MOJO has published a complete review of the career of Kate Bush, taking advantage of the release of "Director's Cut", the "new" album Kate. I put in quotes because it is not more than eleven repaired songs of their albums, "The Red Shoes and The Sensual World."
Kate, so reluctant to re-mastered compilations or reissues of his records, has worked to fix the cracks of songs for her were flawed and the result, according to the magazine, has been uneven. Antony Hegarty
involved in this story recalling that it is the song that has marked all the vast repertoire of Bush.
Note: Data more than curious that says Antony. Kate Bush never played live. I agree with him that Kate's music is to listen in strict isolation and, if possible, with headphones.
"It's actually really hard to choose one Kate Bush song, there are so many I love, but "The kick inside" is a truly great song. I first heard it when I was a 7-year-old kid, living in Holland, and it, and the album (The kick inside, 1978), were esentially the soundtrack to my late childhood. What first impressed me about the song was this magical, interpretive, otherworldly quality; there was theatricality to it and a tremendous sense of self-possesion. There was an obvious value in creativity to it, too; that meant a lot to me in terms of an approach to the world.
As a listener you have a very solitary, intimate relationship with Kate's music; it's something that stays in the bedroom and the living room, something you experience with headphones on. It was never a communal experience. Her songwriting has this helpful, restoraitive quality, a kind of feminine wholesomeness, a helpfulness. That's not something you can say about a lot of artists. She's definitely been a huge influence on me. Of course, she doesn't play live, and my experience was mostly gained as a live performer, so we're very different, but I relate to her as an artist and to her whole approach to the work. She's great!"
