KB: I was very ambitious at that time, maybe over-ambitious. It´s the spaces between the sounds (the original word may have been “nuances”, though a verbal translation does seem Katier) that are more important to me now. Music becomes more and more precious to me, the older I get. That´s why I allow my music to be a bit more vivid and let it breathe.

ML: At the end of the album, it sort of gets out of control. You slur your voice as if drunk, the band is rambling. Do you mean to destroy the myth of Kate Bush?

KB: If the album´s finale sounds like the destruction of a myth, I can be pretty content with your evaluation, because, seriously, on other records there are ideas that were created in a pretty knackered mood. (Here the german translation is irritating, I´m sure she said “knackered” and he translated it into “stupid”.)

ML: But then, your body of works is being discussed as a holy kingdom of pop.

KB: I never challenged or asked for the serious interpretation and evaluation of my music. A sense of quality does not exclude humour.

ML: Do you have an ideal or predecesor for that?

KB: Frank Zappa was a very smart man. He said that, as an artist, you can live a free and untamed life, in case you have a solid family life. I love this idea.

ML: Why?

KB: I´ve never met Zappa, but people who have portray him as a very dear person, different from his image. I have always preferred my privacy over my public life, because I work best with a stable home base. The idea that the artist who suffers ist the best doesn´t apply to me. I work better, when I´m fine.

Thanks Fred. I also enjoy Kate Bush and have for years. To find out that she has an admiration for FZ is the icing on the cake.

kate bush is kinda cool, but... I don't know, she seems a little bit too pretentious for my taste.
I liked 'hounds of love', but that's about it. still, she's ok, I guess.

So, you're a bit of a hound of love are you Lumpy?

I like that one she did with Peter Gabriel....Don't Give Up?

Even better is the song she did with Roy Harper in the album "Unknown Soldier" ... way better, although Peter's is a little more pop oriented for my tastes.
