Aerial - Kate Bush

My daughter brought me this album as a birthday present as I like to try out new music but often can't afford to go out and splash out as I live on quite a tight budget at the moment. I first got in to Kate Bush when I was just a late teenager myself and when my children were first born. The album has 2 cds and has a very relaxing vibe to it. The first cd has 7 songs on which are all different and very unique. This cd has lots of electro rhythms and funky sounds to it.

Apart from King of The Mountain (Typical KB) I have to say I went to sleep listening to this.
Please Kate go back and finish the project with Prince - Now that was really breath taking!!!

Kate Bush made her fans wait twelve years for this one, while she was happily ensconced in her homelife bringing up a son. The material reflects this and the artwork on Aerial paves the way for the music, with a row of washing on a clothes line in the inner sleeve gradually metamorphosing into seagulls. There are two discs with seven and nine songs respectively and Aerial has been critically lauded and nominated for Best British album at this years Brit Awards, while Kate has been nominated for best female solo artist. ~A Sea of Honey~ begins with the single King of the Mountain which has a slow, rythmic beat and is about the myths that surround Elvis.
