Marmalade: Yeah, you really get another, deeper understanding (pun intended) of Kate Bush after you start to dig deeper in the lyrics (something I usually don't do -I hardly ever notice what most artists are singing actually). It's a bit the same with Stereolab, really... it's dum-de-dum (or love or whatever) until you start digging deeper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_XswHm514w
A nice summary of the early theories of Reich by the pro-situationist Surveillance Camera Players of New York - http://www.notbored.org/reich.html (better than reading the book, actually - it's a bit dated).
Shambles: I had Fatty Boom Boom on repeat when I was still at uni, excellent for handling stress on the subway... now I had all but forgot it. Good thing you bright it to attention again! I can understand that some people really, really think it's crap (bit of an acquried taste perhaps), and perhaps it doesn't stay in your mind for so long either (my mind is an example, obv.) but now I can't wait until this damnable cold and all these fucking blizzards give way for summer, dancing and walking really quickly in the Stockholm subway, listening to Die Antwoord
It's alright ,'cause the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
You see the recovery always comes 'round again
There's nothing to worry for things will look after themselves
It's alright recovery always comes 'round again
There's nothing to worry if things can only get better
There's only millions that lose their jobs and homes and sometimes accents
There's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's alright
It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing

Don't worry be happy things will get better naturally
Don't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy
Dumb, dumb, dumb, de dumb dumb, de duh de duh de dumb dumb dum... ah ah
Dumb, dumb, dumb, de dumb dumb, de duh de duh de dumb dumb dum... ah ah
