  • I like a lot of Kate's music. Just recently heard about the new album and I saw a news site that had this new version of DU uploaded. I listened to it and must say I was pretty horrified at it. All in all, I think it's a pretty nifty idea to go back and rework some of your older songs. But if they all sound as badly as this one...I think I'll pass.

    No offense to Kate or to any Kate fans either.

  • @blackroses84 yep. I'm a die hard kate bush fan, but still I have my limits. I just cannot listen to this song.

  • @peperes2

    Have you listened to the Lily sample? The original Lily is one of my favorite Kate songs. The 30 second sample sounds pretty good. I just wish the whole thing would leak so I could really make up my mind.

  • This has always been one of my favourite tracks. Why does she have to make the changes?

  • AHHHH! NEW KATE BUSH MUSIC!!!

  • MindControlIMI5- please see someone, dont mean to sound nasty but you are not well mate.

  • @terryperring104 I've studied this too. Not sure about Kate's specific involvement, but many artists are or were mind controlled -- research on MKULTRA and "satanic music industry". I still love KB's original material though. It changed my life.

  • The more I listen, the more I hate. What a wasted opportunity. But we still love Kate x

  • I use to be a huge Kate Bush fan, but that was before I learned about her connections to the Tavistock Institute of London. This institute creates mind control slaves that work for MI5 under the British Monarchy. Many of her songs have trigger words and sounds embedded into them which are made to trigger those who have been programmed to do certain tasks. I can no longer support her music, until she comes clean about her involvement.

  • awful, truly, embarassingly bad

  • I was so excited about this and the new album. But this is AWFUL. I adore Kate Bush, but someone should have told her to stop and go no further. Sensual World was a very beautiful album, but this reinterpretation of 'Deeper Understanding' sounds ridiculous, childish, and without charm. The 'Trio Bulgarka' are barely there, being deleted into oblivion. What a tragic shocker :(

  • I love Kate Bush. I have everything she's ever done. Having said that, I went to katebush.com and tried to hear the whole song. I couldn't make it through the whole thing. It was sad. Why take something beautiful, remake a shitty verison. Just to make money without trying? Must everyone let you down? Heartbreaking. What a world, what a world.

  • @gosha1661

    Well said x

  • I can not believe THE FOG was left out! (crying)

  • i fel so lucky, a life time of beautiful music. and.. on vinyl, vinyLP, CD, MP3, got the vids now on my ipad, music on ipod and iphone. got everything thank you Kate. XX, yes: lucky the word. you well peng

  • OH JESUS CHRIST! I have just heard the full version on katebush.com and I think the poor girl has really lost the plot. Kate oh Kate, what have you done ? Okay, you're only human - to err is human, I will still love your entire back catalogue. But, this, THIS ?????????

  • @proto1type I agree - I can't believe how sloppy and generally crap this is. The original was beautiful but this sounds like it was produced by the work experience kid. Some people will assume it's just more evidence of her bold artistic genius but they'd probably say the same if she released a record of her blowing her nose or burping. She certainly was a genius and still a national treasure, but I think the golden years are long passed.

  • @serratusx I am so glad you agree. Sometimes if one is critical on YouTube a backlash can be expected from other users. The thing is, I absolutely ADORE Kate Bush but it doesn't mean I must neccessarily agree with EVERYTHING she does. I hope I am wrong but I do believe this venture of hers will prove to be a big mistake :-(

  • @proto1type i totally feel the same :)

  • @proto1type

    It's horrendous isn't it? So many Bush fans across the world are feeling bereft, me including. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? 

  • hope the trio bulgarka are not on this new version. their voices spoiled her stuff.

  • Dear Kate... I love you and I thank you for your gift of music , you are divine!

  • I cant believe it...a new album from Kate. I have waiting and waiting and here she comes again. I nearly thougt she had finished. Greeting from Sweden. *Mikael* ps How is my English ? I never use it....until now.

  • The whole version is now on Kate Bush.com and is truly magnificent. She's a genius and still as beautiful and charismatic as ever.

  • the full version

    /watch?v=H5UsjqXXcZ4

  • so is the Bulganin trio still on?

  • Just listened to it on BBC2. It's quite interesting. Will need a few more listens to make up my mind about it and to figure out which version I prefer best. But I was surprised it was less than 3 and a half minutes. I thought it was going to be 6:32? That's was Amazon stated...

  • @JazzySimpleton I believe it still is 6:32 - the version played on the radio was just a radio edit.

