Sorry to take so long regarding a Kate Bush fandom question, but I'm away
on vacation.  I just stumbled into an Arpa connection at the U of MD.

I know someone who called up EMI in London.  They told him that it would
be released in August and that this is firm.  Kate Bush's new album was
finished being recorded sometime around December.  I've heard two
different rumors about what's causing the delay.  One says that the
record company thinks that it is too uncommercial and is sitting on it.
The other says that Kate Bush decided it wasn't mixed well enough, and
has spent the last several months remixing it.  Also, she wasn't
satisfied with the cover and is having it redone.  Knowing that Kate
Bush is an unrelenting perfectionist these days, I tend to believe
that the latter rumor is probably correct.

I just got my initiation package to the "Kate Bush Club", which I sent
away for five months ago.  This is a fan club that Kate Bush runs
herself.  It came with a wonderful little newsletter that among other
things, has an article written by Kate describing her new album and the
making of it.  It will have 5 songs on the first side, and the second
side will be a theme side.  John Williams (the guitarist) and Eberhard
Weber will be playing on it.  Paddy Bush (Kate's brother) will be
playing digeridu (Rof Harris gave Paddy one of his).  I'll type in the
article if any one really cares.

Other interesting facts disclosed in this newsletter: Salvador Dali (who
has for a long time has been my favorite painter) is Kate Bush's
favorite artist, she has never heard a CD, and her favorite band of 1984
is Killing Joke, especially the song "80's".  Isn't this a hardcore
band?  Anyone know anything more about them?

Here's an interesting excerpt from the "Interview" section:

	AS MANY OF THE PRESS AND ALBUM REVIEWERS CONSIDERED "THE
	DREAMING" TO BE "WEIRD" AND "OVER PRODUCED" ETC. DO YOU MIND IF
	THE PRESS LABEL THE NEW ALBUM "EVEN WEIRDER"?

	I don't mind "even weirder" but I don't like "over produced".

Well, I'll tell you if I find out anything new.
