New Kate Bush album ????

[A.K1976]

I seem to recall a couple of years ago Kate Bush saying work was well under way on a new album, have I missed its release or something ?

This is what I found:

Latest Official News, August 24th 2003

According to musician friends of Kate she is still busily recording her eighth studio album and is said to be "happy and full of
energy". In a recent Mojo magazine feature her business manager was asked when the new album might be released, the reply
was "how long is a piece of string?". Known contributors to the new album include Mick Karn (said to have played bass on a
track called 'How To Be Invisible'), Stuart Elliott and jazz percussionist Peter Erskine. Del Palmer is said to be engineering. Kate has had her new recording studio serviced and upgraded and was said to have started recording in late 1999.
On May 23rd 2002 Kate received the Ivor Novello award for Outstanding Contribution To British Music By A Songwriter.
Kate appeared live for the first time in almost 15 years singing Comfortably Numb as David Gilmour's special guest at his Royal
Festival Hall concert on January 18th 2002.

Kate won the Best Classic Songwriter award at the 12th Annual Q Magazine awards on 29th October 2001. In an interview in December 2001 a happy Kate talked about progress on the new album and her happiness with her son Bertie. After receiving a standing ovation at the Q Awards she said: "This is just great, I am making an album but it is just taking a little longer than I thought and I have been having a great time with my son." We warmly congratulate Kate on all the recent awards and recognition from her industry peers! EMI still plan to release remastered and repackaged CDs of the remainder of Kate's album catalogue as with 1997's Hounds Of Love reissue. The CDs will have new packaging and photos and extra tracks. The initial release schedule has "slipped", but EMI are hoping that the reissues will pave the way for the release of Kate's eighth studio album. This site will have all and any updates on the new album and the reissues as they come in, so hang in there!

Something to look forward to, along the new Morrissey album.


I also read Placebo have done a cover of 'Running Up That Hill"
(with no problems). should be interesting.

It's on the Special Edition of "Sleeping With Ghosts" (which includes a bonus CD of cover versions - see http://www6.cdwow.ie/detail_results.php?product_code=4584 ) They've also done "Bigmouth Strikes Again."

Yes, the Bigmouth cover is old and the Kate Bush cover is a new one,
so I haven't heard it yet. interesting song to cover.