  • @SuperFlashDelirium Yeah, I've already learned that. Been listening to the full version the whole day... What a joy...

  • Kate Bush... I've been in love with you since 1978 and my loyalty to you and your creativity is immense.... I already love your new release even without listening to it yet..... I have got an idea.... would you mind re-record the song Brazil and release it as a B side as a future single.....???? All your Brazilian fans would be delighted... love you dear.

  • Hope Kate slept well last night. I didn't sleep too much. I just couldn't wait! :D

  • OMG! this woman is a genius. She was already speaking back in 1989 what we would be doing in the future, what we all do, spending hours and hours in front a new friend - the computer. I turn to my computer as a friend. I LOVE YOU KATE!

  • Instead of doing a boring greatest hits package, she is doing something a bit more daring. For me, it will be interesting how she evolves these songs to the next level.

  • I don't know really. I LOVE Kate, really adore her brilliant musical masterpieces. But I fear she may be making a mistake with this venture. I doubt it's the best idea - trying to dress up old songs and make them them sound more appealing than the originals ??? I hope I am wrong.

  • I'll be honest and say it does take some time to adjust away from the original version we've fallen in love with. Regardless, I cannot wait to hear the rest!

  • Trio Bulgarka prominent on the Sensual World track...a fine piece of work.

  • @bitcheata Kate Bush has talent and grace. She is nothing like you.

  • i want to hear the new verison of 'the sensual world' song (re-named 'the flower of the mountain'?, thats one of my faves of hers! cannot wait to hear the complete song of deeper understanding though...

  • I cannot wait to hear this whole song. I love how she is using her voice in the background here. So wonderful. How I try to bring this kind of magic to my own music. I have a lot to learn. Thanks Kate, for yet another magical version of perfection. I love your music!!!

  • the most anticipated album of the year

  • Oooo I like it already....

  • Kind of a boring video there...

  • A big Hurrah for Kate!

  • Only Kate can improve upon perfection! Can't wait!!!

  • OMG! I'm so there!!

  • is from the sensual world the new single?

  • @MrSamiitho The original version was from the sensual world. This new version is from her upcoming album Director's cut.

  • Ok Pete.....Breathe.....Breathe..­...... 

  • Can't wait!!! XD

  • Kate, you do love to tease us ;) First a brief snippet on Amazon, now a 46second higher quality teaser. BECAUSE OF THIS WE ARE ALL NOW THE PEOPLE THIS SONG IS WRITTEN ABOUT ! Forums and social networks going into overdrive. Crazy fans not daring to leave the forum/ facebook/ twitter just in case they miss something or get news 15 seconds later than someone else. Thank you for turning me into an 'internet junky' !!!! Can't wait for the Ken Bruce show on Monday and next week's chart.

  • I will buy the single and the new album, honestly if Kate Bush released a fart I'd pay good money for it.

  • @Klute1977 theryd be a line up for sure..lmao

  • J'adore!!! Cannot wait for Kate's NEW album. XOXOXOXOXO

  • Yes, please!

  • I love Kate Bush!

  • fab fab fab!!!! cant wait for this album and new material - the album comes out in time for my birthday, what a fab birthday pressie for myself it will be :) kat xxx

  • OMG!!!! I cant wait to listen this, finally; after all this time!!!, Kate you are an inspiration, I love your music, Im so happy!!!!! ....

  • I love the intire The Sensual World album

  • Thank you thank you for releasing this. Kate is up there with Philip K Dick.

    I can't she wrote this song so long ago. It's one of my favs off The Sensual World but I have only really related to the meaning and feel of this song in the last couple of weeks. If there were ever words to convey how I am feeling in this moment of time it's this. Thank you. x

  • @PamelaKavanagh my na,me is philip

  • kate, i simply fucking love you.

  • I love the live feel it has. Just ordered the cd-pack & vinyl doubler at my KTB dealer. He still knew who i was after six years.

  • I hate to leave...

  • The original version in a masterpiece in itself, and this clip proves that a masterpiece can be duplicated.... I am looking forward to listening to the whole album....... Kate Bush is stellar...a wonderful rare gem. thankyou kate, really....

  • OMG COMPLETELY AMAZED I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS IN SUCH LONG TIME CAN'T WAIT

  • I need DEEPER UNDERSTANDING!!!!!

  • @UneverknOwithK8 shut up you cunt! you don't know a shit about music and you must burn on a fire and go to the deepest part of hell, bitch.

