I was rummaging around my CDs and pulled Hounds of Love out. Has not been listened too for a few years but high time. It is still outstanding especially when looking back at so much of the dross that has been produced by other recording artists since 1985. Definitely a high water mark. Hello Earth is just finishing and merging into The Morning Fog, which is just an amazing finish for a truly remarkable recording. Highly recommend for those looking for something a little out of the mainstream.

In 1985 I bought the record and wore it out, literally! Then I bought the cassette and played it till it broke about a year ago. Bought the CD and still listening to it to this day. No one else, other than the Beatles, would cause me to do this. Kate Bush was awesome then and still is today. Do yourself a favor and run, do not walk, to get this CD. While you're there pick up Kate's "The Kick Inside" and listen to two Kate's! Both awesome in different ways.
MOST ALBUMS THAT ARE POPULAR ARE OVERRATTED TO SOME DEGREE,AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM...IVE SPENT ALOT OF TIME TRYING TO GET WHAT EVERYONE ELSE GETS ABOUT THIS ALBUM AND THE REALITY IS,ITS NOT THAT GREAT!....BASICALLY MADE FOR {IN MY OPINION PETER GABRIEL FANS OR TALKING HEAD FANS}...KATE TRIES REALLY HARD TO EXERCISE SOME PRODUCTION SKILLS AND VERSATILITY ON THIS ALBUM BUT TO ME ITS SPREAD A BIT THIN!......POPULARITY ON THIS ALBUM PROBABLY DRIVEN BY VIDEOS OR THE FACT THAT SHE'S A WOMEN DOING SOMETHING SO CALLED ARTSY HAS BRAINWASHED MANY INTO THINKING THIS IS SOMETHING SPECIAL AND IT ISNT...THE REALITY IS THESE SONGS ARENT THAT CLASSIC...THERE OLD SOUNDING,CHEESY,AND TO ME A BIT CHEAP...KATE LACKS A BIG HEART BUT HAS A BIG EGO AND THE RESULTS SHOW IT....AN E FOR EFFORT MAYBE BUT A C SUBSTANCE....SO THINK FOR YOUR SELF....DONT LISTEN TO WHAT "THEY" SAY...EVERYTHING IS NOT A FIVE STAR OR A 1 STAR ALBUM.....LISTEN TO THE SONGS NOT THE HYPE AND YOULL FIND THIS ALBUM IS JUST PRETTY GOOD!!
