To be called _Aerial_. And a double album to boot. [http://www.katebushnews.com/katenews.htm](http://www.katebushnews.com/katenews.htm) Here’s hoping it more resembles her mid-period stuff (Never For Ever, The Dreaming)–for me her later records are somewhat overproduced. But at this point, I’m happy for anything. ---

Now that I’ve calmed down somewhat… In 1993 I waited outside HMV until they opened, and when I ran in, they were already playing the album. I will be doing the same on November 7th, or 8th if the Canada release is the same date as the U.S. release. ---

It’s about freaking time! Here’s hoping it doesn’t suck. And there’d better not be any Prince on it. ---

I’m glad that when she said 2005, she meant 2005, not early or mid-2006, or 2007. > [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > And there’d better not be any Prince on it. “Why Should I Love You?” starts out so nice, with the Trio Bulgarka and all, then BAM! the Prince shit starts and ruins it. Had it been a Kate-only production, it would have been a lovely song. ---

Looks like this news has the Scotts all in a tizzy. I wonder how the Welsh are reacting? 😉 ---

Exciting news. Kate is approx my age and I was living in the UK (military assignment back in 79-83) when she was so “Top of the Pops.” I loved her creativity, beauty and panache. I hope it’s REAL Kate Bush and not some marketing sellout. Exciting news though, huh? ---

My Goddess returns! The single, “King of the Mountain” is going to be played for the first time on BBC Radio Two’s Ken Bruce show between around 9.30 & 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday 21st September. That show [streams live](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/bruce/) but if you guys wouldn’t mind, don’t tune in so it doesn’t crash while I’m trying to listen. Thanks in advance! 😃 ---

I was telling a friend (who does not appreciate the Divine Kate) about the new release; she replied “You’ve been saying this for the past two years.” Me- “Yeah, but now it’s actually been officially announced!” ---

_Music Week_, about the single: “This rhythmic gem grows and grows from an almost electronic-sounding start to suggest that the wait has been well worth it.” The CD set will (apparently) comprise about seven songs on one disc, and “one single track” on the other – kind of like _The Ninth Wave_. From [here](http://www.katebushnews.com/katenews.htm#3). ---

The cover of the single (“King of the Mountain”) is unveiled now. Go to: [http://www.katebushnews.com/katenews.htm](http://www.katebushnews.com/katenews.htm) and scroll down a bit. It’s an adorable kid-type drawing. Completely unexpected! The song is going to be played live on BBC Radio 2 on the Ken Bruce show. In England it’s on at 9:30am. Here in Chicago it’ll be 3:30am. You bet we’re staying up for it! Here’s the live online link: [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/index.shtml?refresh](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/index.shtml?refresh) Goddess knows how many people around the world who’ll be trying to listen at the same time. ---
