Never one to stand still and repeat herself, she would move more into Jazz territory by the time of 50 Words for Snow. Aerial marries elements of Folk and Flamenco alongside Classic elements styles and tones that are not overly-present in previous Bush albums. On most of her studio albums, Bush employed a variety of musicians and incorporated a number of styles and genres in order to give her albums depth and so much colour. I have always been fascinated by Bush’s development and building sonic palette through the years. I am going to focus on a few songs from Aerial in future features, but I wanted to do a more general overview and broader sweep this time around. I guess being a new mum did inspire creative urge and inspiration she might not have otherwise had, but even though she was still signed to EMI in 2005 – she formed her label Fish People, later, and is now working with EMI in a much lesser capacity -, there was not a huge amount of promotion.Īerial does not feature Bush on the cover ( The Red Shoes only featured her feet), and there are a couple of good interviews around the time, though she was more forthcoming regarding promotion by time she released Director’s Cut, and 50 Words for Snow in 2011. A lot of Aerial has Bertie running through its blood, and Bush was prioritising motherhood above recording. Her son, Bertie, was born in 1998, and she wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. By 2005, Bush had pushed further away from the media. Although Hounds of Love’s The Ninth Wave has tension and drama throughout, there is something more relaxed and contemplative on Aerial’s A Sky of Honey. If anything, Aerial’s second side (or second album, technically) is more ambitious and astonishing. As I have explored in previous features – and I will come onto -, there are similarities between Hounds of Love of 1985 and Aerial, in the sense that both have first sides that are more conventional and are not defined by a theme/narrative, whereas there is a conceptual second side. There was always speculation and potential, but after twelve years, even the most ardent Kate Bush fans might have lost a bit of hope! Not only did she come back with an album: Aerial is Kate Bush’s only double album to date. Its anniversary happens on 7th November, and it was a huge event! Aerial arrived twelve years after The Red Shoes, and there was no real indication to suggest that there would definitely be another album.

When the realization of no “I” pops, there is indeed a diamond quality to it all. The can be seen as a beautiful expression of the play of the absolute and relative, as ourselves as Big Mind and a human self. The universe happens within and as us, and the stars are caught in our hair and the stars are on our fingers. As consciousness and all its manifestations. Yes, a longing for discovering our true nature. We become panoramic – the world world is within us. No one is here – this probably means that there were no others there, but can also be seen as the realization that there is no “I” – there is no one here. ![]()
