This is the latest in the series of albums that I've been picking up for a fiver in my local DVD store. God I love the 'crisis' in the music industry.
I was aware of this album when it came out in 1985, and remember the two big singles 'Running Up That Hill' and 'Cloudbusting'. But by and large Kate Bush passed me by at that time, as being in a class divided by Smiths and U2 fans provided plenty of distractions.
So I've listened to it twice and sure enough Running Up That Hill is superb and a fantastic intro to what promises to be an interesting and at times surrreal journey through what's arguably one of the most enduring records of the '80s.
So what's the OTF collective view on the Hounds of Love? Is it an iconic album (as a quick bit of googling seems to indicate)?
