Kate Bush - The Sensual World (CD 1991)

I have been looking for one song in particular and after trawling hmv etc for it and not finding it,I suddenly thought why not see if its on ebay.Obviously it was, and I was over the moon.It was this womans work which most of you will recognize as the song off the tv advert For the nspcc.I won the item, despite other bidders and it popped through my letterbox 2 days later and is now permanently in my car cd player.

I bought this album when my wife was pregnant with our daughter. I thought Kate Bush would be very maternal and soothing for us both!
In fact I guess I bought it mainly for the most famous track on it “This Woman's Work.” That song of course is a childbirth classic and very much worth having in any collection.

As for the rest, some tracks are dated now, especially the one about her personal computer (you kind of wonder what it was that kept her up all night probably an Amstrad CPC with a green screen!) There are the typical hints at Romanticism which this album helped to define about Bush’s style and of course the title track which is an adaption of part of Ulysses by James Joyce

Other songs work less well and are more irritating than whimsical mixing early 90's electronica with her naturally distinctive vocals. This can bury the clever word play and make it sound all a bit samey at times. Overall though, very easy on the ear with some thought provoking lyrics, I would buy another Kate Bush album especially if I could find some cheap second hand ones.

The cd I purchased is in excellent condition. My reasons for buying ot are that firstly i'm a Kate Bush fan and secondly for the track 'This woman's work' which is incredibly moving (you may have heard it on the NSPCC ad). I also went on to find the cd version of 'the kick inside' which was Kate's first album(I recomend 'Kite' as favourite track).

I Bought this Title CDas there is one track on it which has been featured in a TV Programme recently as a background music.Having received and played the full CD I found other tracks which I enjoy.So all in all having bought it for the one trackin the fist place it was a good buy

Fantastic albumn, just go and buy it!! `This womans work` is a track of excellence in itself. Very under-rated singer and songwriter Kate Bush, but this is a true work of art.

You have to be in a certain frame of mind and then it is excellent. I wish Kate would do some live dates.

I have always liked kate bush as a singer and think her music is great, the songs are just as i remembered them. My family also enjoy her music and this cd was bought for my daughter who is another kate bush fan.

I love Kate Bush she has such a haunting voice this was an album that i had a while ago and needed to find a replacement fab ,just alot of deep meaning.

I absolutely adore this album. I lent my one out and never got it back, hence why i bought another. A very clean and in very good condition album as sent to me. top marks to the seller for this.

Was present for my sis she has been looking for this for ages only for the one song but at least she has it now thanks.

My mum had this album on vinyl from when it was first released and then decided to buy it on cd. She says the most beautiful and suggestively erotic track on the album has always been the title track. The arrangement and vocals are superb and totally faultless!!!! It takes you away to another time and place with complete ease and is a very,very classy track. x
