New Releases Tuesday (11/8)

Kate Bush - Aerial (Sony) It's been 12 years since her last record, but Kate Bush is back with a vengeance with a double album and an amazing new single, "King of the Mountain." Wordly downtempo radio host John Diliberto (from PRI's Echoes) puts in his two cents on Amazon: With its Depeche Mode-influenced synth pads, electro pulses, and lyric cadences, "King of the Mountain" is vintage Bush pop. But many of the songs attain more epic proportions, like the dynamic "Joanni," a hymn to Joan of Arc. It's the second disc--a suite called A Sky of Honey--on which Bush really comes into her own. Using metaphors of the turning of the day and the flight of birds, she orchestrates a meditation on the cycles of life...embracing her relatively new motherhood, as well as the death of her mother, Aerial is a deeply personal album, and a welcome return from one of pop music's true icons and vocal wonders. Also check out these fine releases: Beastie Boys - Solid Gold Hits (Capitol) Gris Gris - For the Season (Birdman) Knut - Terraformer (Hydrahead) Tarantula A.D. - Book of Sand (Kemado) Tristeza - A Colores (Better Looking)
