It's been 12 years since Kate Bush recorded an album, but with her 2-CD release
Aerial, she shows she lost none of the magic. The first disc, subtitled "A Sea of Honey," contains songs about how life affects different people. These include themes about celebrity ("King of the Mountain"), Joan of Arc ("Joanni"), and her son ("Bertie"). The second CD, subtitled "A Sky of Honey," is more of an ethereal album, follows the course of day through the eyes of nature and birds. If you're a fan of Tori Amos or Sarah McLachlan and don't know Kate Bush's music, it's time to discover the artist who paved the path for them. The Observer says about
Aerial: "It is extraordinary - jaw-dropping, no less. It's also tearjerking, laugh-out-loud funny, infuriating, elegiac, baffling, superb and not always all that great."
CD released November 8, 2005.
