The most underestimated albums of all time: Kate Bush – “50 Words for Snow”
Good reviews, moderate sales. To date, Kate Bushs was difficult to market: released at Christmas time, but no Christmas plate.
On the cover of “50 Words for Snow”, Kate Bush kisses a living snowman with a scarf, as if it were a children’s book, and the album title romances romances the wrong assumption that the vocabulary of the Inuit includes 50 words for snow, which Bush confirmed by the supposedly associated imagination “Spangladash”.
Kate Bush’s ghost summon
“50 Words for Snow” is above all a ghost caution. Almost all of the songs are about visiting the hereafter. Kate Bush hardly sang, she whispered somnambul, as if she had just been woken up and was still in a dream world with her head.
Steve Gadd and Danny Thompson knock the rhythm. These seven chamber pop songs from “50 Words for Snow”-or should one better say: meditations? – extend over 65 minutes, and at least the eleven -minute ghost blues “Lake Tahoe” has now entered their canon.
The most underestimated albums of all time
Without concerts and festivals, we suddenly found ourselves back on our record collections in the evening and found: Often it is not the canonized classics that are particularly liked to put on.
Instead, it is albums in the catalog of a loved artist who seems to have to be all alone because the rest of the world has spurned or even forgotten them – misunderstood, abrasive, known masterpieces, neglected key works and plates that are simply much better than their reputation and re -evaluation.
