From the press release:
“Deeper Understanding’s prescience of web-age alienation seems quite remarkable” – Mojo
Kate, is releasing her new album Director’s Cut on May 16, and has directed an amazing short film to accompany the release of the current single “Deeper Understanding”. The film stars Robbie Coltrane as a successful businessman who is so obsessed by his computer that it leads to the break-up of his family (Frances Barber plays his wife) and, ultimately, his demise.
In an extraordinary sequence of shots, Coltrane is taken over by the spirit of the computer (played by Albert Bush, Kate’s son) , is reborn and seeks to exact revenge on the spirit, tracking it over London to a room inhabited by Noel Fielding. Revenge is absolute, resulting in the death of Fielding’s character…and a surprising ending.
The film was conceived and directed by Kate and produced by Michael Solinger. It was shot over 5 days in London. The amazing visual effects were worked on by Ben Perrot of Destroy All Monsters and Matthias Lindahl from Fido.
“Deeper Understanding” first released in 1989 is perhaps even more relevant today as technology and computers begin to dominate our lives and leave us with little time to dream as technology and computers play an increasingly dominant role in our lives.

From Mojo Magazine: “In the June issue of MOJO, we speak exclusively to the peerless Kate Bush about her return to music. Following a five-year silence, the influential artist speaks to MOJO (and only MOJO) about self-doubt, playing live, why she has decided to re-record tracks from two of her previous albums, her NEXT album, and what the estate of James Joyce have to say about it all. PLUS! A full career overview of her genius and Tricky, Antony and other stars assess her greatest work.” (thanks to Louise for the cover image) More about Mojo here.
Steve Lamacq’s BBC Radio 6 Roundtable review programme played Deeper Understanding this evening and as well as discussing the record, writer Keith Cameron mentioned that he has just interviewed Kate about the new album for a forthcoming Mojo Magazine article.

London, 11 March 2011
Kate Bush releases an unusual new album “Director’s Cut” on May 16 on her own label Fish People, in conjunction with EMI.
On “Directors Cut” Kate revisits a selection of tracks from her albums “The Sensual World” and “The Red Shoes”, a process that presents a fascinating portrait of an artist in a constant state of evolution. She has re-recorded some elements whilst keeping the best musical performances of each song – making it something of a director’s cut but in sound, not vision.
A new version of “Deeper Understanding” will be released as a single in April. Although written some twenty years ago, the song may be more relevant today than ever…
Kate is currently working on new material although no release date has been set for this.
“Director’s Cut” will be released in the following formats: Digital Album, Standard CD in a case-bound book, Deluxe CD (three disc package, including Director’s Cut, The Sensual World and re-mastered The Red Shoes) in a case-bound book and two-disc vinyl. Other digital and vinyl formats will be made available on katebush.com. Details will be published shortly.
