My legs were pulled away when I heard it. It is one of the best tracks I have heard in a long time, and IMO miles better than the original. It's smoother but also pore powerful than the original. Besides two great vocalists it features two guitar players, three drummers and three synthplayers (including some nice synthharp playing on a Q-chord).
If possible it's worth having a look at it. The track starts at 25 minutes: Spleen United & The William Blakes - Running Up That Hill
Nothing beats the original. Kate's voice is 95% of the track.

When I think of Kate Bush, I firstly always think of this track and video:

Well Im not a fan of her voice and the original track is boring in the length, so I prefer this new one. I like their vocals over many, and the music itself includes the typical factors that turn on my musical interest

Funny... many Danes find the Dutch language the most bizarre in the world.

Im quite surprised how easy it was to understand Dutch... on paper. Languages are different when spoken. It wouldn't surprise me that Danish sounds like a pile of wooden sticks falling to the ground. It's just impossible to listen to your mother tongue language, with a foreigners ears.

It just sounds as if the palate must hurt when Dutch people speak.
