I like this part where she laments the loss of the long-playing album:

That return to the concept-album ideal is typical of Bush's proudly 
anachronistic worldview.

"I think there's very much a short attention span that's happening with a lot 
of people now," the singer said. "With the whole iTunes and fast-forward 
buttons, it's almost like the art form of an album is starting to become less 
important.

"Albums were always very important to me. Even when they weren't running as 
conceptual pieces, you kind of got a certain shape out of listening to an album 
that I don't think you do get if you just go and select the single tracks 
that you like and make a compilation. It's a very different thing."