  • Hearing new stuff from Kate is such a rareity now, It makes it so special....I CANT WAIT...

  • @brekkiechef Well, maybe it wasn't formulated quite right. It's just, I wont buy the album, if it's basically more or less the same as the original. The song isn't boring, but it would be boring to make a whole new album, if there's not a significant difference.

    @mmeta Appart from the drums and the choir, I don't hear that big a change.

  • @callmeswahili There was a soundclip on wikipedia that showed a very different section of the song, but it's been taken down.

  • @NdrewAllmark But the link from wikipedia to that first snippet is still valid :)

  • wow, this is exciting.

  • sounds wonderful

  • Comment removed

  • Hearing her voice makes me feel so excited! It is such a beautiful instrument. Love you, Kate!

  • @HCmon um... did you HEAR "Aerial"? that was possibly the best album she ever made...

  • @UneverknOwithK8 at least I have a mom unlike you were aborted.

  • New? It's not new, it's just a new version of a song which has been written ages ago. Why does she re-release this song as a new single (it hasn't been a single upon its original release)? Guess the meanings of the lyrics are as current as ever.

  • @robwenk

    Just read that she releases an album with re-recordings of songs from Sensual World and The red shoes. Better than nothing :)

  • I prefer the old one from The Sensual World. I'll wait for the full version though, but doesn't sound like it's gonna be better.

  • pure perfection everything and more i could ever hope for!!!

    Monday could never feel so far away as it does now!!!!!

  • Darn it, I thought it was a dog...dog is so much more fun than fret squeak...

  • Like it.

  • OMG OMG OMG *explodes* Thank you for returning to us, Kate!!! <3

  • The  sound is fantastic !!

  • I've never been SO excited in my whole life (apart from passing my driving test at the 2nd try).

  • Kate is back! I haven't been this excited over an album release in such a long time. I'm pretty sure that when the single is released I will be playing it in a loop until the album comes out, or until my head explodes. Whichever comes first...

  • The new computerized vocals are not included in this sample, but it's very different from the old version - love it already!

  • 47 secondes c'est quand même abusé... Je sais que c'est la mode de découper les sons pour créer le buzz, mais là c'est du sacrilège !

  • It's definitely a dog barking at :36 - one of the Irish Wolfhounds?

  • @MsBkirk that's fret squeak

    

  • The Cher sound effect also reminded me of Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch)allegedly 'singing' Physical on Glee! She has been absent from the series a while.

  • This is a Wonderful Birthday present for me from Kate!!!

  • I am in love with the backing vocals on the original. Wonder what the new will do with that. Whatever it is, it is Kate and that is enough. :)

  • Love it, Love it, Love it! Thank you!!

  • Interesting delicate,relaxed groove,beautiful harmonies,soulfull vocals,rellevant story,anyone missing the point here would benefit from a deeper understanding of the finest art (-:

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAH THIS IS SO SEXY I AM SO EXCITED

  • It's another AERIAL vocal...Can't wait to see my fav album TRS reworked... It's going to be a NIRVANA-like experience...

  • :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is wonderful. I cannot wait to hear the full track...and then the whole album.

  • If only the record had a mixture of tracks with The Dreaming and Hounds of Love. (Although i presume The Dreaming better be kept untouched since nothing more can be added to its beautiful, beautiful layers of sound.)

  • And suddenly I expect so much more of this record...

  • The RUMOURS about the Molly Bloom soliloquy!! People, where have you been living lately? :D

  • inhales......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! i can't wait!!!!! the genius has returned! this better get number 1!!!!!!

  • sounds like "Deeper understanding" mixed with "Don't give up". Hmm

  • Can't make a judgement call from a 46 second excerpt, but it sounds good, something to chill out to before retiring for the night. Which is when I listen to most of my music nowadays being middle-aged and all! Still fond of the original though.

  • YES.

  • Just soooo COOL !!

  • I know it's only a short clip, but she removed the best part!! The Trio Bulgarka!! Luckily the original is still around and still sounds fantastic.

  • @Tanru2000 true, but we do have kate doing "doo, doo, doo de doo" and then many kates doing it. sets the hackles on the cat standing

  • @mmeta Yes I like the many Kate's 'doo dooing' too! 

  • TROLLS, go away!

  • If FLower of the Mountain IS the new version of TSW I will quit chocolate! XD Can't wait!!!!!

  • ok, it is one of the best songs of The Sensual World and the re-recording sounds nice but it is no reason for a hype. 

