I still prefer the sensual world to the flower of the mountain rework but everything else stands out as good alternatives to the originals.
I love this woman's work and the new sparseness of it. Love never be mine and especially love rubberband girl, I think kate stood up to the mike their after a few vodkas:) but I love how it feels as if it was done in one take.
I love the second half of deeper understanding, as in the bit beyond the single version.
Lily and the red shoes definitely benefit from the reworking.
I still have loads of time for the originals but directors cut hit the right chord with me.
I still havent got Directors Cut....may treat myself to it eventually .
Aerial i have been replaying a lot recently...i adore that it feels like two individual albums in one...such a clever idea i wish more artists utilised too...creatively it is so beautiful and epic in scope...in so many ways i did wish she toured with the material...but alas, they are for performances in the mind.

I've been playing A Sky of Honey a lot lately, it's breathes a bit of sunshine into a drab February morning on the train to uni.
Nocturn is my favourite, it's a little symphony building up into a great crescendo.
I'm not getting too over-excited the demand for this will so huge, it's an events even non-fans will want tickets just to say they were there, so it's good news but at the same time I'm being pragmatic.
I'm happy to get excited, even if I don't get a ticket there will be merchandise and or live cd/video of the dates. Kate is being creative, there is kate activity. Pretty exciting to me a massive fan of her material from the beginning!
My hope is that people are just accepting of kate as she is now and hope they don't expect the leotarded kate of mime and dance. You can bet she has a decent show planned, however acoustic or stripped back it might be, as I doubt she'd be doing it otherwise:)
I'm definitely not expecting any leaping around the stage, I expect it will be a more pared down performance but will still be brilliant and memorable. I think my hands will be shaking while trying to order tickets as surely there will be a huge surge as the ticket office opens.
Hey digit, long time - yeah that's sods law - I was going to buy both books this pay day, tickets will have to be priority now tho'!
Hey zounds, yep tickets will be a priority here too but I've been waiting for the Anthology since they teased us god knows how long back !
I might have to air the secret credit card:D
Anyone expecting any special guests on duets and such like ?
I'm still trying to get my head round Kate let alone guests:)
I'm putting together my perfect set list in my head though !
I'm wondering if the life jacket photos and title of the concerts should make us think ninth wave on purpose?
I know there is so much swirling around I just had a thought after thinking of all the music still un-played, and it struck me Elton John, after this announcement anything could indeed be possible

As for Aerial, A sky Of Honey is such a beautiful album encapsulates summer greatly, wonder what season she will tackle next

It's certainly a great day for KB fans:)

I'm still trying to get my head round Kate let alone guests:)

I need a lie down in a darkened room, that prospect has given me palpitations:D
