Kate Bush: "Never For Ever" C/D?

i'm trying to put together a beat tonight and it's not working out yet. i think i'm gonna listen to the song i just finished writing instead. but first, a hit of aerial - maybe a little how to be invisible?...

i know, all so random. saturday night in my head. i used to go out more, i really did, but i find the keyboard infinitely more suggestive an activity in my free time. oh and i've been wanting to get back into my agatha christie... you guys should try listening to the dreaming while reading an agatha christie book. it's a head trip you'll never forget.

oh and a dash or two of Liz Phair along the way. And Madonna, of course. Yeah.

hehe, i know, i know, enough

joanni is really getting on my good side. hmm. coral room, uh oh...

is that an expression?

i mean, take songs like Delius, Blow Away, Violin and The Wedding List. the structure of the melodies and music of those songs is sooo freakin loopy - it's really hard to put your finger on it. even on the more "weird" and "experimental" The Dreaming, there are no melodies as erratic as Violin and The Wedding List. and the sheer compositional quality of Delius and Blow Away challenges even the most innovative arrangements on The Dreaming.

pulsating instrumentation

and

intervals as melody

;P

could be totally wrong

it's cute

blow away

blow away

blow away

Btw. Ramzi, is there any other music you like, besides Kate Bush? Being so heavily into Kate Bush, I guess you might enjoy Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell or Tori Amos... :)

any other music? hehe, okay. i started with The Breeders as a preteen - obsessed (still love em). Then came Belly, Throwing Muses, Juliana Hatfield, Bjork (BJORK!). Then came the whole Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Zep, The Doors thing. Then TORI TORI TORI. And sprinkle some Joni in.

Then, senior year of college (year and a half ago now?), Kate Bush. Biggest, baddest, most recent.

Never heard the Gabriel! I know, I should investigate right? Or Bowie?

so yeah. thanks for rearing your geiry head! ;P

Anyway, so I see you only discovered the Kate. That might explain your terrible obsession now, and I hope the likes of Geir gives you a break when they consider that this is all very new to you.

Never heard of Peter Gabriel? Ouch. If there was ever a perfect male accompaniment to Kate, it's him. They've done more than one duet together I assume you know? Try "Don't Give Up" on Gabriel's "So" album for starters, you'll recognize Kate's voice in there right away. They also did a duet of Roy Harper's "Another Day" but I don't know if that exists with anything other than HORRIBLE sound quality. I've got a video of them together on a TV program doing that, but again horrible quality. Anyway as far as Gabriel solo, I must stick my head in and recommend either his self-titled album with the melted face sleeve (he has a lot of albums titled Peter Gabriel, so watch out, they are known by the sleeves) which I believe also features Kate on backing vocals on a few tracks, and also I particularly like his live album from the early 80's entitled "Peter Gabriel Plays Live" which if you've read the entire Aerial thread you will have already bored of hearing me speak about! Haha.

Bless you Ramzi.

will add more later (as i'm sure you fully expect) ;P

r

You may start by checking out "Don't Give Up" and "Games Without Frontiers", considering Kate Bush sings on both. :)

cornier

than her

wait, what are you humming?

and he said, The Dreaming, like the song - i was so impressed! ;P

anyway, i'm getting really into Constellation of the Heart.

it seems like this really fun song that could have been played in a video arcade in like 1989.

"ban ramzi awn"

on this thread i started today. i didn't even say a mean word to anyone. what's wrong with people? why do mean people exist? i was so excited too, cuz it was my first successful thread. got a lot of responses.

oh my!!! poor me. on a music-related note, this album is still tops.

very Fall.

very Fall.

Haha apparently -- I just put this on for the first time in like 15 years! (Then searched for thread.)

Holy shit it's only five albums ago*, but it just dawned on me that in a moment this thing is thirty years old!

*) Counting Aerial as "current". Lol bushtime. :)

thirty! aahhh!

i like this better than all her records except for the dreaming

sad to see geir more on the money on this than estie buttez, rip

GREAT headphone/earbud album. Delius into Blow Away is masterful. Then hang around for the rest... This girl was channeling some real olde tyme witchy energy as a youth, I'm certain.

Lovely thread. I feel I should put this on today, but I'm at one of kate's opposites on the musical wheel right now.

What is that weeping half-synth-half-guitar noise that's all over Egypt? It makes me sit up and take notice every time I hear it and I have never heard it on any other record ever.

i assumed it was some monophonic synth sound, but not sure exactly

Minimoog according to Discogs. Also a Prophet-5 on it but pretty sure that's deployed in the coda.

This is totally classic. Don't forget to mix Blow Away for Bill with Night Scented Stock, because they do indeed sync perfectly.

* sync the intro of blow away with Night sceneted stock as they produce harmonies that mesh
