I have a few Kate Bush albums and think she is a marvellous songwriter. For me her first album "The Kick Inside" is by far the best but the rest of her albums are still outstanding. Steed

My all-time favourite female singer. I remember buying Hounds Of Love in 85, I had probably just bought a Smiths 12" or a Chameleons r Pale Fountains album, so she was one of very few 'Big star' artists that I appreciated. I would have been 19 at the time.
I only recently (last few years) found the feature-length version of Hounds Of Love. By the way, my wife (then girlfriend) was a 17-year-old nanny in a house next to the one where Kate was recording Hounds Of Love album and remembers the drumming being played over and over, and says she remembers, what was possibly Kate's father walking the two dogs, from the album cover, through the alley along-side their house/studio.

Great little anecdote Parker cheers for sharing Kate sure was a stunning looking woman as well as being a very talented musician. I love the way she sticks to her guns with the musical direction she wants to take. Typical of the press in this country they say she's bonkers for doing it that way. They're obsessed with her not wanting to be mainstream or tour.

I love the way she sticks to her guns with the musical direction she wants to take. Typical of the press in this country they say she's bonkers for doing it that way. They're obsessed with her not wanting to be mainstream or tour. I'm doing a bit of catching up on old posts I've missed, and I've just come across this. I don't know how I've missed it for so long. The video for Cloudbursting is amazing. It’s seven mesmerising minutes long, with Hollywood actor Donald Sutherland playing the role of an inventor of a giant machine with silver pipes. Kate’s there, dressed like a boy from the Fifties, with a short red Dennis the Menace wig, Fair Isle cardigan and dungarees struggling to push the machine up a vertiginous hill. It's a tribute to Wilhelm Reich, who’s invention of an ‘ orgone accumulator’ landed him in prison where he died. Another of his inventions was the Cloudbuster, the fantastical rainmaking machine that features in the video. The video was made and produced by none other than Julian Doyle (Life Of Brian) and Terry Gilliam (Monty Python). Kate makes Cloudbusting a song of consolation; where rain becomes not sadness but a moment of hope and reconciliation, where “something good” might still happen again. No wonder it is considered to be the perfect balance between visuals and song.
