Whole Story, The - Kate Bush

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: none

Hello and welcome to the review that should have been here. It was here but its not here now as I have taken it and put it into my private stash somewhere else. It may well appear somewhere else online and if it does it will have my name on it. Thank you to everyone, to all the people in my COT over the years who have stuck by me and who have been great influences over the reviews I have written. It is indeed a sad case that reviewers have to come ...
...sense at all when the original content should be listed and frankly because of endless problems with Ciao I no longer have the time and energy to carry on. Each time I tried, it didn't work. Each message I sent to other members, they didn't appear. Each rate I applied, it didn't show. So that's the end of it. Ty for reading. ... Read review

Advantages: Great songs, Great talent
Disadvantages: Sometimes a bit out there

...could be levelled at 'The Whole Story', at last the perfect Kate Bush recording.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Wuthering Heights' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Piercing, majestic, musical homage to Emily Bronte's startling novel of ghostly love on the moors, this was a massive hit single and totally, wonderfully unique, introducing Kate Bush to an unbelieving world. Even today, 23 years later, it's a startling piece of work with that chilling ...
...soaring vocal went roaming freely all over the place over a track driven mainly by her own piano playing. It builds from an understated and quiet opening into a huge, operatic piece that rattles the shutters and wakes the dead. This represents a unique moment in rock history and if she had never done anything else 'Wuthering Heights' would have still stood as a masterpiece, at the same time romantic and mysterious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Cloudbusting' ...

Advantages: a great collection of songs from a brilliant, unique artist
Disadvantages: doesn't cover her later material

The Whole Story is Kate Bush's 'best of...' album. It was released in 1986 and covers her first five albums. It contains a good selection of songs and is a good starting point for anyone not familiar with Kate already. The five albums from which the songs are drawn (The Kick Inside, Lionheart, Never For Ever, The Dreaming, and Hounds of Love) are very different in feel - Kate is known for daring to be that bit different - and this collection is really ...
...are a total of twelve tracks on the album and these are described below. WUTHERING HEIGHTS This was Kate's first ever single and must be her most famous song. It is literally like no other song I have ever heard and sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it. The song is based on Emily Bronté's novel of the same name and is sung from the perspective of Cathy's ghost coming back to haunt Heathcliff. "Too long I roam in the night I'm coming ... Read review

Advantages: Great Music, Good Lyrics, Very relaxing
Disadvantages: Her high voice annoys some people

...I love them but the Whole Story is definetly my favourite. I used to listen to it every day but that was a bit of an overdose so i have cut down. It was first released over 15 years ago- back in 1986. It is all of her songs from her previous 5 albums starting with her debut single Wuthering Heights which was written in 1979, when she was only 19. The Tracks ................................................. 1. Wuthering Heights (4.58). The album ...
...Price ............................................ The Whole Story can be purchases in many good music shops such as MVC and Tower Records. It is priced between £9.99 and £13.99 depending where you get it from. amazon.co.uk sell it cheaper but you have to pay postage and packing on top of the price. Shops like HMV sometimes have a sale on old albums - 3 fro £20 or something. Keep your eyes peeled. Overall .................................................... ... Read review

Advantages: Unique sounds from a musically imaginative artist.
Disadvantages: Not likely to be to the popular taste.

...reading a rave review. 'The Whole Story', however, remains as an excellent showcase for Kate's wide-ranging talents. ('The Dreaming' and 'Hounds of Love' display Ms Bush at her creative peak, though.) Choice Cuts, in No Particular Order. 'Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy I've come home I'm so cold Let me in your window . . . ' ...wails Kate Bush in this superhit of the late '70s that left an indelible mark for Ms Bush on the music industry. 'Wuthering ...
...unique, refreshing, stimulating, mind-altering sounds. Remarkably enough, none of the songs feel dated--since Kate followed no musical trends except those springing from within herself. If you've grown tired of the sameness and predictability in the non-classical music sphere and are seeking something totally different,'The Whole Story'might just be the answer. ... Read review
