Hey ya,

I know there's more than one Kate Bush fan on these forums- I saw the music vid the other day- anyone else heard it yet?

An official press release from her unnoficial site:

/Kate's new album AERIAL will be released on November 7th. Kate's new single KING OF THE MOUNTAIN was released on October 24th. Both the single and album are produced by Kate.
Kate says: "I'm so pleased with everyone's work on this record. There are some lovely performances and I hope you will all feel it's been worth the wait. Bertie keeps me very busy, he is so much fun".
Known contributors to the new album include Mick Karn (he says he played bass on 'How To Be Invisible'), drummer Stuart Elliott and jazz percussionist Peter Erskine.
The late Michael Kamen wrote the string arrangements for two tracks which will appear on the new album - she recorded what she has described as "some beautiful orchestral movements" with him and the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road in October 2003.
Chris Hall has played accordion on one track. Classical musicians Emma Murphy and Susanna Pell have also recorded for the album. Del Palmer is said to be engineering.
Kate had her new recording studio serviced and upgraded and started recording in late 1999. On May 23rd 2002 Kate received the Ivor Novello award for Outstanding Contribution To British Music By A Songwriter. Kate appeared live for the first time in almost 15 years singing Comfortably Numb as David Gilmour's special guest at his Royal Festival Hall concert on January 18th 2002.
Kate won the Best Classic Songwriter award at the 12th Annual Q Magazine awards on 29th October 2001. In an interview in December 2001 a happy Kate talked about progress on the new album and her happiness with her son Bertie. After receiving a standing ovation at the Q Awards she said: "This is just great, I am making an album but it is just taking a little longer than I thought and I have been having a great time with my son."
