Happy (Belated) Halloween
Please pardon my being a day late on this, but I wish all my fellow Progarchists a Happy All Hallows’ Eve. Enjoy a creepy tune courtesy of Kate Bush.

A rare and beautiful collaboration with Kate Bush and David Gilmour…
This fine track comes from Roy Harper’s 1980 album, The Unknown Soldier, with Kate Bush also on vocals and David Gilmour on guitar:
Kate Bush — “And Dream of Sheep (Live)” — Official Video
This is a special piece of film to accompany the release of the live single ‘And Dream Of Sheep’. The vocal was performed live while filming Kate lying in the huge water tank at Pinewood Studios. This was to create a sense of realism, as the character in the song is lost at sea. However it became more realistic than Kate had imagined. She spent so long in the water during the first day of filming that she contracted mild hypothermia. She recovered after a day off and carried on filming. Everyone agreed it had added to the authenticity of the performance. This film was then projected onto a large oval screen which hung above the stage during the performances of her live show.
Kate Bush: Before the Dawn (on Nov 25)
Kate Bush announces:
On November 25 the live album “Before The Dawn” will be released on CD (3 CDs) and vinyl (4 vinyl) and digital download. The conceptual heart of the show is reflected in the CD format, which is split over 3 discs centred around the two integral pieces – ‘The Ninth Wave’ and ‘A Sky Of Honey’.
CD1 ends with the pivotal track ‘King Of The Mountain’ which bridges into ‘The Ninth Wave’ suite of songs on CD2.
The album was produced by Kate Bush. Nothing on the record was re-recorded or overdubbed.
Revisiting the 31 UK Singles of Kate Bush
Wow wow, wow wow, you have to read this fun list over at the Telegraph. It starts off like this:
From the moment 18-year-old Kate Bush stepped on to the stage at Top of the Pops and gave a career-defining performance of Wuthering Heights, she has beguiled and baffled with her every unhinged shriek and wild, wide-eyed gesture.
Since that extraordinary 1978 debut, she has released a further 30 singles, despite being anything but your typical singles artist. Bush’s greatest hits – and even those that failed to much trouble the charts – all display a creativity and variety unparalleled in pop music.
