Hi all. I've only just discovered this site and because of it, the idea that we may hear Kate's magic again. Here's my discovery story:
It was the mid-80's and I was finishing college. One night I had a phone call from a distant acquaintance whom I hadn't heard from or thought of in ages. He told me that he felt strange calling me, but he had the feeling that he had to. He told me that he had heard a weird and wonderful artist to whom he could not listen without thinking of me, and wondering whether I knew her work. Living as I do in the wilds of Alabama, I had never heard the name Kate Bush, but he was so insistent that I went to the record store that weekend and picked up her new release, Hounds of Love. From that moment, every extra dime that I could scrounge went toward buying her albums. For the first time in my life, I experienced music that seemed to come directly from my own heart and not from some strange musician. It was like a spiritual gnosis that I had never known before, and only knew again when Bjork made her Debut.
