Album by album: Kate Bush

It would be inadvisable to get carried away, but two album releases in 2011 suggests Kate Bush is returning to a more agreeable rate of productivity following almost 20 years of near hibernation. Whatever lies ahead, we can look back on a past rich with treasure. During her 33-year career. Bush has gone from theatrical teen prodigy to pagan pop goddess to wistful chronicler of the elements, following her impulses with absolute dedication. Her work remains sui generis, a wondrous alchemy of folk roots, post-punk, world music, prog rock and some ancient siren call. Uncut talks to some of those who have helped Bush craft her remarkable oeuvre.
