MOOPY ALBUM SYNC LISTENS #8 - KATE BUSH - HOUNDS OF LOVE - 8pm Tuesday 26/05 (1 Viewer)

[AGinAg (38)]

I ADORE Dream of Sleep.

I'm a sucker for a lullaby.

 

[octophone]

The sheer guts to have a suite on side 2 of yr first album in 3 years. And it draws you in within seconds.

 

[COB]

Did I see you at Before The Dawn? I think we glanced eyes on the way to/from the toilet. Did we mention this at the time?

Yes, I was in a right old daze and didn't realise it was you until later

 

[Tisch]

ADOS was so powerful at the Before The Dawn tour. Just a video of her floating, with her "little light" blinkering throughout. And her FACE. Noone does expression quite like her. And I'm sure the vocal was all done in one take and was more or less a live rendition.

 

[Tisch]

Yes, I was in a right old daze and didn't realise it was you until later

Oh I think I was completely the same

 

[Iguana]

Yes, I was in a right old daze and didn't realise it was you until later

OMG I forgot about this!

Queen of getting hypothermia for her art

 

[Iguana]

Under Ice is one of the most haunting songs. Oh God that realisation at the end of the song...

 

[dmlaw]

YouTube tried to skip songs in spite of saying that they were all there. I've switched to a different playlist which seems to actually have everything. I'm just going to pretend that I had to get up and turn over the LP.

She learnt from the BEST! (Safura)

It's me...

I just actually CAN'T //

On side 2 you literally CANT skip tracks! How dare they!

 

[Iguana]

There's something moving under....?

 

[Iguana]

It's me...

 

[Iguana]

IT'S MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOAOAOOAOAOOOOAWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[octophone]

The sharpness of the strings here is so evocative of that extreme cold.

 

[Iguana]

Sorry, it needed to be done

 

[Tisch]

That first "...it's me..."

CHILLS.

 

[Iguana]

The sharpness of the strings here is so evocative of that extreme cold.

It SOUNDS like ice, how the fuck did she do that

 

[Iguana]

The next bit to get me is the 'Look who's here to see you '

 

[AGinAg (38)]

WAKE UP!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

11 Running Up That Hill
10 Hounds of Love
08 Big Sky
08 Mother Stands For Comfort
10 Cloudbusting
09 And Dream of Sleep
08 Under The Ice

 

[Tisch]

When she announced the tour I remember JOKING about "haha I'd love to see her do Waking The Witch live".

WELL I WAS SHOWN!

 

[COB]

Where...?

There!

Where?

 

[octophone]

This is almost like a radio drama now and yet it doesn't sound kitschy or hackneyed...it's hallucinatory, hypnogogic...

 

[Iguana]

Iguana fact: The Devil is in fact Kate, pitched down. She later said she wished she had an actor play the role.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Now this is fucking ART POP!

 

[octophone]

Iguana fact: The Devil is in fact Kate, pitched down. She later said she wished she had an actor play the role.

Well she will insist on rushing her albums...

 

[Iguana]

I love how the 'Help this blackbird' line carried though Parts 2 and 3 of Before The Dawn

 

[Tisch]

11 Running Up That Hill
10 Hounds of Love
09 The Big Sky
07 Mother Stands for Comfort
10 Cloudbusting
10 And Dream Of Sheep
09 Under Ice
09 Waking the Witch

But this is comparing them all against each other. In general it's 11s across the board really! Such genius!

 

[COB]

I'm sure there's a technical music term for it that I'm forgetting or don't know, but I adore how the different songs use elements of each other (like backing vocals from this appearing near the end of Jig of Life, and the 'talk to me' bits cropping up in Watching You Without Me).

 

[Iguana]

Iguana fact: This helicopter sound is lifted from Pink Floyd's The Wall. She said she couldn't find another sample

 

[COB]

Yes! I remember GASPING when that happened, and suddenly the visual similarities between the fish and the birds made sense... ugh her mind!

 

[dmlaw]

After ADOS and Under Ice, I though I knew what to expect from side two. I was not correct.

 

[Tisch]

Watching You Without Me is my absolute FAVE.

I cried.

I died.

I wish you hadn't told us that. I hate "The Wall".

She does need to get rid of the bloody fish imagery on her recent releases though

As in on first listen, or this time? Or is this your first listen?
