As it happens, there is already a Kate Bush tribute album in the making. I
must add, however, that it's moving too slow IMHO. 
I am talking, of course, about Kate Bush Covered, the project I am
coordinating. 
This is not a star-tributes-other-star thing, this is a true and honest sign
of affection from fans to Kate. 
I am calling, yet again, for people reading this to record a version of one
of their favourite Kate Bush songs (this may be a cappella, MIDI, with a
band or solo, whichever way you see possible) and sending the recording to
me. I will then compile these recordings and send it to each of the
contributors. In a way, this is a private project, until I receive word from
Kate's music publisher that it may be distributed - and even then it will be
on a strict non-profit basis. 
Cheap and enjoyable are the keywords here - but my previous experience with
"Tori Amos Covered" has proven that these keywords don't stand in the way of
nice, high-quality music. 

I hope there will be lots of people thinking "Hey, this sounds like
something _I_ would want to do", in which case you can send an email to me.
I will then inform you more precisely on what to do. 

BTW: I already received two recordings and these are wonderful reworkings of
Kate Bush's original songs... not to be missed!
