LP – 180g Black Vinyl
Though not the most prolific of album artists, Kate Bush‘s works make up in impact what they lack in frequency. Her style and material has always been unique, eccentric even, but Hounds Of Love is probably the strongest mix of controlled musical experimentation and lyrical expression. It deals with big issues – childhood fantasy and trauma, conflict, sexuality – but rarely lapses into pretension. The intense arrangements are perfectly matched to the subjects: Running Up That Hill climactically erotic, Cloudbusting broodingly triumphant. and it’s all her own work.
