actually isn't that the problem for both of you?
I think that song accounts for 90% of my Kate Bush listening, at least.

― I know, right?, Saturday, 23 August 2008 17:48 (sixteen years ago) link
oh god people on the Kate Bush thread that haven't heard TUSK. Oh my god please go to your own corner and get the CD fast.
Surmounter, I don't know what to do with a "best song off Hounds of Love" thread. Sorry. But waking up to the fucking sound of engines is a damn good place to start!

I don't have any words to describe the second side of this LP.

Side Two.
― Mark G, Friday, 19 December 2008 08:41 (fifteen years ago) link
What a fucking perfect record.
― ian, Friday, 19 December 2008 08:47 (fifteen years ago) link
even the songs that got no votes are totally awesome!
― ian, Friday, 19 December 2008 08:48 (fifteen years ago) link
Ha, so true.
― Nhex, Friday, 19 December 2008 09:29 (fifteen years ago) link
I listened to Morning Fog this sunny cold morning. Perfect.

I'm a Kate Bush newbie, but I've been totally obsessed with this album recently, so so great. Had I voted I'd probably go for "Cloudbusting" or "Running Up That Hill" because I am a newbie, but holy shit the coda of "Cloudbusting", the vocals, so majestic. The 12" mix of "Running Up That Hill" on the remastered album is fabulous too. I also love "Jig of Life" and "The Morning Fog". One off the way comment: Sinead's "Troy" makes more sense to me having heard this album; it has a bit more context, instead of being this "holy shit where did something this awesome come from?" song that it's been for me for 20 years.

Didn't we have a thread about which album was best for newbies? I thought we did, but I can't find it. Anyway, I recently lent my friend my CD of The Dreaming because he wanted to try her music out (he picked it from my stacks, not me). Well of course, he didn't like it (I tried to warn him as to the uh...odd nature of that fantastic album), so I sent him home with Hounds instead. We'll see how that works out.
Supposedly The Church are covering the song "Hounds of Love" on an EP coming out soon called "The Coffee Hounds EP". Well it was supposed to be out in February anyway...
― Sleep Tundra (Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You), Friday, 6 March 2009 19:08 (fifteen years ago) link
Ha! The first Kate I heard was also "The Dreaming," which I borrowed from a friend because of the "recommended if you like Peter Gabriel" comparisons. I returned it with the comment "I don't really get this, but I have a feeling that in a year or two I'm going to love it." Which was exactly true.
― Hideous Lump, Saturday, 7 March 2009 06:24 (fifteen years ago) link
Well I seem to remember meeting a boy one night when I was a teenager who only knew The Dreaming. We ended up doing some pretty freaky drugs and looking at the stars, and then I never saw him again. But he was totally crazy about The Dreaming. Go figure.
― Hellfeed Canister (Bimble), Saturday, 7 March 2009 08:13 (fifteen years ago) link
I have The Dreaming too and I'll give it a listen. A while back I got a bunch of Kate Bush (thanks, lala!) but haven't gotten around to listening to most of it. But Hounds of Love continues to blow me away so I guess it will soon be time to venture further into her oeuvre (but not yet, I am luxuriating in Hounds of Love for the indefinite future).
― Euler, Saturday, 7 March 2009 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
The Dreaming is ALMOST as good imho.
― ian, Saturday, 7 March 2009 15:48 (fifteen years ago) link
albums where the experimental side eclipses even the marvellous pop side #1
― Dr X O'Skeleton, Sunday, 8 March 2009 22:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, my friend said that when he heard "Hello Earth", that did it for him. So we've got another convert folks!
― Goth As A Moth (Bimble), Sunday, 8 March 2009 22:17 (fifteen years ago) link
don't think i voted 'Hello Earth' in this but would do now

Pinnacle of recorded music.
― Tim F, Sunday, 8 March 2009 22:47 (fifteen years ago) link
do you (or anyone for that matter) have any other recordings of the Georgian folk song it uses?
― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Sunday, 8 March 2009 22:55 (fifteen years ago) link

No album can beat the opening two tracks on this
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 22 March 2009 22:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Everytime I hear "Running Up That Hill" I snap into "omg best song evar!" mode
― turtles all the way down (Face of Wolf), Sunday, 22 March 2009 22:57 (fifteen years ago) link
upthread here: Best song on Kate Bush's Hounds Of Love
still haven't bought the original recording on melodiya, but if 'Hello Earth' is your favorite track, you definitely want to buy yourself a copy of that Hamlet CD. I've listened to it a lot the last year.
