Anyway, I was in Barcelona couple of weeks ago and I discovered this
interesting Spanish artist called Virjinia Glück (that's Gluck with 
umlauted u). I saw her video in local top-20 show and I was amazed of the
similarities to Kate Bush's early work. The video could have been one of
Kate's early videos where she is dancing alone and miming to the song, it
was exactly like that even with the dorky video effects. The song, Entre
Ánimas, was very heavily influenced by Kate's work. It has lot's of piano,
even Wuthering Heights-like piano intro and all that stuff of which Kate's 
music is usually recognized. She signs just like Kate did in her first two
albums, high and "strangely".

I had to go and buy her album Enter Ánimas just to listen if the whole album
was like the one I heard. And it was. An entire album of  "Kate '78-'80"-like
music and vocals. You can forget the ridiculous allegations of Tori Amos
being a Kate copycat when you hear this album. 

All tracks on the album are credited to the artist herself and she also play's
multiple instruments on the album. It's obvious that she has a lot of talent 
and all that but just trying to be the Spanish Kate is not something she 
should waste her talents to. Well.. if someone can actually do that believably
that's really something.. and she can, believe me. The album's cover and other
fotos look a lot like those on Tori's Under The Pink album. And funniest thing
of all.. she looks like a mixture of Kate and Tori (= very beautiful). All
songs on the album are in Spanish (or Catalan, I'm not sure). After I got
used to hearing Spanish lyrics the album start's to sound pretty good.

I've tried to find any information about her from the net but still without 
success.

If you're interested in obtaining this album here's the details. It's
probably only available through special import shops or one's that are
specialized on Spanish music and of course from Spain.
