The Sensual World (CD)

With her swooping, dramatic voice, second-wave art rocker Kate Bush was a major influence on a generation of rocking sopranos like Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. The multi-talented Bush had her first No. 1 hit in Britain ("Wuthering Heights") while she was still a teenager. With each new record, she took more chances, and the spirit of experimentation led to her breakthrough work, 1985's HOUNDS OF LOVE. An incredibly diverse set, it featured everything from epic, beat-driven rock to Celtic folk and experimental sound collage.

THE SENSUAL WORLD will appeal to those who like their pop seasoned with some world music. During the '80s, some of Kate Bush's most successful collaborations were those with Peter Gabriel ("Games Without Frontiers," "Don't Give Up"), and Gabriel's habit of appropriating world music must have certainly rubbed off. THE SENSUAL WORLD combines the best of Kate Bush's jazzier elements with contributions by some of the most accomplished musicians in the world. Featured artists include violinist Nigel Kennedy, Davey Spillane, Trio Bulgarka, Eberhard Weber, and her brother, multi-instrumentalist Paddy Bush.

THE SENSUAL WORLD covers familiar Kate Bush territory--love, growing up, and the mystery of life. Kate produced THE SENSUAL WORLD with orchestra arrangements by Michael Kamen. Standout tracks include the title track, which was adapted from Joyce's ULYSSES, as well as "Love and Anger" and "Walk Straight Down the Middle." An added treat is "This Woman's Work," a song featured in John Hughes' movie SHE'S HAVING A BABY. A commercially ignored CD from an unusually talented performer.
