There was a time when, like Powell and Pressburger, I thought I was the only one who got Kate Bush, now everyone from John Lydon downwards cites her as important. That isn't to say I like all, or even that much of her music but I do reckon she's important in all the right ways.

Someone - can't remember who - called her the last prog rocker which is stretching a point but I know what they meant. Completely uninhibited and getting worse (or better IMO) as she gets older. She was a huge admirer of P and P and was going to work with Powell when he died, she had the Red Shoes.
A neo-romantic, magical realist sensibility that England once excelled at producing.
