A bit of bush

At the end of the film "The Golden Compass" you can hear a rare outing of
Kate Bush. Yep, she has once more plunged into her underused and dusty
studio and knocked out a song called "Lyra" for the end of the movie. It
features a nice vocal by Kate over some rather lazy hazy backing which
ultimately does very little. I suppose if you consider it as ambient music, it sort of works, but otherwise is hardly something to jump up and down
excitedly about.

OK, so it is something new by Kate Bush, perhaps I will do
a bit of jumping up and down after all, but very small jumps, in slippers,
on the carpet.

Meanwhile Sky News reports that by recording this new track, Kate Bush now
has "a taste for recording" and "fans are being told to expect a new
offering from Bush, but probably not until late next year". Pardon me while
I rock with mirth. I'm sure Kate may well be thinking about recording
some more material sometime eventually, but let's not get excited for a few more years yet.
