A very special artist

Everybody remembers what he was doing when he first heard "Wuthering Heights". I was about 18 at the time (she is a year older than I), it was winter and I looked the snow through the windows. Suddenly I heard a very strange sound coming from the radio. The song was amazing and I immediately loved it.... I really love the three first alben, very melodic. From "The Dreaming" and on, I love some and others less.... To my knowledge there aren't many biographies written about Kate Bush. This book is interesting and one learns a lot about this artist. Chronologically shaped, we travel through the eighties,nineties until Aerial, her last album up today. Many topics are covered as the way she writes songs, produces them, the instruments she uses, her relationship with others artists and groups, her performances on stage with elaborate choreographies,.... Kate Bush has fans accross a wide spectrum of society. She is the UK's greatest ever female songwriting talent and a very good-looking woman. She is a complicated person, just like everybody else. She likes the old-time comedian Will Hay as well as Captain Beefheart and supersoaps such as Dallas as much as the admires the surreal artist Salvator Dali. Quite a combination. This volume isn't trying to find any closeted skeletons, make any wide-of-the-mark accusation or reveal where her son goes to school. Here you will find a detailed look at her life and career. The author has spoken with a wide range of producers, engineers and musicians. Highly recommended for Kate's fans and curious who want to discover a very creative artist.

Oh...to be in love!

I am a Kate Bush fanatic, I am in love with the woman and I admire her music...yet I knew so little about her career. It was hard for me to learn as much about her as I desired, until I read Kate Bush: The Biography. It covers everything from her childhood to her latest release, "Aereal". It touches on what goes into the creation of her music, and has plenty of interview snippets from Kate. This was such a satisfying read for me, a window into such an enigmatic artist. Great storytelling!
