Kate Bush - Aerial

best song?

I like Pi, kinda geeky but still awesome.
I prefer disc one (A Sea of Honey) to disc two (A Sky of Honey) but overall a pretty good album with quite a few memorable tunes.
I tried falling asleep to it tonight, but I just want to keep listening its so unique the vocals, lyrics, music, concept its all obscure but it works.

Do you like this album? Which disc is better to you? What's your favorite song? Discuss, please.

I picked up Arial last April and was not disapointed. After listening to Pi I had to replay it over and over a few more times, I love the whole album though. As GR said "a real masterpiece".

A coral room for me. Both discs are excellent, easily her best after Hounsd of love.

got this on Raff's suggestion.. and loved it...

Pi for micky

and a note..... whoever designed the CD sheeve should be shot...  my second disk got scratched when it slid out during one of my high speed right hand turns...

I also prefer Disc One to Disc Two, though I find the whole album a real masterpiece.BTW, as Kate is in Prog-Related, this poll should be moved to the PP/PR Lounge.

I can't make polls in this lounge

I must have forgotten to actually vote, so I'll do it now.

'A sky of Honey' is the best disc IMO, and choosing abest track from that suite is very difficult. I decided on 'Nocturn'but that whole disc is excellent, and I like to listen to it as one piece, like 'The Ninth Wave' from the Hounds of Love album.

I think Aerial is Kates third best album, after Hounds of Love and Never Forver. What a fantastic comeback!

I think it is quite weak in parts, 'Washing Machine' and 'Bertie' are embarrassing to listen to. But that's just me. IMO her best work was back in the early days of her career. However, I quite enjoy the last track, 'Aerial', so I voted for that.

I think the first disc is relativley weak. If she'd released that as the album on its own, it would have ranked alongside Lionheart as her joint worst album. Not terrible just weak. A 2.5 star album perhaps. IMO.

'The Kick Inside' is an excellent album. It's as good a place as any to start.

Her most prog albums are - starting with the most prog - 'The Dreaming' 'Hounds of Love' 'Aerial' and 'Never Forever' ..

IMO..

How do you know the woman has been deserted? I say "Mrs. Bartolozzi" is a song about a woman whose loved one has died, that's why the shirt "looks so alive!"
