The subject line of the thread implies that there may be a book by 
Robert Anton Wilson called Wilhelm Reich in Hell. RA Wilson wrote 
the Illuminatus series in mid 70's from which the term Discordia
emanates. The mythology-web from those books is one of the main 
influences of the group KLF. Kate Bush *could* be mentioned in this
new book (if it exists) due to the Cloudbusting link. I wont bother
to check it out, but some may.
