I tried but I found it repetitive, undynamic and very boring. Where are the melodies? Where is the intensity?

I just bought it. Is she singing about a washing machine?

since this is Tape Op, does anyone have info on La Bush's recording/work methods? I always envisioned her as some sort of home recording pioneer, with a big old Fairlight, and a bunch of other stuff in a reconditioned barn in the English countryside. Not sure where i got that idea from. Anybody got the scoop?

I have read a few things that have led me to believe that she has a pretty serious home studio. Abbey Road gets mentioned a lot, so she probably has the best of both worlds.

She does have a fairly well-equipped home studio. Del Palmer (husband? I thought they split) engineers and plays bass.

To the Hounds Of Love fan: That's a great album, but make sure to find the CD with bonus tracks. "Under the Ivy" is seriously one of her most amazing songs, and very minimal instrumentation. If that's the only CD you have check out (in this order in my opinion):

The Dreaming (Holy shit, I think her best. Sampling used the right way!)
Never Forever
The Sensual World ("This Woman's Work" is also amazing)
The Kick Inside
Lionheart

Wait until you're obessesed:
Ariel
The Red Shoes (my least fave)

Am I nuts or is this new Kate Bush record her worst? I'm having a rough time remembering any of the songs or getting any idea what they're about or any emotionaly content. I'm off for a flight tomorrow, just bought really god Shure earbuds and will check it in the iPod and report back. Maybe it's a sleeper? I hope so. Been such a long wait...
