Why? Well, The Kick Inside is her first album and contains some really good stuff. Wuthering Heights, The Man with the Child in His Eyes, Moving, I could go on...the music on this album is more piano oriented, less of the synth/fairlight stuff which is more prevalent on later recordings. She also sings in the higher registers on this album (Happy Rhodes when singing very high sounds like Kate Bush). The Dreaming is her most experimental album and if I had to pick a best song it would be difficult. The whole album is great but I have heard that it takes getting used to. She experiments with her voice and with instruments to produce some fascinating and powerful songs ranging from stories about the Vietnam War (Pull Out the Pin), expressions of violence (Get Out of My House, Leave it Open) and of course the song for which this board is named, Suspended in Gaffa. The songs on this album are more story-oriented than on the first album. The Hounds of Love is one of my favorites. It is the first thing by her that I bought and is divided into two sections: The Hounds of Love and The Ninth Wave, the latter being a conceptual piece about a woman is spending the night alone in the water waiting to be saved. I didn't realize this when I bought the album but the songs fascinated me nonetheless. Her music is very evocative and the way she uses her voice and other voices, the instruments and the stories she tells are truly unique. There seems to be some gushing (bleh) enthusiasm here but I have heard that she is finally releasing another album and I am looking forward to it.:-) to date, Happy Rhodes and Kate Bush are the most interesting, innovative, whatever vocalists/songwriters I have heard in a long time. They also comprise the bulk of my music collection. -Quenby >bear. ======================================================================== Date: 30 Jun 1993 15:37:23 -0400 (EDT) From: "she listens like her head's on fire.."

This reminds me of something... actually two things: Back when I was living in the Livingston dorms, (the infamous Quad 3), a friend of mine had a roommate whose mind, by his junior year, had a very high mushroom quotient, and who wasn't too well in sync with consensus reality. Anyway, one day, Hank and I were listening to this record of an Israeli band, the Parvarim, singing Simon and Garfunkel songs in Hebrew. The roommate (whose name escapes me) wandered in sat around a while, hearing the record and us singing along with it, and said "There's something weird about this record. What is this?". We, straight-faced, handed him the cover to S&G's "Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme". He looked at it, listened, looked at it again, shook his head, and said "Something weird's going on", then wandered out. We waited until he was out of the building before cracking up in hysterical laughter. The other thing: I remember an article about Tolkein saying that the night view along the Turnpike was the closest thing to a view of Mordor. ======================================================================== From: boek@mullian.ee.mu.oz.au (Christopher Boek) Subject: Re: Holland, Here I come ...

WOW. !!! it really blew me away, completely. within a week i also owned _never forever_ and then, gosh-wow, _hounds of love_ came out (special marblized vinyl edition :> ). and this girl i was in love with came over and i played kate for her and she hated it (but then she bought HoL the next day and listened to it non-stop for 3 months). so i'd recommend the dreaming or hounds of love (especially if the happy tracks that you like best are her less-commercial sounding ones (i realize that this is all relative, and that nothing happy has sounds commercial next to, say, janet jackson or bruce springsteen) or gabriel's _security_ album). save _the sensual world_ for last, as it is the only album with a *bad* kate bush song on it (i suppose that some people like "deeper understanding", but i don't). or you could get _the whole story_, which is a best-of collection. but you won't listen to it much in another 2 months when you own all her albums... :) brni > >tia! >ttfn, >bear. > ======================================================================== Date: Thu, 1 Jul 93 01:11:31 EDT From: mojzes@monet.rutgers.edu (brni) Subject: dino, eb, msg, km, and even happy is mentioned!!! hi all lessee, i saw jurassic park on sunday. way cool movie. the book is better. if speilburg had spent more time developing the plot and subplots and giving some of the huge amounts of info that the book presents, and less time having people gawking at dino and promoting family values, it would have been an even better flick. the book had holland as a sort of ronald reagan sorta guy, powerful, idealistic to the point of not caring who got hurt in the process, well-meaning but misguided, and senile. in the movie he was more like col. sanders. ah well. a friend of mine also pointed out something about the people who get killed in the movie (the fat slob, the black guy who smoked too much, the lawyer) as opposed to those who live (the mommie and daddy to be, the kindly grandpa, the kids). but it sure sells lotsa lunch boxes.

The album contains 15 songs (72 mins!) from various artists who influenced Peter's work on US. Some of them are taken from released albums, others are previously unreleased. The sound quality is fantastic. But the most interesting thing is that it can obviously be heard, where Gabriel derived his ideas from and which artist played which part on US. ok, US isn't a CHEAP transfer, but I like each song from +US better than most of the songs from US. What I'd like to hear next is the PURE Gabriel again and not another I-invited-lots-of-musicians-from-all-parts-of-the-world-and-gathered- them-together-in-my-studio-for-weeks-to-play-sessions-over-and-over- and-finally-I-dubbed-my-voice-album.

I've only had a chance to speak to her once yet, and she sounded a wee bit frazzled, what with the minor details of having to get settled in enough to start work, needing to find an appartment, and needing to find her way around a major metropolitan area all at the same time.

Also, I may have a desire to hear "The Man With a Child in His Eyes" and "Cloudbustin'", but not enough time to play both albums. By the way, I was introduced first to The Dreaming, liked it, but wasn't hooked. When I bought my first CD player, I bought a bunch of cd's so I could have something to play on it. One of these was The Whole Story. It was hearing "The Man With a Child..." that turned me into the zealot that I am, so I would recommend either The Whole Story or The Kick Inside.
