AERIAL

Very nice album. From a guy who saved his money during college so we could go down and buy the next Kate Bush album, this album is a really nice bit of work, and long overdue. Two very strong CDs in this package, and I could easily listen to two more, since they seem to travel so seemlessly together. King of the Mountain is a great introduction to the work; PI is incredible, and just shows how when you have as much talent as Kate does, it doesn't matter what the song's about. Bertie I could have done without, but the rest of the first album just keep getting better as it goes along. The second CD is nicely tied to the whole bird theme, and I find myself at the end of it much too soon. Though her voice does waver a bit in a couple of the songs, Kate has obviously still got it going, and I hope she feels inspired again very soon, as this work is some of her best, and she should strike again while the iron is hot. Thank you Kate.
