5.9. Miscellaneous (Kate Bush Music)
December Will Be Magic Again
This is originally a single on its own, but has now been used in
almost too many singles as a b-side (Experiment IV, Moments Of
Pleasure (UK)), and is quite often used on Christmas samplers by EMI.
Two of these featured an alternate ('bongo') version of the song.
Experiment IV
This is the 'teaser' for the semifans on the sampler The Whole Story.
Rocket Man
Candle In The Wind
The Elton John cover version Rocket Man appeared on the Elton John
and Bernie Taupin tribute album Two Rooms featuring a whole bunch
of cover versions. Rocket Man also is available as a single where
it is backed with another EJ cover, Candle In The Wind, which is
available in a normal and an instrumental version.
Brazil
This cover of the 30s song was originally supposed to be included
in the film of the same name. Unfortunately it was left out. But
we were lucky, since the soundtrack for Brazil (which only appeared
in 1992) includes the song.
Fruitopia Commercials
Kate did the music for nine commericials only seen on American TV
for Fruitopia, a line of fruit drinks produced by Minute Maid (which
is a subsidiary of the Coca-Cola company). There was also a longer
advertisement seen in movie theatres which Kate also did the music
for. Another series of Fruitopia Commercials just started, the
first one being spotted during a commercial break of the '95 Academy
Awards show. The British versions of the Fruitopia commercials don't
contain Kate's music, but rather Elisabeth Fraser from the Cocteau
Twins. The original US commercials (i.e. those with Kate's music)
do have caleidoscopic effects, short subtitles, and just Kate's music
on the audio channel. Kate's voice can be heard, though there are
no words to be understood.
