First Reaction to Kate Bush - Hounds of Love

[@DAVECHER]

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) full updated thoughts/review: www.albumoftheyear.org/user/davecher/album/6495-hounds-of-love/ uncut reaction on patreon: www.patreon.com/DAVECHER

Cloudbusting - great track, definitely a grower. You should check the video to it with Donald Sutherland in it. You may wanna explore more of Kate Bush - great artist

Nice! Cloudbusting is my favorite Kate song of all time - perfect balance of emotional playing and lyrics.

[@phattebytch]

She co-produced 1980's Never For Ever and has self produced everything since 1982's The Dreaming. Great to see your reaction to this, it remains my all time favourite album. Hope you have fun exploring her catalogue, she's an extraordinarily talented artist.

This is Dave's mom. I just want Dave and his viewers to know how proud I am of him! This young man has a brilliant creative mind. His videos blow my mind! 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. And better than that, he is kind, loving, loyal, and honest. I feel so blessed to have him as my son. Love you so much Dave.

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

Since you liked the "weirder" stuff best on this album, you should get a kick out of the one just before, The Dreaming. She did very good stuff before and after these two, but to me, The Dreaming and Hounds of Love show her at the peak of her creative powers, when she took full control.

For "Hello Earth": This little part at the end is indeed in German: "Tiefer, tiefer! Irgendwo in der Tiefe gibt es ein Licht." meaning "Deeper, deeper! Somewhere in the depth, there's a light."

Superb reaction. The songs I thought you would dislike, you loved. I am so glad you went on this journey with such an open minded. 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.

[@davidsweeney4021]

For God's sake, she's fecking brilliant. I let my daughter listen to as much of Kate's work as possible. So she could know what women can do. My daughter's song for me is "Cloud Busting". Kate is not just for women she's for everyone

Cloudbusting is an awesome track. The simplicity and repetition of drums and strings paints the clouds gathering in the sky and echoes the struggle and effort to make them. It’s a brilliant track and well worth a re-listen or two when you have some lazy time available, perhaps on a gloomy day…

So much fun to watch someone listen to this album for the first time. You are in for a treat because Kate has a large body of work, it’s all excellent, there are a boatload of B-sides to discover, and every album deserves multiple listens, they get better the more you hear them. The Ninth Wave and Hounds of Love are among the great masterpieces of music by any living artist.

[@stever7732]

Nice reaction, and update. You’ve probably already seen the Running Up That Hill music video but have you also seen the videos for Hounds of Love, Big Sky and Cloudbusting? 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.

[@simonvernau3373]

I enjoyed your reaction. You’re very perceptive as she indeed staged The Ninth Wave as part of her 2014 London residency. It was probably one of the best nights of my life. Also well done for listening to the tracks in order. Kate spends a lot of time on sequencing the tracks in all her albums and is horrified by the concept of shuffle!

[@rainerzufall42]

[@d.t.nelson8805]

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.

My first video of yours and it was fun to see your reactions, especially to Waking The Witch. 😁👍🏼 Your opinions on the record are totally on-point.

The synth is actually a real cello sample played on a Fairlight, a granular sampler synth, which she used predominantly throughout this album. It was the first album she produced using this instead of a piano.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Actually that's not true, The Dreaming is the first album Kate Bush that was totally self-produced. She did a bit of co-production on Never For Ever using the fairlight synthesizer but The Dreaming was her first fully self-produced album not Hounds of Love.

[@jemchurch1260]

Just found your reactions, The Dreaming and then this. FANTASTIC to see someone of your age ( not patronising ! ) listening and enjoying epic musics ! Was nice to see you drift into 'eyes closed' mode for a bit. That's how good music should be, but goes against "entertaining YT" vids. I was 19 when this came out and I bought it asap.

glad you reacted to this :) cloudbusting is my fave

[@leslieturner8276]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWOYZ6uabrNlbdE 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.

If you dare mention cheese or Disney again in relation to this seminal and unique album……we.l I can’t finish for fear of being arrested!

[@Ozymandi_as]

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.

[@funkat-nm2ex]

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.

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.

Please no leave her alone... I can't believe you compare her with Disney

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.

"Disney Vibes, Disney songs...Cloudbusting is boring... the songs don't sound like ruth" = why don't you go to play on the highway?

It's funny how jaded the young are these days.

I complemented this album endlessly throughout the entire video and all you take away is the one little nitpick I have? Go outside... touch some grass.

Classical guitar is cheesy? I think you're a little bit cheesy.

good one Jon

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.

[@drg3712]

dude, you cut out ‘I found a fox…’ you mentioned it but cut it out.

[@14478100]
