The artwork on the cover is an original portrait of Kate Bush, made by the incredibly talented Debi Bowes. (Thankyou, Mrs. B.) image

Once again, the photograph that inspired Debi was taken by Kate's multi-talented brother, John Carder Bush.

Recommended records

KATE BUSH - Complete discography (each album off Kate's "Katalogue" is worth a mention...see studio albums...)

ALICE - "Il sole nella pioggia" (EMI 1989) (probably her best record ever. Includes collaborations with international musicians as Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri, Dave Gregory, Peter Hammill, Paolo Fresu)

PETER GABRIEL - "So" (Virgin 1986) (his critically and commercially acclaimed album, including "Sledgehammer" and Kate's heartfelt vocals on the duet for "Don't give up")

TORI AMOS - "Little earthquakes" (EastWest 1992) (her first solo album, a cornucopia of controversial, mind-blowing lyrics and sounds, accompanied by that unique voice)

THE TRIO BULGARKA - "The forest is crying" (Hannibal 1988) (direct, deeply emotional and extremely moving vocal harmonies that will make you cry with inner joy)

Disc two: Prelude/Prologue/An architect's dream/The painter's link/Sunset/Aerial tal/Somewhere in between/Nocturn/Aerial)