  • @ravettox The reason for the hype is that absolutely nothing has been heard of her since 2005 and the fact that know she is working on new material.

    Fans are excited for anything she does because it happens so rarely.

  • @Yetaxa :-) I'm a fan since 1979 but I never trust a hype, hope so. And what are 6-7 years compared with the 12 from the Shoes to Aerial? Nothing. ;-)

  • @Yetaxa She performed the song "Lyra" in 2007 for the Golden Compass film.

  • @Yetaxa I wouldn't call rehashing and compilating old songs, "new material". I agree with ravettox, no reason for the hype.

  • Kate = Great

  • There is a lot more space in the mix of the song from that on the original album and sounds a lot more aerial-like. I like the original and love Kate but for me A Sky of Honey was so magical that any re-interpretation of older work which has that as its sonic template get my thumbs up big time.

  • Sounds m o r e than okey! :)

  • This is going to sound incredible when fully released!

    I got chocked at her vocals, they are so deep, it's like if she's speaking to my soul!

    I love this, and the other preview as well! Kate Bush, you are the B.E.S.T! =)

  • magnificently beautiful!

  • Quite simply, she is the best, I can't wait!!! Will make my scary 1st day at work a fiddle!!! X thxs Kate, from a lifelong fan

  • @HCmon She's not a bitch. She's a godess.

  • @loooooooo65432 a godess? and your point is?

  • @HCmon That she couldn't be called a bitch.

  • @loooooooo65432 bitch is sweet, bye

  • That's ...wonderful.... 

  • Wonderful. And I wonder if the rumour of "flower of the mountain" is true.

  • @TheStoryTeller1618 Sorry, I just HAVE to ask you: what rumour?? LOL

  • @Rubberbandgirl76 Hi RBGirl... Mysterious little things appear and disappear in the digital world. The story goes that a swedish site listed the yet unknown tracks of the Directr's Cut album. The first song on that list carried the name was "flower of the mountain". From there it was told that it is The Sensual World reworked and woven with Molly Bloom's words from James Joyce's Ullyses. Or so it is told. But the tracklist went up and disappeared.

  • THIS IS THE ONLY ONE TRACK WHICH IS FANTASTIC FROM KATE BITSH, I DARE SAY

  • @bitcheata Nice to hear something positive from you. But her last name is BUSH.

  • Sorry but this isn't going to trouble the charts very much. Dull.

  • @richardkiddle You can't say that after just hearing a 46 second sample.

  • Wait, no Bulgarian's Women's Choir or vocoded chorus? That's boring.

  • I heart that bass! awesomeness <333

  • It definitely sounds more martial thanks to that annoying snare drum that insists on pushing its way to the front. I'd be curious to know why KB thought that this track needed reworking? I could pick a few dozen that might be improved with a second pass, but this wasn't one of them. Perhaps if she'd taken it in an entirely different direction, but the mood of this new cut sounds too much like the original. I love you Kate, but this is a pass.

  • i love it!!! it very diffrent .. it is much more updated .. i like the tick ticka drumming sound ... it much more suround sound i love it !!!

  • Well someones got to say it, This is far better then the clip on amazon the other day... i think autotune would work on that bit of the song but it just sounded messy...

    her voice ages so well...

    anyone got idea's on track listing for director's cut?

  • A day off work on the 4th of April me thinks...

  • Brilliant! Can't wait to hear it in full.

  • can't wait!!  :-)))

  • Unbelievable fantastic. This is Kate's voice at it's best.

  • her voice just gets better and better. i love the original version too.

  • faints....

  • It's not that different from the original. I hope the other remakes will be more different, otherwise, it could end up a little boring...

  • @callmeswahili kate could sing the chinese telephone directory and it wouldnt be boring

  • @brekkiechef Hmm, she came very close to that with Pi, and I'm still trying to decide if she got away with it.

  • @brekkiechef  How about enumerating the Pi digits during a whole song ?

    (I always thought this song was an attempt to prove what's precisely your point :)

  • @callmeswahili it's nothing like the original!

  • I wonder where the Cher sound effect has gone as heared in the Amazon music clip. I must say that sounded a bit strange. I like this clip better :)

  • 6 more days and I'll be walking on clouds !!!

  • I love Kate's music and Aerial was a revelation. So hearing that a new album was coming out this year was very exciting news. Alas an album of re-works is very disappointing indeed.

  • @SkaroKid I believe she is working on new material
