"King of the Mountain" video at katebush.com! (I just love saying that. katebushdotcom.) You can watch the video in QuickTime for free at Kate's official site. Here's a description of the video from the Homeground news site: Kate's new video opens with an atmospheric black and white impression of Charles Kane's empty mansion full of priceless junk, whilst newspaper headlines about Elvis swirl by. Kate is glimpsed until she is seen singing and swaying to the music. A ghostly Elvis suit dances with Kate before taking wing with the Canada Geese to Shangri-La where an elderly Elvis hides in the snowy mountains with Kane's famous sled Rosebud. That's about right. Kane's mansion, black and white, snow, geese, an Elvis suit, and a sled. And Kate, of course. She looks fabulous, as little as we see her. And while it's a little weird not to have Kate dancing, acting or miming throughout, it's still pretty cool.
Two reviews of the as-yet unreleased album here:

And an interesting brief Guardian article here about recording the choir for "Hello Earth" on Hounds of Love, and how pop musicians are far more demanding in the studio than classical artists:
