Give me the banshees for BVs!
Mar 12 2007
Format:Audio CD
It took me forever to find this CD in stores (it's surprisingly difficult to find Kate Bush CDs in Canada) and I was not disappointed when I sat down and listened to it. It flows very well, and may even be my favourite Kate Bush album to date (followed by The Kick Inside, and yeah, The Red Shoes --don't judge me, it's Kate at her most vulnerable, I think it's good).
1. "Babooshka" -- So very catchy! A great start to the album and I find myself humming this song a lot without even realizing it. Also has some good lyrics to boot.
2. "Delius (Song of Summer)" -- My least favourite song on the album, it's a bit dull. To this day I still don't even know what it's about.
3. "Blow Away (For Bill)" -- I really like this song, favourite part is definitely "Don't bump me, don't dump me back there. Please don't thump me, Don't bump me, I want to stay here." She has a wonderful voice!
4. "All We Ever Look For" -- This song reminded me of an N64 Mario game soundtrack at the very beginning and it took me a while to warm up to, but now it's probably one of my favourites. Interesting instrumentals, good lyrics!
5. "Egypt" -- Not my favourite, but still very interesting. I have to say that I'm biased against this song because I saw the video of it on the Christmas 1979 special and I was almost in tears from laughing at the weird costume. I love you Kate Bush.
6. "The Wedding List" -- I LOVE THIS SONG! My second favourite song on this album: awesome lyrics, story, vocals, guitar, bass, everything!
7. "Violin" -- Favourite song on the album by far. It gets me so pumped up and full of energy because it's so whacko! The shrieking is priceless, and listening to this song always cheers me up.
8. "The Infant Kiss" -- Really good vocals, really creepy lyrics. How she got away with writing this I have no idea, but I like the song nonetheless. (Creepy Kate is the best)
9. "Night Scented Stock" -- Interesting, I usually skip over it though. I like actually hearing Kate sing/listen to her lyrics.
10. "Army Dreamers" -- Ridiculously catchy, and also making an intelligent point on the inflated ego of society...love it.
11. "Breathing" -- AMAZING!! So terrifyingly haunting, "after the blast, chips of plutonium are twinkling in every lung," I absolutely adore this song! The last bit with the duet is the best.
This is a masterpiece of an album that I'd reccommend for anyone's CD collection, this CD was made 9 years before I was born and I still find it thrilling to listen to. Kate is brilliant!!

hits the spot!
April 1 2006
Format:Audio CD
one of my fave kate albums, there's echoes of the mad geniuus within her work, which doesn't always seem to work advantageously. my fave songs are "babooshka" as i think this is such an imaginative & creative song, another fave is "egypt" but all the tracks pretty much flow together collectively so is hard to differentiate individually, also "the wedding list" is excellent, tho at times her shrieking vocals can be a little offputting, & finally:
"army dreamers" and "breathing" are two of the most amazing & beautiful songs ever, along with "experiment IV" almost protest songs that hit the spot, some of kate's best songs.

An Early Foreshadow Of Genius: 3 1/2 Stars
Dec 24 2003
Format:Audio CD
An early indication of the genius that Kate Bush would become. The Lyrics speak with wit, ecocation, and provocation: repressed paedophilia and death from radioactive fallout are examples of the weird and varied sources Kate can seamlessly draw from. The music itself is sometimes a drawback: although it is obviously more layered and textured the experimental whims are sometimes caught in the stylistic trappings that defined her earliest work. This means that some tracks don't work as well as they should and others are just lightweight and boring. Still, there are mammoth songs here that provide far more than just cold comfort consolation.
Best Tracks: Beathing, Babooshka, The Infant Kiss.

Wonderfully weird and melodic sounds from Kate's 3rd album
Never For Ever followed the sweet and mellow Lionheart. This time around, Kate Bush's entry into weird sounds and vocals is in the making. And this album came out in 1980. Read more
