I have a very broad range of taste in music. 37 years later it remains timeless, just like the freaky Bowie tunes of Scary Monsters. It's just a great story, so well crafted and performed, And that affects because it is just so daring and so perfectly executed. Listened to the Ninth Wave the other day. I haven't listened to HoL singles in a while. Teenage Wildlife, Because You're Young, and It's No Game 1&2, bears repeated listening, like the Ninth Wave. These three songs are great no doubt, but the others are, well, kinda scary and describe a perverse and threatening world. All the songs of that incredibly great record that did not get a lot of radio play happen to be my favorites, not Fashion, or Scary Monsters, or Ashes to Ashes. Not the same, but similar for me is David Bowie, Scary Monsters. Side A are all brilliant standalone singles. The Ninth Wave is an extended narrative tale. It’s some of her best sequencing work and I love listening to those 4 songs and the way they flow into each other.īoth sides of HoL are entirely different. So I end up listening to Disc 1 out of familiarity, as it’s got the songs I’ve listened the most over the years.Īlthough not a sectioned album at all, Tori Amos’ Under The Pink has a very strong last third that I play on its own quite often. It’s the most exciting journey from her whole discography to me.Īlso, there’s a triple album by Joanna Newsom that I have to be in the mood for, as it’s quite lengthy. I love the way it crescendoes and finishes with a bang.
Fate leads them to Vicki Maloney, a teen who. While I adore A Sea of Honey, I tend to give preference to its bigger, more ambitious brother. In 1987, murderous couple John and Evelyn roam the streets of Perth, Australia, searching for their latest victim. It’s less than half an hour anyway, so it’s not a hard task.
#Hounds of love full#
While I try to listen to Hounds in its entirety, I do gravitate towards The Ninth Wave too, which I can’t split up and need to give a full listen.

The music video for the Futureheads version was filmed at a public park in Los Angeles at night. 89 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". 8 on the UK charts in its first week and was named Best Single of 2005 by NME. "Hounds of Love" was covered by English post-punk band the Futureheads for their self-titled debut album and was released as a single in February 2005. "Alternative Hounds of Love" is not a remix, but an early version, with slightly different lyrics. It was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's thriller film The 39 Steps (1935) and a Hitchcock lookalike also features in the video (a nod to the director's famous cameo appearances in his movies).Īll songs written and composed by Kate Bush, except "The Handsome Cabin Boy", which is a traditional composition. Faroese singer Eivør also covered the song in 2010 on her album Larva.Ī music video was made for the song, which Bush herself directed. The song was performed live for the first time as part of the 2014 Before the Dawn residency, in which the lyrics were slightly altered.Įnglish post-punk band the Futureheads covered the song in 2005, scoring a UK Top 10 hit with it. 21 in its list of the 50 greatest British songs of all time. In October 2004, Q magazine placed this song at No. The words "it's in the trees, it's coming!" heard at the beginning of the track are sampled from the British 1957 horror film Night of the Demon and are mouthed by an actor from the film, Reginald Beckwith, who plays a medium channelling a character played by Maurice Denham, who provides the voice. The versions worldwide differ slightly: the US single mix included an additional chorus just after the second chorus. The song is about being afraid to fall in love in the song this feeling is compared to being chased by a pack of hounds.
