i will put 50 Words Of SNow back on my ipod tomorrow....need a refreshing listen soon i think, only played it once so far :-O oh my lawwwd!!

Im embarassed to say i aint even reviewed it yet....but it is very conceptualised so will need time with it .

It's not to conceptualised lol just about snow and snow related snow things my main issue is the lack of variation over such a long disc i mean a sky of honey was long but had a lightness and varied feel to it.

YES!! i remember across 2006 Confessions On A Dance Floor, Demon Days and Aerial on repeat all the way throgh the year

this was my initial reaction but after many hundreds of listens to the wholw album it really unfurls with a depth that belies the cold sparsity the fisrt few listens give.
theres only the EJ duet that i can happily skip now and then.
i love how she hits a bum note at the beginning of among angels and says sorry. according to Del Palmer she lay the piano for lake tahoe down in one sitting.

yep...its best listened to very loud through headphones, a dark room and empty mind also opens the whole album up. eek, am i coming across a little weirdo here

Yes her successive albums during the noughties have needed repeated listens to unveil and reveal themselves more than her earlier albums even hounds my favourite was an instantaneous love

And yes JP although cannot remember 2005 much lol 06 yes lily allen aplenty

my Kate vibe tonight is....

hounds of love alternative

I never knew there was an alternative to Hounds which coincidentally is my favourite song of hers.

And i have to be honest some songs on DC sound better than the original i even now prefer the alternate never be mine to the original lol.

I'm determined to keep this thread from slipping under the radar again i must discuss Kate

So everyone's Favourite and least favourite Kate masterpiece.

Favourite:
Hounds Of Love simply as it perfectly encapsulates her genius from being the mistress of great pop anthems to the left field avant garde experimentalism.

Least Favourite:
The Red Shoes an album by any other hand would have been regarded as a masterpiece as it stands a rather dull uninspired effort from Kate she can do so much more the only blip in an otherwise perfect pop catalogue.

Hounds Of Love, The Dreaming, Never For Ever and Aerial are among my Favorite albums ever!

My dad had Never For Ever on a vinyl (got them all in bags in my room) and HOL on a cassette....like i said we have all music goin in my house which is why my taste is so wide and massive

So yeah impossible to choose between them but these albums pad out my top 25 albums of all time ever!

I bought never for ever on Vinyl for something ridiculously cheap its in my room been meaning to collect more i was in Edinburgh and they had a load in an oxfam but i didn't pick them up fool i am

And yes Hounds is surprisingly only my second fave album of all time

The Dreaming, The Kick Inside, Hounds of Love & Aerial are my faves but I love all of her stuff, amazing she is.

My top four too

Hounds of love outright though as its her in a nutshell same with Aerial but love the dreaming as it is jut so crazy like her on an acid trip just coming out with left field ideas and recording them lol

there isn't an album i don't like, only the odd song i will sometimes skip.
my favourite albums would be never for ever, the dreaming, hounds, aeriel and fifty words.
i always feel lost for words when i try to explain Kate's talent.....it really is quite remarkable when you look at her work and see just how many masterpieces are in there.

I still dont have The Red Shoes. ANd still warming to 50 Words Of Snow...havent played Lionheart for a while.

But damn i do agree how she has kept it up with her musical legacy.

Amazing showcases! Just theatrical immenseness per disc

Oh totally she is miles ahead of her contemporaries and in the way in which she works has unwittingly chnaged not just the pop landscape but the music industry for women thanks to her we have Alison Goldfrapp, Florence, Ellie, Tori, Bjork, Bat for lashes to name but a few.

The arguments i have had trying to explain this to people who perceive her as a pretentious weirdo

And yes The Red Shoes just can't only album of her's which sits gathering dust and perhaps DC which i found unnecessary and am adamant its a compilation even though Flower of the mountain, Never been mine, And this womans work are great

As i have said JP the red shoes buy it its not a bad album just considering the rest is weak and somewhat dull it was meant to be performed live hence the more rock oriented sound but im still waiting

big stripey lie
one of the stand outs from the red shoes.....

All young gentle dreams drowning
In life's grief ....

another example of Kates ability to paint a million pictures with a few simple words.

Washing Machine, Washing Machine even the ridiculous can sound brilliant in her hands.

The Red Shoes standouts for me would be And So Is Love, Eat The Music, Lily, Moments Of pleasure, Why Should I Love you the rest i can leave

i always thought that constellation of the heart was a great pop song and reckon it would have been a massive hit had it been released as a single!
also, how did you get on with the alternative hounds of love? hope you liked it

I think another point yes the more upbeat songs on the album really lift it out of the mire and from being seriously weak i also do like The line the cross and the curve concept with the videos

And i did it doesn't beat the original but still amazing currently trailing through the b-sides which are of course just as incredible

No hope of getting one of these then.

Wow they look amazing how do u get your hands on them.

And i remember her doing the Pink Vinyl hounds of love for record day cant remember when though

Totally bagged myself an original kick inside LP from oxfam my Vinyl collection shaping up nicely

Officially a fan as of last week

I watched her Tour which was amazing. Watched her xmas special she did which was epic
Watched two documentaries she did for her tour and a gig she did in Germany and they were amazing

I am officially a fan and loving it
