kate bush "aerial"

Failing that, maybe it's not really Mick Karn playing the bass on that track?

In any case, you seem to be obsessed with Mick Karn. Jesus man, why don't you just marry Mick Karn? (Forgive me, I'm just foolin')

"Bass: Eberhard Weber, John Giblin, Del Palmer"

So the "soft jazz" involved is ECM, not Wyndham Hill.

I wonder why Karn's website says this then:

"It's been a long time but we can now confirm that Kate Bush's new album, titled "Aerial", is to be released on 7th November 2005. The first single from the album "King Of The Mountain" is to be released sooner on 24th October.

Mick Karn plays on the track "How to be Invisible" "

E: Number 1 replacing Sufjan Stevens

F: Outside Top 10

I haven't even looked for leaks of it, I'm just going to buy it Tuesday and let Kate seduce me.

Nothing overblown about it, just so understated...like soundtrack music. Shades of where she's been (Ninth Wave...even one song reminded me of the Cathy Demos) but then she slips a bit of jazz in the back door or just something a little unexpected, but still so, so subtle. And whatever that gorgeous sound is on "How To Be Invisible" - it reminds me of some other music I can't put a finger on...maybe even Fleetwood Mac's keyboard sound at times...I haven't figured out what the instrumental parts of that remind me of. Really bugged me first time I heard it. Something more recent than old Fleetwood Mac, but what is it that it reminds me of? Argh. Anyway...

This album is like staring up at this giant monolith stretching miles into the sky. We're drifting through space and Kate's at the helm of our spaceship.

AND DID ANYONE CATCH THE CONNECTION IN NOCTURNE WHEN SHE SAYS "tHE vEIL OF dIamOND dust wE'LL JUST REACH UP AND TOUCH IT......./diAMOND NIGHT/A dIAMOND sea/A DIAMOND SKYyYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"???????

IT'S JUST LIKE WHAT SHE SAID ON THE FIRST ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
"cOME UP AND BE A KITE/aND FLY A dIAMOND nIGHT/a DIAMOND KITE/DIAMOND KITE/oOH WHAT A DIAMOND!/A DIAMOND KITE/ON A DIAMOND FLIGHT/OVER THE LIGHT, UNDER THE MOON/OVER THE LIGHT/UNDER THE MOON/OVER THE MOON, OVER THE MOON........."

And doesn't it seem like a little action figure of an acoustic Lindsey Buckingham on "Nocturne"? The kind of nice little toy you could buy for a child?

PI MAKES ME DROOL. SHE'S SINGING NUMBERS FOR DOG'S SAKE.

I LOVE THE REPEAT BUTTON ON MY CD PLAYER. I'VE GOT ALL NIGHT. I CAN GO FOR FOUR MORE HOURS AT LEAST.

- "hOW to be InvISible"

"goodnight mum!"

yeah, it's obvious she's only making music for herself. which is fine.

Look I really do feel that this album is the cure for Cancer, AIDS, secret to world peace, etc. oh my god I just realized I left the last track off when I made my CD! Oh please shoot me, I'm guilty. No, it can't be true. I shouldn't even talk. Never mind. Look, I have ordered the album already so at least I have paid for it.

I will say though, that I have absolutely NO problem with King of The Mountain now that I've heard the rest of the album. It fits in so very nicely and perfectly. It just isn't much of a "single" but then nothing on this is, and I like it that way.

I can't believe I missed the last track! Please shoot me now!

Also have strings sounded so good since the 19th century than they do on "Bertie"? (okay I trust you ILMers will point to examples, but never mind)

Somewhere during "Prologue" I realize I'm not in Kansas anymore. Further, I find it interesting that every time I hear the album it's always during "Somewhere In Between" that I suddenly notice it just does not SOUND like her, like nothing she's ever done before. This feeling continues through "Nocturne". What an acheivement!!

and then she just keeps going!

Fuck, that song kills me. The Bertie song too, I have nephews ages 5 and 3 and they are so much like that.

Top three of the year for me, for sure. And I didn't even really like the last two!

I rather like it.
