i love how Delius and Blow Away sound like you're in some kind of tropical rainforest... she likes to throw those in every now and then, right? Morning Fog, An Architect's Dream - that song on The Kick Inside near the end?...

it's cute

Posting here just to reclaim this thread after seven (!) posts in a row by Ramzi. :)

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... :)

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 6 October 2006 23:49 (seventeen years ago) link

haha thanks geir, i was getting lonely.

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

I feel your loneliness Ramzi. I'm fortunate enough to have a bunch of friends on another board that have allowed me to post ad infinitum on any musical topic I choose. They got sick of me ruining non-musical threads so they set up a forum just for me, it keeps me in line! Yeah I get lonely. But I'm free to post, and in the end, we do have that freedom, we're lucky. Post to your heart's content, I say. I spent about 3 hours posting last Monday night listening to a CD my friend made me of John Peel's Festive 50 radio program from 1983. God that was such a blast. To listen to it, and to post about it at the same time. Who would have thought I would be allowed such a pleasure back when the internet didn't exist?

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.

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

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 7 October 2006 13:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i know but why do i have this idea that he's like

cornier

than her

Ramzi Awn (rra123), Saturday, 7 October 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

i feel like geir and bimble are my ilxor godparents.

Ramzi Awn (rra123), Saturday, 7 October 2006 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Do any of your friends like Kate? Just curious.

Bassment Jacks (Bimble...), Saturday, 7 October 2006 23:40 (seventeen years ago) link

well, it's funny, my boyfriend's friend is the one who got me into her, and his other friends had gotten into her a bit throughout the years. but then, i got into her and i got my friends into her - 3 or 4 friends. so that's impressive right?

Ramzi Awn (rra123), Sunday, 8 October 2006 04:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha. Hell yeah! I remember when I was about...17 years old I found this guy who popped The Dreaming into the cassette player. I was amazed he knew who she was.

Bassment Jacks (Bimble...), Sunday, 8 October 2006 09:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i know! when i first started working at my current workplace, this guy hummed these TWO notes one morning and i was like

wait, what are you humming?

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

Ramzi Awn (rra123), Sunday, 8 October 2006 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

so i'm listening to the red shoes. every now and then i like to stick the red shoes in just cuz it's my least favorite and i play the others too much. i do the same thing with sensual, though i like that one better. and i need to start listening to lionheart more - not that i don't like it, it just seems kind of plain. i mean, for her.

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.

Ramzi Awn (rra123), Monday, 9 October 2006 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Of course, Gabriel's best work was IMO before he started releaseing records under his own name, but his solo albums are still worth checking out too :)

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 9 October 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

some tart just posted

"ban ramzi awn"

Surmounter, Monday, 27 August 2007 23:42 (sixteen years ago) link

Surmounter, Monday, 27 August 2007 23:43 (sixteen years ago) link

two years pass...

very Fall.

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

anatol_merklich, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:41 (fourteen years ago) link

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. :)

anatol_merklich, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 23:04 (fourteen years ago) link

thirty! aahhh!

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.

Bow Before Zeezrom!!! (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 16 April 2010 08:21 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Ismael Klata, Friday, 16 April 2010 08:35 (fourteen years ago) link

three years pass...

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.

Matt DC, Sunday, 6 April 2014 14:41 (ten years ago) link

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

clouds, Sunday, 6 April 2014 16:00 (ten years ago) link

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.

Unchanging Window (Ross), Sunday, 9 July 2017 06:32 (six years ago) link

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