well this album art won't convert any of the 'Kate's artwork sucks' mob from upthread.

This will be a treat in winter, unless it's a grave disappointment. I'm optimistic though.

Two albums in one year from KB can only mean she's getting everything out before the 2012 apocalypse.
For many years, Stewart Avon Arnold has enjoyed intense conversations with Bush about a range of spiritual and philosophical matters. "We talk about different philosophies on the phone for hours," says Arnold. "She mentions karma a lot, and reincarnation, and witchcraft and paganism and Buddhism. We always end up in these conversations about life in general and spiritual life in particular. Both of us have a fascination about spiritual life; we used to question each other and we still do. She'll phone me and say, 'What do you think about this, Stewart?' It always comes down to the spiritual questions in life, Man's place on the planet and what we're doing to it. The other thing that I talk about with Kate is The End of Days. Not Revelation, because neither of us believe in the Bible as such, but in terms of what Nostradamus was saying about 2012. The Hopi Indians, too. We're in for a global meltdown of some kind, the planet will change drastically in the next 10, 15 years. That's something Kate and I talk about quite a lot."

Then why didn't she contribute ANY songs to the 2012 soundtrack?

'50 words for snow' is just the sort of boring subject I can imagine him jibbering on about tbh.
― Geirge Hongriot (NickB), Friday, 16 September 2011 08:54 (twelve years ago) link
I'm sure he's already done a 50 point penalty for someone saying there were 50 words for snow in the Eskimo languge.
Although, looking at Wiki, it seems it's not exactly a fallacy as such: There's certainly a lot of words for Rain in the eng lang.

only just listening to Director's Cut, the "Deeper Understanding" rework is absolutely brilliant.

Is the Deeper Understanding rework the one with the robot voice? I thought I was the only person in the world who liked that.

made me want a whole album of autotuned Kate Bush tbh, but i think i might just be trolling
― Dios mio! This kid is FUN to hit! (Noodle Vague), Friday, 23 September 2011 13:13 (twelve years ago) link

Can't stand that autotune. She damn well steer clear of that on the new album... :-/
― 'Main Shop of Love' Gigolo (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 23 September 2011 13:25 (twelve years ago) link
But what do we expect? Big changes, like from Never for Ever to The Dreaming or just a continuation of the sensual, laid back and smooth sound of Aerial and Director's Cut? It has been stated that the new one has been recorded at the same time as Director's Cut. Also, the tracks on the new one seem fairly long. All music, or minutes upon minutes of falling snow and the crunchy sound of people walking in it? I have to admit I'm a bit fearful.
― Sebastian (Royal Mermaid Mover), Friday, 23 September 2011 13:41 (twelve years ago) link
i'm the other guy.isn't the autotuned voice her son?
― Dudley Daigle: Tugboat Captain (forksclovetofu), Friday, 23 September 2011 13:43 (twelve years ago) link
It's an old-fashioned vocoder rather than autotune, right?
― Matt DC, Friday, 23 September 2011 13:44 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know what to expect Sebastian, but the prospect of 7 songs in 65 minutes makes me highly anticipate it!
― 'Main Shop of Love' Gigolo (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 23 September 2011 14:09 (twelve years ago) link
More or less than the Lou Reed/Metallica? Because that is the gold standard of anticipation.

Kate already went ambient with the new version of This Woman's Work, so yeah, using the sound of snow as main musical texture could be the next logical step.

for me, kate bush has always been about challenging my aesthetics, but god damn that cover..
― jeff tWEEDy (diamonddave85), Friday, 23 September 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
It's not too big a change from what I though was a pretty boring one for Aerial
Never liked Kate Bush album-art, honestly (but I adore her despite)... think I actually posted about it upthread.

New single is pretty interested and bodes well for the album after disappointment of Director's Cut. Sounds fairly Dreaming era arrangement wise. Sad to hear her voice is slightly diminishing in it's power nowadays though.
