The Infant Kiss for me. And the French language version, L'Baiser Enfant, is just peachy too.

Night Scented Stock!
It's the key to the Infant Kiss through Breathing chunk that I've been listening to every day lately.
But for real, I can't choose between Egypt, Infant Kiss, and Breathing. I'll have to think about this for a day or two.

One of my fave KB albums. "Blow Away" is especially gorgeous and so I voted for it. Hard to pick just one on here, though!

Here's probably the best Never For Ever-related video, "Egypt" from the Christmas special. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvA96fTftNU

Sync night scented stock with blow away bill for some bonus harmonies. Seriously

Maybe I couldn't imagine anyone else writing Army Dreamers, but All We Ever Looked For is even more distinctively Kate. Absolutely can't imagine anyone else writing/recording anything close to that (prior to her doing so anyway).

"Blow Away."
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 28 December 2017 03:41 (six years ago) link
love the sonic details in this album, like the suppressed choir from hell on "Egypt", or the radio chatter on "Breathing" and the voice saying "don't let go" in collision with her "let go" vocal on the infant kiss. Bush was more foreground in the production and this was a transitional album to the same sonic signifiers and tendency towards sonic experiments she would use on "the dreaming" and "the hounds of love" and further.
― kolakube (Ross), Thursday, 28 December 2017 04:13 (six years ago) link
feel like what sets this record apart is it feels like the first expansion on the sonic ideas she may have initiated on tracks like "moving" (kick inside) without the laser-eye experimentation of "dreaming" or honing back to commercial whims on "Hounds of Love". and it's a good set of songs. the end
― kolakube (Ross), Thursday, 28 December 2017 04:24 (six years ago) link
is that how night scented stock came to be? were those background vocals meant to be used on blow away?
― akm, Thursday, 28 December 2017 19:07 (six years ago) link
Not sure the story tbh akm but it's a cool detail!
