KATE BUSH
AERIAL (2005)
320 KBPS
There are few albums to which I would give a full 10/10. One of them would be the criminally underrated Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk. There are similarities with Aerial. Commercially successful artist gains total control over their work, taking as long as they need to with nary a thought for the record company's blessed "bottom line". The album is released, bearing no relation whatsoever to anything troubling the charts, to immense critical acclaim. The music thereon straggles the avantgarde and the pop worlds, and fails to find a mass audience.
Well, I can only hope I'm wrong about the last bit. This deserves massive sales, as the public recognise a truly great artist making music to move and inspire. Even the song to her son moved me deeply - let's face it, has any artist's paean to their child ever really achieved that? And let's ignore Lennon's Beautiful Boy - as mawkish as Macca could ever be. If she can carry off that self-indulgence, she can carry off anything.
And she does. Yes, she is totally hatstand, but who cares when the outcome is one of the greatest albums of the decade? We'll see whether it is that or not, but it certainly feels like it now.

Hatstand : Insane, particularly if characterised by exaggerated or cartoonish behaviour ; gibbering in an nonsensical fashion.

hi stefan
just stopped by to wish u and your family (and your friends and everyone else, godamm it...! lol) a happy 2008!
nice toughts on the k bush post. but that´s how it goes, isn´t it? sort of a van gogh syndrome or whatever... i always think about vernon reid on the living colour stop after "stain" - when we finally did something we thought was meaningfull, nobody understood...!
anyway...
all the best!
fernando
p.s.: i´m not really familiar to french music, except for the "big ones" like gainsbourg or eventually some of your posts. i´ve heard 2 or 3 tracks by alain chamfort, from an album called "le plaisir", and it sounded pretty interesting to me. know anything about it?

Hi Stefan
Just caught your post on Hatstand. I work for Hatstand Opera in the UK, and your description "Insane, particularly if characterised by exaggerated or cartoonish behaviour ; gibbering in an nonsensical fashion" is spot on for us too!
Cheers
