Early Snippets of Kate Bush's album !

THIS VIDEO WILL NOT WORK IN THE UK apparently -- so sorry for that. :)

As this leaked from iTunes Canada, these 30-second snippets aren't of any amazing quality, but...still, here they all are!

I almost fell out of my seat when I first heard these :blob2:

It seems like she's going for a more live sound, which is interesting.....Tour of Life 2?

As for the songs, "Flower of the Mountain" will either be amazing or very odd, and based on this clip, it's sort of hard to tell.

Country version of Rubberband Girl is so exciting!

Moments of Pleaure + This Woman's Work + Never Be Mine + Top of the City......they're absolutely gorgeous.

After hearing all this, I'm definitely most excited to hear Lily. The spoken part is louder at the start and I LOVE the guitar and the vocals.

This is just too much! May is going to be one hell of a month!!!

I'm in the US and it says KateBushMusic has blocked it on copyright grounds, but the last song clip in the 3rd post here plays them all. http://thehomegroundandkatebushnewsandinfoforum.yuku.com/topic/19101/Director-s-Cut-Promotional-Audio-Visual-Archive

Her deep voice in the first clip almost knocked me over :shocked: so amazing. It's getting harder and harder to wait for this album. O___O

All songs sound even better than they did before! Simply amazing!

There's something refreshingly raw about these re-takes, almost as if they were demos. And I must say I was quite shocked at the new version of "This Woman's Work;" her voice has changed so much! It's a deeper, richer tone. Love. I'm so loving the fact that she's working on a new album too and that she has started her own record label; it means she may finally be motivated to be more prolific.

Well, she could hardly be less! :)

I do think that now Bertie is a teen, she will have more time and more desire to create. This is something that she and Bertie can (and have) done together, and if it's something he desires to do in his future, then she'll want to give him every experience of it. He's on two tracks of DC that we know of...who knows...motherhood once pulled Kate out of the loop and now B's adolescence may put her back in. :)

I'm still disappointed that there will be four reissues (only one of which appears to be remastered) accompanying the "new" album since it raises the question of why she bothered doing all of this rather than pursuing all-new material. But I am hopeful that this felt like unfinished business to her and that she really is working on a new album.

Hopeful, hopeful, waiting, waiting. A Kate Bush fan's mantra.

Hopeful, hopeful, waiting, waiting. A Kate Bush fan's mantra.

You know, it sucks to be a fan of Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks and Peter Gabriel- probably my three favorite artists. You have no choice but to learn to hope and wait and wait and wait and wait... :distress: Between the three of them, they released three albums in the 2000's.

A bit more of "Flower Of The Mountain" has been released...
