Brilliant Bush

Advantages: 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Babooshka' are classics
Disadvantages: may be a bit inaccessible for some

...Recently, viewers of VH1 had the opportunity to vote for who they thought were the best female singers ever. In typical contemporary list-compiling style, modern artists like Anastacia and Nelly Furtado were deemed to be better than the likes of Billie Holliday and Dionne Warwick, whilst 21 year old Britney Spears was riding high in the Top 10, mixing it with Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner. The only British artists to accompany Britney et al in the crème de la crème was Kate Bush, a somewhat surprising appearance for an artist notorious in keeping a low profile, and who hasn't released a song in 8 years. Born in 1958, she burst onto the scene as a teenager in the late 70's and has made seven studio albums. The highlights from the five can be found on this compilation, 'The Whole Story', which was first released in 1986...

Review of Girls Aloud - Off The Record (DVD)

I hate Bush!

Advantages: Internet option could have been a good point.
Disadvantages: Gimmicky, poorly designed, heavy.

...We purchased the Bush Internet Portable Television two years ago for the meagre sum of £99. We were only after a portable TV for the bedroom at the time but this was in the same price range as other models with the added feature of Internet access so as that rather irritating advert says, "Why pay the same for less?" The Bush Internet TV in packaged in a worryingly heavy box, dragging the television out of its annoying polystyrene carton you are confronted by what can only be described as a space age style portable television. In fact it looks like a deformed helmet for Neil Armstrong. This is re-enforced by its metallic silver, curved, bubble style. It is all very 1970's. Setting up the television appears to be easy. According to the step-by-step instructions simply plug in the hoop aerial, plug into the wall and use the remote to...

Review of Bush Internet Tv

Look At My Bush!

Advantages: Great price, clear screen, good sound
Disadvantages: A brand with not a great reputation or public knowledge

...(24/10/06 - an update to this review has been attached to the end of the original, below.) I like Bush. Really, I do. No, not what your dirty little mind is telling you and not that weird guy who's apparently in charge of the planet, but Bush - you know, the electronics people. They make tellies and video players and DVD players and that type of thing, usually pretty damned cheaply, too. But that's not the only reason I like them - cheap Bush is handy to have, but it's not bad quality either. You tend to get the best of all worlds with Bush - a good price, reasonable reliability and some features to play with too. I have a 32" normal Bush TV on the television stand in the living room upstairs but, in advance of the World Cup earlier this year, I needed a large telly to go in the bar and I really wanted a large plasma or LCD...

Review of Bush IDPDP42TV008

Pleasantly Surprised by a Bush

Advantages: Good picture & sound, easy to use controls.
Disadvantages: Takes a few seconds to "warm-up".

...I am a bit of a technophobe, but thought I would write about our TV DVD combi, in the only way I now how, simply. Hopefully it will help other non-technical people out there. Our portable TV was having intermittent faults, and my family were complaining that it was so ancient that it didn?t even have a socket to plug in a free-view box. They also wanted a DVD player included in any new model that was bought. Having a portable TV in good working order does reduce the amount of squabbles about what programmes to watch, so I decided to have a look around for the best value for money one for us. I was strongly influenced by a TV DVD combi we had use of when we went on holiday, and after trying to find better value for money alternatives, I was drawn back to this model. I have had one previous experience of owning a Bush TV...

Bush Hall Hotel

Advantages: Beautiful, well priced
Disadvantages: None

...Bush Hall is situated just off of the A1 in Hatfield. It is old an old hotel and is said that it used to be Henry Eighth's Hunting Lodge. As you can imagine the building is full of character. There are newer parts of the hotel that have been added on at a later date to create rooms for fuctions / weddings etc. I shall describe in greater detail each part of the hotel. The approach to the hotel is via a log windy drive ay. The first thing you see is a foutain which is lit up at night. You see the old buildig in all its glory iwith beautiful blossomig ad trailing flowers growing up the side. You walk into the hotel and find that the whole buildig is in keeping with its era. Immediately there is a reception and following on from this is the dining room and a large bar area. The dining room is well done out with beautifully...

Review of Bush Hall, Hatfield

Who'd a thought I'd go for Bush?

Advantages: The machine will switch on.
Disadvantages: Where do I start?

...through ? or rather their warehouse stock levels didn?t come through. I was torn between other brands, but went for the Bush (triple gasp) after reading a review that said it was good. So?after bringing home my very light box full of Bush TVness, with a rather snazzy carry handle and weighing a cool 7.5kg, I popped it out of it?s box and started getting set up. What?s in the box: A flat screen TV (?phew) wrapped in plastic, a remote control, batteries, an audio cable (which I haven?t found any use for, unless some can enlighten me?), an instruction manual and a quick set up instruction manual?as well as muchos polystyrene and polystyrene crumbs. My first reaction was how smart it looked, considering it isn?t all black and glossy (a la sexy Samsung). Along the bottom of the TV is a silver strip, which looks after the speakers. I quite...

Review of Bush LY2211WCW

Lionheart-Kate Bush

Advantages: Fierce,delicate,enchantin g.All that Kate Bush is loved and admired for encapsulated in this album
Disadvantages: You stare at the cover hating youself for not looking as sexy as she does!

...Lionheart (1978) is really a beautiful addition the Kate Bush collection. The sexy album cover and lyrics like 'the more that I think of sex the better it gets' hints at the real bravery buried in this album. It's no suprise with songs like "Oh England My Lionheart", that this album did really well in England and not so well in the US. Kate Bush's vocals really do leap and dance around the music in this enchanting album. But dont be fooled by her butterfly like delicate voice, for lurking deep inside Kate is a woman who throws out lyrics heavy with ferocity like 'he's too busy hitting the vaseline' in the brilliant song WOW! This album really is amazing to listen to as its so intricate and detailed with surprises and points of interest lurking in every crevice of itself. You could really keep listening to it over and over...

Review of Lionheart - Kate Bush

Kate Bush, Brilliantly Mad

Advantages: Radical, ingenious compositions and arrangements, a motherlode of invention!
Disadvantages: Not for everyone; as with Kate's other albums, TIME will reveal the surreal beauty of these works.

...Part I. Kate Bush, musician extraordinaire, rushes in where the dull and unimaginative fear to tread. In her terrific landmark album, The Dreaming, which saw a quiet release to the unsuspecting world some twenty years ago, she crashes through the boundaries of modern alternative pop music making, whilst maintaining a strong link to her listeners--I might be so bold as to declare that with this album she forges an even more powerful bond with them. And the more you listen to the tracks, the more deeply you're drawn into her mesmerizing, wild, weird and wonderful Salvador Daliesque world. Kate has also called this her "mad album." Ah, give me intelligent madness over mediocrity anytime! What to Do While Waiting for KBVIII. Well, while awaiting her follow-up to the 1993 Red Shoes (rumored at one time to be released in ?98...

Review of Dreaming, The - Kate Bush

A Burning Bush

Advantages: Just good music
Disadvantages: none it's a great Album

...Perhaps at this time of year a little nostalgia can ease those tired parts of the body which have been slightly abused over the festive period. The ears in particular may have taken a severe pounding from your nephew or neice's latest CD. let me guide you calmly back to a time when music was......................well music. I have always been a fan of Kate Bush and when I was given this album ( The Whole Story ) as a Christmas present I was very pleased indeed. It's a trip into the mind of one of the most popular songwriter's/performers of our time. You will have over the last decade or so heard many of the tracks many times, but this does not deter from their quality in fact it simply endorses it. This is an Album that I shall be listening to for many hours during the long cold winter nights and it shall as Kate has always done...
