# The Indulgent Kate Bush

I bought Kate Bush’s Aerial yesterday, and it’s, ooh, about the most
indulgent album I’ve ever bought.

- It’s a double album.
- The discs have names: the first is A Sea of Honey and the second is
  A Sky of Honey.
- The second disc has both a “Prelude” _and_ a “Prologue.”
- One song consists of her [reciting the digits of
  pi](kate-bush-aerial-pi.mp3). (Also, the song is called π, not pi.)
- Another ends with bits of whispered, breathless French.
- Another starts with a very softly-spoken sound engineer
  [saying](kate-bush-aerial-dark-accents.mp3): “Yeess, I need to get
  that tone a little bit lighter there … maybe with some dark accents
  coming in from this side. Mmmm, that’s good…”
- The title track has [Kate Bush
  giggling](kate-bush-aerial-giggling.mp3) for over a minute, to the
  sound of birds chirping.

It’s very lush and mostly pretty though.
