    changes after more listens: - I failed to mention that Kate Bush produced this entire album?! Man... Kate Bush rocks.
    - "Cloudbusting" has grown on me quite a bit, and "Mother Stands For Comfort" is probably my least favourite now (it's still amazing of course)

When he puts his mind to something he is interested in, he always excels! He is a talented musician as well. You may not know that he plays the piano and cello and has an amazing singing voice.

Kate takes so much care and thought over her work and it's great that you responded in such a positive way. Every album takes a few listens to get into. Prepare yourself if you decide to listen to 1982''s "The Dreaming." Her first time as sole producer with full control and the ability to experiment as much as the record company would allow. Only now hailed as a true masterpiece.

    I was one of the very lucky people who manged to get tickets to see her live in 2014, (Tickets were gold dust). As part of a 3 1/2 hours set she did the whole of The Ninth Wave. The whole thing was incredible, the dance, the effects were done by the same team that produces James Bond films. The artistic dircetor was from The Royal Shakespeare Company. What a mix of talents but then it is Kate Bush! Her vocals from the start to the and were amazing. The muscians were incredible. It was cross between a full on rock concert and a full on opera. Seen a lot of gigs and concerts, West End /Broadway Shows but nothing quite like this. I mention all this as during your reactioin you mentioned how cinemagraphic it all felt. If you really liked the Ninth Wave then try the live album version on 'Before The Dawn' album it’s amazing. Anyway really enjoyed your reaction. The more of an open mind you have the better with Kate Bush.

Kate’s videos (usually directed by her, or with her input) are an art form and support the storytelling of the song. The iconic Cloudbusting video being a great example of this.

    Hounds of Love is what is know as a Concept Album. Rather than individual songs, everything is meant to be listened to in orderand taken as a whole. There were a number of artists who did this in the 70s and 80s (it really started in the 60s). Pink Floyd, The Beatles, STYX, Queen, The Alan Parsons Project all comes to mind. Concept albums can be as simple as having a common theme running throughout all the songs, but some (Like Pink Floyd, Enigma, and, of course, Kate Bush) add a more theatrical flair. Song often blend one into the other without a pause, and while the lyrics are important, it is really the overall experience that is key.

That image of her future self angrily demanding that she choose to live instead of giving up stops me in my tracks. "This moment in time-- it doesn't belong to you. It belongs to me, and your little boy, and your little girl"... wooooooow. Also, the music video for "The Big Sky" cracks me up

    Great reaction and so glad that you liked this iconic album.
    You mrntioned about a live performances, well in 2014 Kate had a 22 date concert residency in London (all tickets sold out in 15 minutes), I was one of the lucky ones to see the most unique concert that I have ever seen, a mult media mixture of pop concert and theatrical production which was split up into a number of separate acts. Act 2 was a complete performance of "The Ninth Wave" the initial track "And Dream Of Sheep" a prerecorded live performance projected onto a massive screen, the actual video is here: ruclips.net/video/_256xd9N27o/видео.html
    The concert was called "Before The Dawn" and the entire performance has been released as a live album of the same name.
    I see that you found out that Kate produced the album - it entered straight into number 1 in the UK album chart, knocking Madonna off the top spot.
    Indeed Kate was the co-producer on her 3rd album "Never For Ever" which also reached number 1 and then sole producer on every studio album that followed.
    So Kate's 4th album "The Dreaming" was the 1st one where she was the only producer and it's her most experimental "out there" album and 1st one where she makes extensive use of the Fairlight CMI, which was used on some tracks in "Never For Ever" as well. Kate had 1st become aware of the Fairlight when she was worked with Peter Gabriel.- she supplied backing vocals on two tracks on his 3rd album.
    By the time thaf "The Dreaming" was being put together Kate had mastered the operation of the Fairlight and also used it very extensively on "Hounds Of Love".
    In fact Kate is multi-talented a singer/songwriter, musician, dancer, record producer, video producer and director. Kate is regarded as being a musical icon and pioneer who has inspired/influenced countless musicians/artists who have followed her. Recently numbers were estimated to be well over a hundred!
    So if you are up for challenge 😀 then I suggest that you give "The Dreaming" a spin.

    Yeah this is my favorite Kate Bush album. I never got into Running Up That Hill, but absolutely love every other track. Her previous album The Dreaming was very experimental with weird/out-there drums on every track, bizarre lyrical themes, and predictably it flopped. I assume she wanted to write a few pop songs to get played on the radio etc this time, in part explaining the lack of cohesion with Side B.
    She has actually only toured twice in her entire career -- the first time in 1979 and the second time in 2014 -- and she performed Side B in full on that second tour. It was officially released a few years later and I ended up liking a few songs more than the album versions.

      It's weird, isn't it, that anything that sounds exotic to the American ear is automatically associated with Disney. I guess that if the average person in the US knows anything at all of foreign cultures, they must encountered it through the windows on the world and other cultures that are those massively popular Disney cartoons! But Disney cartoons are made primarily for children, and therefore have a high cheese content. Ergo, any 'ethic' or folk music is immediately identified as Disney-esque, and therefore cheesy. It is bizarre. How could anyone listen to the musicians of Planxty letting rip in The Jig of Life and think of either Disney or the blandest Monterey Jack - they are fire! Unfortunately, American culture is all too often infantilising, I fear, and treats other cultures as charmingly quaint backdrops to the familiar innocent romances and heroic comedies of Hollywood fairytales, which routinely strip all the darkness and the drama out of the stories from which they were taken. Thus protected from anything that is sinister or frightening, even in the abstract, little Johnboy and Marylou go laughing merrily to school, where they learn how they might improve their chances of surviving the very real threat of a mass shooter walking into their classroom and opening fire. That takes processing fear to a whole new level, by normalizing it, and so guaranteeing that every year, a new cohort of school shooters will graduate, each prepared for their own brief moment in the spotlight. So they misses the point of fairytales, which is to introduce kids to lear about concepts of good and evil in story form, not internalise and emulate them in reality. Crazy.

