice and Radar
― plax (ico), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:03 (thirteen years ago) link
"how to be invisible" and "a coral room" are my picks on the first cd of aerial, though "mrs bartolozzi" is kinda beautiful too
the second cd is just straight-up genius start to finish

i wouldn't call Aerial her best album, but it is def top three for me (the others being HoL and The Dreaming). immersive is a good word to describe it, just beautifully produced. its cinematically intimate in that unique Kate Bush way--she evokes subtle emotions and use sound and imagery to make them explode.

Aerial always sounded quite similar musically to The Sensual World to me but it's wider in scope and more rewarding for it. I'm going to listen to it now I think.
― Gavin in Leeds, Monday, 12 July 2010 21:09 (thirteen years ago) link
I very much admired the DP's show at Pitchfork Fest a couple of years ago; the album never gelled for me though.

iirc there was some kind of contractual obligation to the producer of "Radar" or something that the song had to be a single, so when they had a new album ready but hadn't made it a single yet, they just kinda shuffled it into the next album cycle

I think people namedropping mariah carey in relation to dirty projectors is the least-fitting reference ever.. desperate attempt to claim popism authenticity, for reals

I can't think of a better pair of closing tracks right now than Nocturn and Aerial. I saw a clip of Cirque du Soleil performing to Aerial - sadly it was dubbed on later, they actually perform to something else, but it was still great.

look at that album cover. i mean really
(have now segued into the Aerial title-track - this is v good music indeed)

i can't believe anyone has complained about any album cover ever in history in a thread with the Hold Steady album in it.

just thinking about the depth and breadth of kate bush's artistry makes me smh so much at dirty projectors placing above her, next to kate they literally come off like six-year-olds messing around

Hm. Will Justified appear?
i've made my peace w/that album and basically like it but it's soooooo ridiculously overrated
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 12 July 2010 21:21 (thirteen years ago) link
In hindsight Justified is clearly the better album. But there are some real bangers on Futuresex, still.
