![]() Hounds of Love is unique in that it is the only album I’m aware of that fuses two seemingly incompatible musical acts into a perfect whole. Still, at the ripe old age of 13, I was aware that Kate Bush and her Hounds of Love came from a world hitherto undiscovered. Karen Carpenter and Ella Fitzgerald were favourites of my mum’s Madonna was fast becoming fundamental to my sexual and musical education and Whitney Houston was about to release ‘Saving All My Love for You’, the 12†vinyl of which I cherish to this day. Back then, I only ever listened to female artists. Standing in front of the Radio One Roadshow stage, framed by a bruised Lancashire sky, the drums of ‘Running Up That Hill’ pulsed over Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach… and life would never be the same again. I can trace the exact moment my obsession with Kate Bush began to earlier that year.
