And even then it wasn't 'shrill' on every track - listen to the sumptuous 'The Saxophone Song' for example.

There are so many songs I love. Wuthering Heights will always be a classic. I LOVE Aerial and Prologue on Disc 2 of Aerial. WOW and Moving are both great too... Hell, I could list pretty much all her songs. lol. A work mate pointed me towards a song called "Free" by a woman called Natalia Kills. He told me to listen to it and see who it reminded me of... Low and behold, it samples Wuthering Heights!!! The song isn't released yet but it is on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrC5FTddYa4 Its the Piano playing in the backround. I quite like chorus but purely because I think of Kate. lol |

Lily clip up properly now after the false start the other day (don't know why they didn't just leave it public and done with it).

I like the clip from Lily - suitably bonkers for Kate.

I'm not liking this project at all, every clip just seems to get worse. She just appears to be defacing her work with crude interjections and clumsy attempts at sounding more contemporary. And for someone who prides themselves on production these sound awfully ropey. I just hope the new stuff will be nothing like this.

It's fine, but there was nothing wrong with the original.

![]() i love the original, can't really tell from the clip if the reworked (from joyce's text) lyrics will work for me but we are now hearing how the song was meant to sound...that interests me! i just hope the church bells at the begining remain. |

I find it really odd that NME are the first to come up with a review for the album and have a strong feeling they've just cobbled one together from the album clips that were floating around on the net last week.
i'm not big on reviews anyway, prefer to make my own mind up. |

Her album preview sessions with recent releases have become as legendary as her music - so this just doesn't ring true at all.

A short DC review from Q magazine as posted by menju56 on the Homeground forum (thanks): Quote:
Originally Posted by menju56 on Homeground forum
Q Magazine 4-star review (June 2011 issue) The June 2011 issue of Q magazine has a 4-star review of Director's Cut, accompanied by the Eisenstein-inspired photo. Have typed it up: KATE BUSH Director's Cut Fish People/EMI. Vinyl/CD/Download/ Out 16 May. Songs from the siren: cinematic return from pop's grand dame Kate Bush has long been the ultimate pin-up for those who equate artistry with struggle; the urge for public expression with a Greta Garbo-like need for privacy. In the people's imagination, she remains the kohl-eyed Cathy of Wuthering Heights, a star of 19 whose 12-year retreat from society's gaze following 1993's The Red Shoes cast her as a reclusive new-romantic Miss Havisham, an image wholly at odds with the more prosaic reality (since the birth of her son in 1998, Bush has been quietly raising a family in suburbia outside London). However, even for this most unpredictable of artists, the follow-up to 2005's Aerial is a creative curveball. A reworking of 11 tracks from 1989's The Sensual World and The Red Shoes, each with a brand new vocal, it seems a curious move for an artist who has made a virtue of never looking back (her solitary greatest hits album, The Whole Story, was released in 1986). Director's Cut succeeds, however, by axing the star cameos (The Red Shoes originally included contributions from Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Nigel Kennedy) and thrusting some of her most powerful songs back into the spotlight. The Red Shoes itself is transformed from overblown Gypsy stomp to a frantic Celtic jig, Bush growling "I'm gonna dance!" amidst ecstatic whoops and penny whistles, while Lily benefits from a percussive, bass-heavy revamp, the singer's spooked invocations building to a wordless scream. Throughout, time is used as a mechanism with which to add gravitas. So, Moments Of Pleasure morphs from melancholic lament to a piano-based hymnal on lost love(s), while a six-minute This Woman's Work is now glacial to the point of numbness - grief in musical form. There's a sense of Bush reminding us of her witch-like qualities, too. A reworking of 1989's Deeper Understanding, where she intones: "I turn to my computer / And spend my evenings with it like a friend," is eerily prescient in a country now boasting 30 million Facebook users, while a languorous Flower Of The Mountain (formerly The Sensual World) comes with an added sauciness courtesy of an extract from Ulysses. Breathless versions of Never Be Mine and Top Of The City, meanwhile, make the originals seem bloated; now more Sofia Coppola than Francis Ford. Can Bush be making a late case for the reclamation of her kooky crown, currently in the possession of Florence Welch? A raunchy, Stones-inspired reworking of Rubberband Girl suggests, at 52, she's as spry as ever. Whichever way you look at it, though, Director's Cut isn't a new masterpiece from pop's most enigmatic auteur. Those keen to experience Kate uncut, however, should book their seats immediately.

Now I've seen the full tracklisting for Directors Cut, I cant wait! Im really intruiged to hear how shes remodelled The Sensual World & particularly Never Be Mine they are my fav tracks from my fav KB album. How can she improve on them?! I do remember at the time of TSW release, she couldnt get permission from Joyce's estate to use her prose, whereas now it looks like a deal has been struck. Song Of Solomon is another Im intruiged by too.
