The disc is similar to Hounds of Love/The Ninth Wave in that Hounds was more poppy and the Ninth Wave was more of a musical poem. I love that whole record but have always preferred The Ninth Wave.
The new one is divided into A Sea of Honey and A Sky of Honey. Sea is not really pop as much as Hounds was but there is a distinct difference in that Sky feels like more like a "piece" and Sea feels more like a collection of songs. I wrote earlier that the jury was still out on the first disc (Sea) but I have spent more time with it today and I love the whole thing.

Subject: Re: kate out today
"Not that anyone asked." Well, David, I think it's always kind of
implied that we will very quickly share the love (or whatever) with the
siblings. Whether or not it gets said often enough, I believe that we
all are very appreciative of other opinions. I have grown to love this
list. I belong to a few other 'artist web post' done 'on site' thru the
'net, and have stopped visiting them as there seems to always be some
immature moron that feels compelled to come out on the side of hate for
any given topic. I used to be offended by them, but now they simply
bore me.
I am anxious to hear some new Kate, it truly has been awhile. Funny,
though, or maybe not funny just ironic, that the three or four reviews
I've read pretty much came out the opposite of your review. They all
felt the second disc, from what I understand, is more of a musical
'poem', lush with texture and those soaring vocals. The other three or
four seemed not to 'get it', which is understandable. I have nothing
against youth, in fact, I used to have it! But I have a hard time
buying into a review from someone that maybe doesn't have the 'world
experience' to review something like Kate Bush's newest or Jane's
'Hush'. I know I'll get a response or two from some of our younger
siblings, but I don't mean to take anything away from the vital energy
that I receive from the people in my life that are half as old or more.
I thrive on it, their energy, their likes and dislikes, their 'take' on
things, etc. Please don't think me some jaded oldster longing for my
misspent youth. Not jaded, not misspent, just older and opinionated!!
I'm stopping short of 'curmudgeonly'!!
Big love,
Ben T

I just finished listening to the whole thing. For me, the jury is
still out
on the first disc. The second disc is phenomenal. I have been a fan
for
decades and I think this is up there with her finest work.
Not that anyone asked.
David.
