Subject: The Oct. 28 _Billboard_, continued.
Well, I managed to get my own copy of the Oct. 28 _Billboard_, as I said I would yesterday. Here are the details: First, as I said, "Love And Anger" entered the Modern Rock Tracks chart at number 13. In the place where the label and number go, it says, "Columbia LP Track". This is the strongest evidence yet that, at least at the time this chart was made up, there was *no* single available for the public to purchase. I hope a real single does come out sometime. Incidentally, the song would have debuted even higher if it weren't for the fact that KITS, which is a major contributor to this chart, perversely continues to play "The Sensual World" instead. The entire staff at Nob Hill Florists requested it this morning, and it was played for them. Anyway, back to _Billboard_. There's a full page ad for the album. It is a picture of the album, and on the right side it says: KATE BUSH "THE SENSUAL WORLD" A NEW REALM OF SENSATION WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE ON COLUMBIA Next, there's a short (like all _Billboard_ reviews) review of the album. It's listed under "Picks", which is a good sign. In fact it's the only album listed under that category this week. Here's what they say: KATE BUSH The Sensual World Producer: Kate Bush Columbia 44164 Besides her incredible voice, Bush's strongest point has always been her ability to acutely sum up female sensuality without ever crossing the line between erotic and crass; being tantalizingly coy without being too cute. She achieves all that on this, her first new studio album in four years. Additionally, this is some of the most intriguing, ethereal music she has written. She's greatly aided by Bulgaria's Trio Bulgarka on several cuts, including "Between A Man And A Woman." Also tops are "This Woman's Work," and "Love And Anger." Yes, I know that the Trio does *not* appear on BAMAAW. But who cares, as long as the review is good?
