I originally thought "WHO'S ON THE LEFT? WHO'S ON THE RIGHT?" was written for this particular version but if you go back and listen to the Red Shoes original you'll faintly hear that wonderful screech...
Just when you think you know a Kate Bush song inside and out she shows you there's always more to it than you think :)
I totally agree, there is no need to re- record any of her original stuff, all of it stands on its own... I think she was going for a darker version ( if it could be made any darker ! ) but it hasn't worked out that well- she just sounds like an adult having a child- like shouting tantrum . I am also a great fan of Kate, but I have to say that even when Ariel came out I wasn't that impressed. Maybe, and I feel like cutting my tongue out when I say this - Kate should just gracefully retire .
This is just ok. There was absolutely no need to re-record this (or ANY of the songs on "Sensual World" or "Red Shoes"). The original version is so superior. I hate the way she screams and shouts her way through this. BTW, I am a HUGE fan of Kate Bush but I have a right to be critical too.
Kate, I only discovered your music 2 years ago but ever since I listened to my mothers copy of The kick inside I fell in love with your music. I now own every album of yours, I still cant really pick a favoroute but the new version of Moments of Pleasure is possibly my faveroute song of all time. I know I am not the first to say this but I just wanted to say that you are my idol and my hero. Your music speaks to me in away nothing else ever has.
I loved the original version on "Red Shoes" - I like this version a lot too - very intense like the original - like the rawness of the original version better - this is a more driving version - love everything Kate does :)
@TacomaPaul it may be a special edition with only a few printed with that ?? im not sure :) you should check the kate bush website, there may be some info on it there ^^
Her new CD is BRILLIANT. Lily is one of the highlights. She has managed to take the old and make it new with a brilliant soundscape. Welcome back Lady Kate. Well done.
This is bloody good. The other tracks I heard were shite; 'Flower of The Mountain' and 'Moments of Pleasure' were dull and lifeless, but this works. There is hope left. Phew.
Kate is right: the percussion on this track (and the album) is phenomenal!

I find this second version better than the first : it could be a good song, but the rythm was not good. On this new version, it's ok !

Awesome stuff....
At very end of video she's on cover of MOJO.... what issue is that ? I haven't missed an issue in a year, don't have that one!
BUT !!! In June 2011 issue (with Bob Marley on cover) there is a GREAT brand new interview with her !
