Assessment Based On Books Under the Ivy: The Life & Music of Kate Bush
Fabulous read...now working my way through the ole back catalogue.

I really thought Id like this biography more than I did. While the author clearly pulled together an impressive amount of information about Bush, I found myself thinking that I didnt really get to know her. Perhaps that is because she is so private or perhaps it is because the authors perspective on her is so dominant throughout the book. Shes prettywe get it. How many times does that need to be said? His own infatuation colors his perception. He also tends to repeat himself as he gives details

The author has done a huge work and this book was a journey, even though the finnish translation wasnt that good. The book was at its best when enjoyed with Bushs vinyl records one at the time. First listening and thinking about the texts and songs and then reading what others have said about them.Though the book is really appreciating Bush as an artist (like it should be), sometimes there could be less mentions about her appearance and how stunning etc. it is. Like almost always in books about

I finally downloaded this book onto my Kindle after requesting it every Christmas since it came out. I naïvely thought I had nothing new to learn about Kate Bush as I've been an avid fan since I was thirteen and at some point I've voraciously consumed every interview on YouTube, the whole of Gaffaweb and I've read many books about her already. I was wrong.The thing that sets this book apart from its predecessors in the world of Kate Bush biographies is the meticulousness of the research and, I'm

This is the biography of Kate Bush I've been waiting for. I have some quibbles -- he essentializes gender in some insufferable ways -- but it is thorough, generous, balanced, and highly illuminating about her artistic process, which at all times remains front and centre in the narrative. The hazard of writing about music is that it is so subjective an experience that you will always find yourself disagreeing about some assessment in a music bio. (The Dreaming, for example, is often panned, but

I've been a fan of Kate Bush ever since the video for Cloudbusting blew my tiny young mind. But information on Kate was always frustratingly thin on the ground - just who is this reclusive, mystical pixie and how did she come to be? In this superb biography Graeme Thomson traces the origin of a musical genius, from the wide-eyed waif of Wuthering Heights to the the national treasure she is identified as today.In the opening chapters we learn about Kate's idyllic childhood. The daughter of an

Don't get me wrong; I adore Kate, but this review is about the book, not her.My biggest issue with this book is the confused and jumbled timeline it was purportedly following. It was so consistently jumbled that I still feel confused on the order of events and the cause and effect patterns of those events.Although less frustrating, throughout the book but especially toward the end, common presses and even direct quotes were recycled to the point of distraction. If you've nothing new to say, trim
