Description

The 80s production sharp edges on drums etc have presumably been smoothed down a bit in remastering, more in keeping with the production of her later albums.

I wouldn't say 'Wuthering Heights' is because Running always charts, more radio-friendly, and so on! It's her most accessible pop album but the dreaming is her best art and wuthering heights is one of the best songs of all time. All three new editions of Hounds of Love will be released on 1 December 2023 via The state51 Conspiracy.

On a whim note, I found it surprising that the 'Running Up That Hill' music video never won any prestigious music video award! Greatly emboldened by the advances of the digital age, the ever-experimental Bush went one further, building a home studio and developing her latest new material to her satisfaction, subsequently dividing the end product into two distinctive sections. Disjunctive, idiosyncratic and so very, very inventive, Kate Bush's 1985 magnum opus, "Hounds of Love", was the intentionally streamlined yet defiant response to complaints regarding her efficiency in the studio and detractors of the lyrical and structural esotericism inherent in her work. I now listen to the likes of Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie (Lady Gaga inspired this choice mostly), and so on, due to this album! And yes, my system is set up correctly, and not suffering from the issues I’m having with this pressing).

The color is absolutely gorgeous, the vinyl is almost perfectly flat, and the mastering is as good as it should be : clean and quiet. Hounds of Love is of course Bush's most famous single, and her second most famous single, 'Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)' as mentioned above, also makes it onto this album, proving why it is deserving of the classic status it has long held.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Inside The Boxes of Lost at Sea are two vinyl records, described as “UV print on a side without grooves, on white vinyl. It deals with big issues - childhood fantasy and trauma, conflict, sexuality - but rarely lapses into pretension. The title has received universal acclaim and has been enshrined into pop-culture history Q magazine readers voted Hounds of Love the 48th greatest album of all time, while two years later the same magazine placed it at number 20 in its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever". The album spawned three other top 40 UK singles in ‘Cloudbusting’, ‘Hounds of Love’ and ‘The Big Sky’.

In 1985, when MTV was reaching the peak of its viewership and veteran British acts were suddenly experiencing more pressure to adapt and take new directions, she finally broke the notoriously imperious American market. Waking the Witch' is bloody amazing, I love the beginning dialogues, and the last minute and a half! Kate Bush has delivered on her promise of ‘special presentations’ of her classic 1985 album Hounds of Love with three new editions, none of which offers any new audio. Should it have been on a 2 vinyl set, perhaps a limited a run of 45 rpm would have been nice, but actually the sound is excellent and I don't really think you want four sides, it's a lot of flipping disks, especially side 2, as flipping half way would be intrusive to the ninth wave IMO.Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.
