Kate Bush - The Sensual World

The Sensual World was actually always one of my least favorites of Kate's albums, one of the less accessible of an often little-accessible artist's works, but the title track doesn't suck (and neither does A Deeper Understanding).
And the video is pretty. (First time I've seen it, gotta love youtoobs.) Lawd she was hot too.




The cover was striking though. She has been very well photographed.

I agree. Although my dislike extended to the cover as well. Horrible.

My all time favourite Kate song is Hello Earth. A masterpiece.

Yes, the Hounds Of Love double is a giant.

Somewhere ... SOMEWHERE ... I have some VERY nice piccies of Miss Bush when she came to my studio way back then for a prospective album cover shoot.
'Proper' monochrome on FP4 film ... and she's ALMOST wearing a small white scarf, on a white leather couch, and nothing else but a smirk and very high heels :-)
Record company vetoed the pictures!

Damn, please find those!! :-)

I know precisely where they are ... a filing cabinet about 15 feet away. Unfortunately, the key to the cabinet and I became strangers earlier this year: I put it somewhere 'safe' in a hurry one day, and have never seen it since despite a diligent search back in summer!
If anyone out there can tell me how to NON-destructively gain access to a locked mahogany filing cabinet, sans key, I'll do my best to oblige!
Thinking about it, there are all sorts of 'goodies' in there ... it was / is my 'lockup' for work that was never destined for public consumption :-)

As an xmas gift, I'll sponsor a lock smith for you. Just mail me your paypal address.

My goodness! What did I just read...

Havent heard much of it but she redid 11 tracks from Sensual World and Red Shoes and released them earlier this year as The Directors Cut, and good luck with the lock breaking.

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

Oh, "The Directors Cut" is that new? It was actually on cable that I saw one of those videos, a remix of A Deeper Understanding. Which I actually thought was inferior to the original, it ruined the melody in the chorus.

Sukiho said...

I thought the same but Kates music grows on you and doesnt always sound good first listen, as with much good art, and she obviously prefers the new versions, so I will give them another try sometime
