Info on "New" Kate Bush album Directors Cut

One of my favorite musical artist's is about to re-imagine some of her previous work. Kate Bush is getting ready to release Directors Cut in May. This will be a re-working of her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes. I am especially interested in this project because I took the name of my blog from the song Love and Anger from the album The Sensual World. Kate is working on new material as well, but this will tide us over till that happens. Here is the info from the official press release on her Facebook page:
Kate Bush releases an unusual new album “Director’s Cut” on May 16 on her own label Fish People, in conjunction with EMI.

On “Directors Cut” Kate revisits a selection of tracks from her albums “The Sensual World” and “The Red Shoes”, a process that presents a fascinating portrait of an artist in a constant state of evolution. She has re-recorded some elements whilst keeping the best musical performances of each song – making it something of a director’s cut but in sound, not vision.

A new version of “Deeper Understanding” will be released as a single in April. Although written some twenty years ago, the song may be more relevant today than ever…

Kate is currently working on new material although no release date has been set for this.

“Director’s Cut” will be released in the following formats:

Digital Album, Standard CD in a case-bound book, Deluxe CD (three disc package, including Director’s Cut, The Sensual Word and re-mastered The Red Shoes) in a case-bound book and two-disc vinyl.

Other digital and vinyl formats will be made available on katebush.com. Details will be published shortly.
