This is what you do all day at work? Put your fingers in your ears?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I wasn't talking about Directors Cut Dean, she's working on really new material as well but doesn't know when it will be released.

Interesting interview (despite bizarre talk of bonemeal) but don't hold your breath for the new album.

I'm looking forward to hearing Director's Cut in it's entirety. However, I would hope she releases an album of new material in the not too distant future. I have never been a great fan of Sensual World or The Red Shoes. Re-working them may give a new perspective in the positive vain of things....

Agreed. Aerial was a brilliant comeback album.

I think that Kate is not interested in doing "songs" for the sake of radio and fame and what not.

I think she will have an album when it's there and not before ... she probably has enough material for 10 albums, that we won't ever hear ... but ... I don't think of her as one of those artists that feel they have to go on the road to sing and prove themselves ... she has already proven to herself anything that she has possibly wanted as an artist.

If she retired tomorrow, I would still think that she was fantastic!

Good job really as she hasn't performed live (as a solo artist) for 30 years.

KB is very much a one off. I think we can all grasp that tbh.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Singer Kate Bush has been given the green light to use text from James Joyce's Ulysses in a song - more than 20 years after first requesting it.

The reclusive performer had wanted to use the words of Joyce's character Molly Bloom for the title track of her 1989 album The Sensual World.

But she was refused and had to write her own lyrics for the track.

Now Bush, 52, has re-recorded the song - renamed Flower of the Mountain - with Joyce's own words.

"I am delighted I have had the chance to fulfil the original concept," she said.

The track will be included in Bush's forthcoming album Director's Cut, a collection of reworked songs from her Sensual World and Red Shoes albums.

"When I came to work on this project I thought I would ask for permission again and this time they said yes," she added.

Another track from The Sensual World, Deeper Understanding, now features the voice of her son Albert and is being released as a single.

I actually listened to the entire song on youtube without realizing I had an IDM on in winamp. It was interesting, surely.

My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

"odious" is going a bit far. I must admit I'm not sure about the "autotuned" chorus at the moment, it's lost the haunting quality of the Trio Bulgara. Need to give it a few more listens.

“Then sometimes it’s very frustrating that I’m portrayed in such a strange way,” she says, “When people who go on television and eat live insects and spend three weeks up a tree with a camera stuck up their nose are considered normal. I’m sorry but from where I sit I’m the normal person.”
