AERIAL

Never had I heard before a more or less "pop album" being that excellent as KB's latest Aerial. For me it's beating by far their (in my ears) highly poppy releases "Hounds of love" and "The Sensual World". This work is done with a much higher degree of sensitivity and pretension (meant in a very positive sense). It's just awesome how those natural bird voices had been integrated into the music and actually I've never heard it this way before I listened to this album. And who else than her could sing that emotionally about such a profane thing as a washing machine. What else could I add about this masterly done album that hasn't been said already before by other reviewers? I just can confirm both the compositional quality and performance of all musicians involved here are absolutely excellent and top notch. Aerial is an album that you can spin over and over again without becoming boring what wasn't the case for any release by KB for me. Fully deserved 5 stars (though I'm trying to be mean with that rating in general, but in this case I can't defy it)!
