About Kate Bush
from
wikipedia.com:
Kate
Bush (born Catherine Bush 30 July 1958,
Bexleyheath, Greater London) is an English
singer, songwriter, musician and record
producer. Her eclectic musical style and
idiosyncratic lyrics have made her one of the
United Kingdom's most successful and original
solo female performers of the past 30
years.

1978–1979
Her
first album, The Kick Inside, was released in
1978 and featured songs she had written during
the previous several years, including her debut
single, the high-pitched and ethereal "Wuthering
Heights," which topped the UK and Australian
charts and became an international hit. In doing
so, she became the first woman to reach number
one in the UK charts with a self-penned song.
EMI originally wanted the more rock-orientated
track "James and the Cold Gun" to be her debut
song, but she insisted that it should be
"Wuthering Heights." Even by this early stage of
her career, she had gained a reputation as being
determined to have a say in decisions affecting
her work.

1980–1982
Released in September 1980, Never for
Ever saw Kate's second foray into production,
co-producing with Jon Kelly. Her first time as a
producer was on her Live On Stage EP, released
after her tour the previous year. The first two
albums had resulted in a definitive sound
evident in every track, with orchestral
arrangements supporting the live band sound. The
range of styles on Never for Ever is much more
diverse, veering from the straightforward rocker
"The Wedding List" to the wistful waltz of hit
single "Army Dreamers." Never for Ever was her
first album to be composed on synthesizers and
drum machines, in particular the Fairlight CMI,
to which she was introduced when providing
backing vocals on Peter Gabriel's third album in
early 1980.

1983–1987
Considered by many reviewers to be her
masterpiece, 1985's Hounds of Love is no less
experimental than previous albums from a
production standpoint. Due to the high cost of
hiring studio space for her previous album, she
built a private studio near her home, where she
could work at her own pace.
more...
1988–1994
The
increasingly personal tone of her writing
continued on 1989's The Sensual World, with
songs about unexpressed and unrequited love
("Love And Anger" and "Never Be Mine,"
respectively), the pressures on modern
relationships ("Between A Man And A Woman"), and
self-doubt ("The Fog"). "Deeper Understanding"
portrays a lonely person who finds solace in the
company of a computer. "Rocket's Tail," a
dedication to her recently deceased cat Rocket,
invokes the joys of indulging in another's
fantasy. One of the quirkiest tracks on the
album, touched by her trademark black humour, is
"Heads We're Dancing," about a woman who dances
all night with a charming stranger only to find
out that he is Adolf Hitler.

1994-2006
After
the release of The Red Shoes in 1993, Kate
dropped out of the public eye for many years,
although her name occasionally cropped up in the
media, with rumours of a new album release. The
press often viewed her as an eccentric recluse,
sometimes drawing a comparison with Miss
Havisham from Charles Dickens's Great
Expectations. In reality, she was trying to give
her young son a normal childhood, away from the
world of show business. In 1998, she gave birth
to Albert, known as "Bertie," fathered by her
guitarist and now-husband Danny McIntosh. She
did not release the news of his birth to the
press, and it was over two years before the
story broke. On the few occasions she has spoken
to the press since, she has made it clear that
motherhood has made her very happy. The couple
and their son have two homes; one a £2.5 million
house in South Hams on the Devon coast and one a
mansion on an island on the Kennet and Avon
canal at Sulhamstead in Berkshire.

2007-Present
In
2007, Kate recorded the track 'Lyra' for the
film 'The Golden Compass'. The song was featured
over the end credits of the film & is
available on the soundtrack. The song was
recorded in under two weeks & features the
Magdalen College Choir. You can read more about
the recording of 'Lyra' at Del
Palmer's webiste.
