["We wait for your move"] Kate Bush fans may be interested to know that a little blurb on along with a little picture of Kate Bush appears in the August 3rd issues of New Musical Express, Record Mirror, and Melody Maker. To save you the trouble and money of running out and buying these, I'll tell you everything they say (which isn't very much) in a moment. I also picked up a back issue of Record Review because it has an article on Bill Nelson, and a back issue of Blitz because it has an article on Jean Michelle Jarre in it. In these articles, Bill Nelson insults Kate Bush and Jarre insults Peter Gabriel! It's really painful when one of your idols insults another one of your idols. I guess idols are only human.... Well, here are the blurbs: Record Mirror: KATE BUSH, who's been out of the limelight for some time, announces her comeback single 'Running Up That Hill' which is available on August 5. Strangely enough, the accompanying 12 inch version is the first of its kind that Kate has ever released (has she been away that long?) and contains a completely reworked version of the A-side. Kate's fifth album will be released in September, her first for three years which has been taken up with the building of her own studio. NME: KATE BUSH -- who has spent the better part of three years designing, building and equipping her own recording studio, followed by lengthy periods of songwriting and recording -- is back on vinyl next Monday with the release of a new EMI single, 'Running Up That Hill'/'Under The Ivy', which she wrote, arranged and produced. There's also an extended and remixed 12-inch version, her first ever. The A-side is taken from her fifth album, due out in September and her first since 'The Dreaming' in late 1982. Melody Maker: KATE IS BACK! KATE BUSH is back in business with the release of a single on August 5. "Running Up That Hill" is taken from a new, as yet untitled, album -- her first since "The Dreaming" in 1982. "Running Up That Hill" and its B-side "Under The Ivy" were written, arranged and produced by Kate Bush. On the same date, she releases her first 12-inch single which features an extended and re-mixed version of the A-side. Despite her long silence, Kate Bush has been busy designing and equipping her own recording studio. She spent another six months writing songs and a year recording them. There is also a very strange and unrecognizable dark-room manipulated picture of Kate Bush in the "Lest We Forget: 5 Years Ago" section of the NME. "Babooshka" is listed as appearing at the number 5 position, and the picture bears the caption "Er... Kate Bush? 'Right!' Pic Anton Corbijn". I'm surprised that the NME even bothers to mention Kate Bush, since they dismissed all of her albums, including "The Dreaming". Maybe they realize that they were wrong? Probably not, though.... It will be interesting to see what they say about "Hounds of Love".... "I wait at the [turn] table and hold hands with weeping strangers" Doug Alan nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (or ARPA)
