Kate Bush 'Never For Ever' Poll

"Army Dreamers" you contrarian mothers.

violin cracks me up every time

WHACK THAT DEVIL

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!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I still haven't played this album yet. Thanks Noodle for the vote of confidence. Army Dreamers all the fucking way.

I'm playing it now, like a good boy...

Everyone knows she's god.

fucking Delius, people. IS SHE NOT GOD????

THE WEDDING LIST

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

And here's Wedding List from the same special http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7-DKGAeRgs

^^^Her in the Babooshka video...I love that this is her conception of what some crazy homewrecker id woman looks like.

I have wanted to do that as a Halloween costume forever but it wld be a pain in the ass to explain to everyone what I was supposed to be.

The first British nunber one album to be written and performed by a woman: http://nobilliards.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/kate-bush-never-for-ever.html

would go to renfair with KB ++

i got so much love for Delius

All we ever look for was robbed. Some days I would say this is the best Bush album

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

wedding list also robbed

how did Breathing not win this

0 votes for wedding list makes as much sense as a screen door on a submarine

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).

(I showed restraint by not using the word "quintessentially.")

"Blow Away."

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.

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

is that how night scented stock came to be? were those background vocals meant to be used on blow away?

Not sure the story tbh akm but it's a cool detail!
