King Of The Mountain
So the news that the new Kate Bush single had its first airing on Radio Two's Ken Bruce show was met with some excitement in our household.
Having listened to King of the Mountain, I'm a little in two minds - on the one hand, it's great to have new Kate Bush material available (and a whole double album coming in less than two months time!), but on the other, I did listen to it expecting it to take off in a way that it just doesn't. I need to listen to it more I think.
Someone or other (music journo for one of the papers) was extremely off-hand about it on Radio Four's Front Row this evening.

I heard it on the Mark Radcliffe show that evening, and I was a bit underwhelmed at first. Having listened to it a few more times since in better conditions I’m starting to warm to it. It’s not her best single – it’s not even in her top 10 for my money – but it’s not bad at all.
Needless to say, I’ll still be buying the single and the album when the time comes.
