For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we’ve rustled up a “120 X Ray” segment on the incomparable Kate Bush that aired as part of the Jan. 21, 1990, show, about three months after the release of her sixth album The Sensual World. The interview is spliced up with some weird, conversational voice-over.

Amid rumors that the stage-shy singer somehow will participate in Sunday’s London Olympics closing ceremony, Kate Bush apparently is set to release a new remix of her best-known hit, ‘Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God).’ A listing for a 2012 remix of the song was up on Amazon.co.uk, although it’s now been removed.

Still another week before the release of Kate Bush’s new album ’50 Words for Snow’ — a 65-minute collection featuring ‘seven brand new tracks set against a background of falling snow’ — but you can now stream the full record in advance of its release via NPR Music.

Kate Bush this morning announced she will release a brand-new album called ’50 Words for Snow’ — a 65-minute collection featuring ‘seven brand new tracks set against a background of falling snow’ — in late November on her newly launched record label, Fish People.

Rumors have swirled all year that the studio-shy Kate Bush is working on new music and now we have the most concrete evidence yet: Mark Poston, chairman of EMI Music Australia, tells a newspaper Down Under that he’s expecting to release a new Kate Bush album in November.

This week’s new releases include Kate Bush’s new ‘Director’s Cut’ and five reissues; four 2CD reissues from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds; Peter Hook’s ‘1102/2011′ EP of Joy Division covers; The Replacements’ ‘Don’t Tell a Soul’ on vinyl; and a 2CD reissue of the Go-Go’s ‘Beauty and the Beat.’

The first new album in six years from Kate Bush — ‘Director’s Cut,’ featuring 10 reworked tracks off 1989’s ‘The Sensual World’ and 1993’s ‘The Red Shoes’ — arrives Monday in the U.K., and, on this side of the pond, NPR is giving fans an early listen with a full-album stream.

Fans of Kate Bush this morning got another sneak peak at her forthcoming collection ‘Director’s Cut’ when the singer released a sample of a third track off the album, ‘Flower of the Mountain.’

A week after revealing the tracklist to her forthcoming collection ‘Director’s Cut’ — featuring 10 retooled songs form 1989’s ‘The Sensual World’ and 1993’s ‘The Red Shoes’ — Kate Bush today dropped a sample of a second track off the album, ‘Lilly.’

Kate Bush returned to the studio to record all-new vocals for the 10 tracks off ‘The Sensual World’ and ‘The Red Shoes’ that comprise her forthcoming collection ‘Director’s Cut,’ the singer announced today, revealing both the set’s tracklist and its first single — a reworked ‘Deeper Understanding.’

The first tease of Kate Bush’s upcoming ‘Director’s Cut’ album — which revisits tracks from ‘The Sensual World’ and ‘The Red Shoes’ — has surfaced online: a 30-second sample of the new version of ‘Deeper Understanding’ that finds Bush’s incomparable vocals run through Auto-Tune on the chorus.

It’s been rumored that Kate Bush would be releasing a new album this year, and that’s sort of true: The singer this spring will issue ‘Director’s Cut,’ a collection that revisits tracks from 1989’s ‘The Sensual World’ and 1993’s ‘The Red Shoes,’ according to Mojo magazine.

Kate Bush is set to reissue four key albums — 1982’s ‘The Dreaming,’ 1985’s ‘Hounds of Love,’ 1989’s ‘The Sensual World’ and 1993’s ‘The Red Shoes’ — later this year as rumors continue to swirl that she plans to release brand-new material in 2011 as well.
