Well, awesome, of course! Kate's videos are a treasure trove of happiness for me. Hand in hand with the discovery of the albums came the videos, and there are few I dislike. We can go from the simplistic early videos showcasing a remarkable talent for performance, technical genius and a fabulous, funny, camp sensibility. The cinematic 80s, the pinnacle of which for me is the magnificent Experiment IV. The 90s, consisting largely of just the videos that make up The Line, the Cross and the Curve. I'm fond of it, and think Kate does rather well on what is clearly a very stretched budget. Bringing things up to date, I like King of the Mountain, I couldn't help but be happy to see Kate in a video again after so long, and, whilst there was such a long gap, it still manages to have that intrinsic feel of a Kate Bush video. Deeper Understanding I'm less fond of. Here's hoping for that long overdue DVD collection (ideally with the delicious Kate Show as a much-deserved extra feature). After enduring the wilderness years I am over the moon to have an active, busy Kate Bush once again, giving us two albums in one year (not happened since 1978, that), actually going to collect an award, and now releasing a great new version of RUTH. That she has put music at the top of the priorities list is great, but I do hope that she'll dip a toe back into visual media once again. As a previous poster suggested, perhaps working with alternative video producers - if this could get Kate back
in front
of the camera, I'd be the first to applaud.
