Highschool soundtrack album! Omg we listened to is album a billion times and it sent us all into the discovery of Kate Bush........next thing I recall is that I had all her albums and became a fan for a lifetime! Hounds of Love is an extraordinary album with its musical duality with side one devoted to the hits and side B devoted to more the exploration of sound and themes.
Side one features some of Kate's most pop-sensitive moments ever recorded with somgs like Running Up That hill, The Big Sky and Cloudbusting. Side two is clearly music in ode to dreams which runs more like a dream sequence.
THE musical moment of this album for me is the short prayer "and dream of sheep" which just gets me everytime!
Orchestration on the album was handled by Michael Kaman and that ends up making a huge impact on the overall feeling of this recording.
So many hi points to mention all but the addition of John Williams on guitar on "this morning fog" is just simply beautiful.
Breathtaking music for a lifetime ........the hounds of love are haunting me!!!!
