Indulgence

she's back...

Kate Bush from King of the Mountain (written by Kate Bush)
Could you climb higher and higher?
Could you climb right over the top?

It has been announced. My favourite singer/songwriter/musician has finally announced a release date of her first studio album in 12 years. Kate Bush is back and she's going to rock the world. On November 7, Aerial written and produced by Kate Bush will be hitting shelves and will, hopefully, bring back the glory of this Brit-pop chanteuse to the present generation. The woman who had inspired Bjork, Sarah McLachlan, Coldplay and a whole host of others is back after a 12 year hiatus.

Aerial is a 2 disc concept album where, according to the reviews, Kate Bush shows she still is at the top of her game. Still a masterful musician and songwriter, the reviews talk about melodic, unconventional musical layers and her voice is still fragile, ethereal and other-worldly. The 2 disc Aerial is a concept album. Disc 1 is 7 fantastic Kate Bush songs which includes present new single King of the Mountain and the 2nd disc is more of a 30-minute single that is chopped up into 9 parts. It's an epic piece; a study on harmonics with the elements of water, wind and peace. It's hypnotic and tender and never rushing.

Of course, this is all from the words of other people. I, personally, cannot wait for it's release here in the Philippines and I will certainly make a ruckus if ever it doesn't get released here. I will fight tooth and nail; down to the very last blood, sweat and tear until that album is released here and I can buy a copy.

I've waited 12 years for this. I will not wait another year more!
