Midge URE/Kate Bush

Yep.  You've got it: Kate Bush is singing background vocals on
"Sisters and Brothers".  The track is excellent.  I read here (before
the temp.  LOA of gaffa.  WELCOME BACK!) that Kate just had Midge send
her the tapes and then she added the vocals.

Any comments on this: One review I read of _Answers to Nothing_ said
that Midge Ure was trying to emulate (without success) Peter Gabriel
-- going as far as also doing a duet with Kate.

I guess I find Midge's work solid enough to stand on it's own and
don't agree.

And not to forget to mention Kate's name again:

Phew!  I finally got a VCR AND found a place where I could rent _The
Whole Story_ video.  I found that I liked the videos that Kate
produced better than the others.  These were typically the ones
without Kate singing in them.  I really liked: Cloudbursting.
Experiment IV. HoL.  They were creative, have excellent
cinematography, and compelling.
