Thanks for the heads-up on that video which was really interesting. It is one of my all-time favourite albums and I always enjoyed the Ninth Wave on the B side more than the singles, so it was great to have some insight into how this concept piece was conceived and recorded.

There is a DVD of the same documentary available on Amazon for those that cannot record it or via chromedreams.co.uk

i'm stuck between The Dreaming and Never for Ever. both brilliant works of art

The Kate Bush story is back on BBC iPlayer - but just for a few days - missed it last time

Interesting to see people cite Aerial as their favorite album. It's the only one I don't have, and I really need to invest in a copy.

Well it was good - nice to see Viv from the Slits in there, and Natascha Khan (who is also awesome). A bit bemused why they had no mention of Cloudbursting? - it really should have been longer and given more time to the music. I think the point that Trickey made she is so unique it's hard to see who influenced her, and that she's like a genre all to herself is so true.

It's OK - parts of it are lovely, parts don't hang together as well as some of her other works though - I prefer The Dreaming, along with Hounds of Love, The Kick Inside and The Sensual World.

It still blows my mind how a 15 year old can write a song like The man with the child in his eyes - such a mature work. And she was so ahead of her time as a performer too.

Saw the BBC documentary the other night. Lapped it up!

I had those Athena posters of Kate & Debbie Harry on my walls as a teenager. We won't go into that too far ...

I had no idea that Dave Gilmour 'discovered' her. All I knew was his great playing on 'Rocket's Tail', years later.

Totally agree about 'The Man with the Child in his Eyes'. Astonishing talent.

Still no luck... (but I'm not at all a network specialist). :/

Bet I've listened to The Sensual World a thousand times. Funny, It's the only KB album that I have. I need to get busy I suppose.

Kate Bush: Hounds of Love - Documentary...