    You had a lot of tens. That's a good summary of Kate Bush's music, a whole lotta tens. The Dreaming, her previous album to Hounds of Love is better, but less successful commercially.

    "THE NINTH WAVE," Side Two of "The Hounds Of Love" is Kate Bush's greatest work. Her best album, to me, is still "THE DREAMING," but as a piece of incredible music, THE NINTH WAVE can't be denied. Adventurous, Invigorating, Daring, Thrilling... and ultimately, a beautiful tear-inducing ending. Masterpiece.

    The two sides of the album are actually two totally different things. The 1st side is called “Hounds Of Love” is all of the hits and more accessible songs. The 2nd side is called “The Ninth Wave” and is a 7 song conceptual piece beginning with “And Dream Of Sheep”, about a woman surviving abandoned at sea trying to survive. My favorite Kate Bush album is Never For Ever (1980), but “The Ninth Wave” is my favorite thing that Kate ever did. Cloudbusting grew on me. It always used to be my least favorite, but now I really love it. The whole album grew on me especially the 2nd side.

    One year too late but I hope you give this a try! Very good songs are Babooska, This womans work, and breathing, too! Espcially Breathing ,you need the lyrics for that one, too! It´s really worth it! And please don´t zip through it! please listen to it fully! Even if it is just in private! Great reactions!

    The albums are the ‘theatre productions’. Her songs are all different because of where the inspiration for a particular song comes from. (It’s part of the reason you won’t find many ‘top ten hits’ with her name on them.)
    You need to read an album cover, where they list the musicians and the instruments they played. (Paddy Bush is 1 of her older brothers and Del Palmer was her boyfriend when she was in her 20s and early 30s), she often has more musicians and instruments in 1 song than some have on whole albums (it’s not all synth-music, the music is made with a vast array of natural sounds).
    She was ahead of her time, which makes her timeless.
    Her fans are fans and her haters hate her, she does not make music to please an audience she makes music for herself - if people like it ‘good for them’, if not, ‘move along’.
    You’ve copped some flack for your ‘Disney’ comments and finding Cloudbursting boring. The song is meant to have a military cadence, to underscore the run-in with authority juxtaposed with the sad and at the same time optimism of the child’s experience. I think with the Disney comments you are saying it sounded a bit ‘twee’. (Kate pre-dates the new wave of Disney.) Possibly because it was meant to sound that way. Like any artist, the whole picture is built by deliberate layers. Humans don’t live live on one level, we have up and downs and whole lot of nothing in between. Kate’s songs are usually about some form of human experience, we all have ‘twee’ (light, irrelevant, that some might even find cringe worthy) moments, that does not make them any less relevant than heavy drama or uncontrolled laughter.

    I've never heard anyone mention Disney in connection with Kate Bush's music before so that's as original as Kate's music. 😆 Obviously some fans got their knickers in a twist but after only one listen opinions can change and overall you were very positive about Hounds Of Love. The great thing is that you're diving into the eccentric and weird world of Kate Bush and that's a good place to go!

      @@DAVECHER If people object to the Disney comments that's okay but some fans will always overreact to these things and then blow things out of proportion. Kate may have been more commercially successful in the US if she was more Disney like , thankfully she has always gone down her own artistic path and here in the UK she's a national treasure for doing that! Keep up the good work Dave.

      Although Hounds of Love tracks calmed the nerves of her record company after the anxiety provoked by The Dreaming, I think it was still done very much on Kate's terms. If those songs were not intended for her fans, that has not prevented her fans from loving them! And they continue to capture new fans, and direct them to The Ninth Wave.

    Part of the confusion is that the track list you have on the screen doesn't identify The Ninth Wave. Originally it was the B side of the album and clearly defined. On the track list you have, everything from "And Dream of Sheep" to the end is The Ninth Wave.

    You seem to miss out on the actual tunes and concentrate on the trivial stuff. The album is over 30 years old so the sounds and production were constrained by the technology of the time but it still sounds pretty good but it’s the melodies and lyrics that will stand the test of time. This album has been remixed and I’m not sure which version your listening too but it my be better to hear the other one.

  • @johnsebastianalday5698

    Great reaction 🔥
    I was quite young when I first saw/heard Kate Bush.
    It was a DVD compilation of 80's music videos
    The song was "Cloudbusting" (1985).
    From then on became one of my favorite artists.
    Kate is definitely in a league of her own who inspired many artists who came after her (Tori Amos, Bjork, Lorde to name a few).
    Kate is every bit of a theatrical/visual performer/storyteller as she is a musical genius/writer/artist and her extensive/legendary discography proves it.
    If this album is trippy, it will be wild to have you react to Kate's album "The Dreaming" (1982)
    Now THAT is an experience
    P.S. Kate does not have a full live show for "The Hounds of Love" due to stage-fright. Kate has only done a full tour once (for her debut album "The Kick Inside" (1978), a few live performances over the years (Award Show(s) and/or TV Program(s) and a Limited Run of Shows in 2014.
