The silence finally broke with Aerial in 2005, which was preceded by a high-charting single, ‘King Of The Mountain’, which returned her to the UK Top 5 for the first time in 20 years. The ambitious album followed a format established by Hounds Of Love, comprising one collection of linked but independent songs and a longer set on what, in the vinyl era, would have been the second side. The album sold solidly but Kate’s promotional appearances to support it were limited and critical acclaim outstripped its commercial performance. None of this would likely have mattered to the enigmatic artist who was more determined than ever that her output is appreciated on its own terms. Hermes, Will (8 March 2019).

The frustrating bit, of course, was that all of the actual albums contained within the REMASTERED sets were already available separately, but that particular compilation was not. Fortunately for those fans, we’ve just rectified that situation: as of this past Friday, THE OTHER SIDES – a four-CD set – is available independently.

I’ve been reorganising my life,” she would say when grilled about what she’d been up to. “There’s nothing else you can do when you’re making an album: it completely obsesses your life. We moved from the city the country and built our own recording studio.” Recorded 14-16 March 1987 at PWL Studios, The Borough, London, in aid of the ferry disaster on 6 March 1987.Hermes, Will (8 March 2019).

It was a real challenge to precis the whole mood of a book into such a short piece of prose. Also when I was a child I was always called Cathy not Kate and I just found myself able to relate to her as a character. It’s so important to put yourself in the role of the person in a song. There’s no half measures. When I sing that song I am Cathy. Kate sings a line. The 5:18 version was included on a 1990 CD compilation "WWF Project El Dorado - Saving The Tropical Rainforest" A-side originally recorded in Nov 1979, produced by Kate Bush and Jon Kelly. It was never released, but was updated in early Nov 1980
