...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI.



..::OPIS::..

Kate Bush przez wiele lat nie rozpieszczała fanów swoją osobą. Nagrywała rzadko, nie występowała w ogóle. Dlatego cały muzyczny świat w marcu 2014 roku zelektryzowała wiadomość o tym, że Angielka zaplanowała 15 koncertów w londyńskiej hali Hammersmith Apollo. Bilety rozeszły się w takim tempie (w 15 minut; witryna Bush nie wytrzymała milionów fanów, próbujących zamówić wejściówki online), że do listy występów dodano jeszcze pięć. We wrześniu 2014 roku Kate dała pierwszy koncert od 1979 roku!

Reakcje na koncerty Kate Bush były entuzjastyczne. Chwalono zarówno jej formę wokalną, jak i imponującą oprawę występów, przygotowaną z dokładnością do najdrobniejszego detalu. Pochwały zebrali też wspierający artystkę muzycy.

Na szczęście dla tych, którzy w Londynie być nie mogli, występy były rejestrowane, a efektem tego jest właśnie wydawnictwo "Before The Dawn". Ukaże się na trzech kompaktach i czterech winylach. Kate zadbała o to, aby na kompakcie odpowiednio został oddany konceptualny charakter koncertów. Pierwsze CD kończy się utworem "King Of The Mountain", który jest pomostem dla kompozycji "The Ninth Wave" z kompaktu drugiego.
Za produkcję odpowiada Kate Bush. Artystka nie zgodziła się na żadne poprawki czy "dogrywki". Wszystko na płytach brzmi tak jak podczas koncertów.


Before the Dawn is the second live album by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush, credited to The KT Fellowship. The album was released on 25 November 2016 by Bush's label Fish People, and is distributed in the United States by Concord Records. It was recorded in 2014 during Bush's sell-out 22-date residency, Before the Dawn, at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, which saw her return to the stage following a 35-year absence.
The album has been certified Gold in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry.

As with the residency, the album is split into three parts, comprising seven miscellaneous songs, the complete Ninth Wave suite from Hounds of Love, and A Sky of Honey from Bush's 2005 release Aerial. Presented in the same order as the original show, the album's performances are culled from various shows throughout the residency.

Before the Dawn contains the song "Tawny Moon", performed by Bush's son, Albert McIntosh. It also contains the track "Never Be Mine", which did not feature on the Before the Dawn residency, but was recorded when the show was performed without an audience for the purposes of filming the production.

Following two years of speculation, the album, released as three-CD and four-record pressings, was officially announced on 29 September 2016; the track "Prologue" was also shared.

Kate Bush commented:
It was an extraordinary experience putting the show together. It was a huge amount of work, a lot of fun and an enormous privilege to work with such an incredibly talented team. This is the audio document. I hope that this can stand alone as a piece of music in its own right and that it can be enjoyed by people who knew nothing about the shows as well as those who were there. I never expected the overwhelming response of the audiences, every night filling the show with life and excitement. They are there in every beat of the recorded music. Even when you can't hear them, you can feel them.

The track "Prologue (Live)" was made available for streaming on 28 September, before "King of the Mountain (Live)" was released as a promotional single on 21 October, and "And Dream of Sheep (Live)", along with an accompanying piece of film used during the concerts, was made available as the album's official single on 18 November 2016.
