5.0 out of 5 stars Best by the best, Nov 20 2003
This review is from: Dreaming (Audio CD)
My favourite album by my favourite singer. Kate Bush, where are you now that we need you - in other words, now that Celine Dion has taken absolute control of the airwaves? On this, Kate's most rewarding album precisely because it's her most "difficult", every track takes you to a different area of her ever-exploring mind. No safe pop fodder here - in fact, none of these tracks ever received airplay in South Africa. Boldly pushing back boundaries to show how broad her musical vision had become via her three previous albums, Kate offers ten diverse stories laced with lyrical and instrumental innovation. It starts with a bang and ends with one, with no dull patches in-between. It was a commercial failure in comparison to her previous releases, but then again so what - the Spice Girls were a commercial success.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where's the follow-up?, Nov 20 2003
This review is from: La Llorona (Audio CD)
In an age when so many Idols-type generic voices are allowed to record their "interpretations" of up-till-now immortal songs, this is a breath of fresh air. Strong melodies, almost all of them new, with striking arrangements. A completely original sound and you don't have to understand a word of Spanish to know what it's all about. My only problem is: What happened to the artist and is there ever going to be a follow-up?
