A team full of creatives was responsible for bringing the captivating and satisfying reunion. Stede’s Mermaid Tail So impressed was Ravenscroft with the young composer that he asked him to produce a solo album. “It was a great experience because I was getting to play with incredible musicians like Des Moore, Deon Estus and Don Hogan, but I never got paid for my work because the money ran out.” British music icon Kate Bush celebrated her birthday at the weekend. Thanks to the most recent season of Stranger Things, the singer songwriter is having a resurgence – what a birthday present. With her legendary 80s song, Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), hitting the top of the charts just about everyone is Kate obsessed again and we love it.

She has an extremely clear impression of the atmosphere she wants to create, but how she achieves that involves experimentation. On Hounds Of Love we were using Fairlight and Linn drums a lot, and they’d come out with these funny little sounds which you might think weren’t very interesting, and she’d say, ‘Isn’t that wonderful? Isn’t that great?’ She’d make it great, and that’s the mark of a genius. She’d have a little kernel of an idea that would develop into a huge blossom. A very curious spirit, she wanted to find out about things, she was questing all the time.” Wuthering Heights was Bush's debut single and remains one of her top two biggest hits, along with Running Up That Hill. Bush later called Hounds Of Love her most complete work. “In some ways it was the best and I was the happiest I’d been compared to making other albums. I had time to breathe and work creatively.” Indeed, she has never sounded so imperious, or displayed such mastery of her talents, as she did on Hounds Of Love.

She is able to put the emotion and the expression of what she's saying in her lyrics into her dancing as well. So it's a double kind of a bonus with Kate Bush," McNally said.

AVA MAX sings about the end of a relationship on her new tune – but she won’t be single for long with photos like this. One senior official told the newspaper that the palace was willing to hold the event while excluding those diplomats. “People in Downing Street and the Palace were happy to withdraw the invitations, which would have made clear the Queen was signaling her disapproval,” the official said. “It is a missed opportunity.” You may also opt to downgrade to Standard Digital, a robust journalistic offering that fulfils many user’s needs.

Good will triumph.She was a notoriously hard taskmaster, often driving musicians to distraction trying to capture the atmosphere she wanted. “She would do lots and lots of takes and I could never understand why,” says Max Middleton, who played organ on Never For Ever. “Normally with other musicians we’d do it again because it was too fast or slow or you’re playing the wrong chord – something very definite – but she was looking for something nebulous that was hard to pinpoint. She wasn’t doing it again out of sheer belligerence, she was looking for something that no one else could see.” Unlike many classic albums, though, Hounds Of Love is much more than a historical document. At a time when everyone seems desperate to show their hand, the innate sense of mystery feels more powerful and relevant than ever. A fiver says Joanna Newsom has studied the way in which it leads the listener into a mythical, self-contained world, while the mixture of its flat, futuristic samples, pagan symbolism and ancient, pounding rhythm echoes through the work of Fever Ray, Natasha Khan and Florence Welch. Indeed Bush has had an influence on almost every notable female artist of the past three decades, each indebted to her insistence on maintaining control, her boundless imagination, her determination to transcend accepted notions of femininity in both song and appearance. Hounds Of Love was launched at the London Planetarium on September 9, 1985. “Running Up That Hill” was already a Top 3 hit, Bush’s biggest single since “Wuthering Heights”. Almost fainting with relief at its hit potential, EMI had convinced her to change the original title from “A Deal With God” to avoid causing offence in overtly religious countries. Though unhappy about the decision, for once she put commerce before art. After the trials of The Dreaming, she realised that resisting would be akin to “cutting my own throat”.

Stay tuned for additional interviews and content as the second season of Our Flag Means Death unfolds. The Ninth Wave” appeared daunting – Melody Maker’s otherwise positive review shuddered in its boots at the mere idea of it – but in “And Dream Of Sheep”, “Hello Earth” and “The Morning Fog” it contained some of her very finest, most awesomely affecting songs. Of course, it also featured chattering Geordies, harsh helicopter blades and violent witch-drowning, but that’s the beauty of Hounds Of Love: the deeply emotional and thrillingly berserk sit side by side. This ethereal cover was released for the B-side of Running Up That Hill, Under The Ivy in 1990. Her thin pencilled brow is reminiscent of old Hollywood stars of the 20s, and Kate embodied what was the current trend, as grunge became more popular. Her thin, dark brow and smokey eye complimented this perfectly, whilst staying true to her cottagecore aesthetic.

How Kate Bush Entered the Music Mix

The red lip remains one of the most versatile looks today, adding an extra layer of seduction, rebel and chic to any look. On The Dreaming Bush envisaged combining these twin elements, applying a wide, wild palette of sounds to a foundation of hard rhythm. She abandoned the standard band-in-a-room approach and instead embarked on something more layered and opaque. She mic’ed up 12-foot long strips of corrugated iron to evoke the sound of cannons, or fed guitars through banks of harmonisers and reverb plates, sending the notes leaping up in octaves. Hugh Padgham, the producer credited with creating the gated drum sound, engineered the album’s early stages. “I couldn’t bear it after a bit, actually,” he says. “She didn’t really have any idea of the sonics and didn’t understand why, if you put 150 layers of things all together, you couldn’t hear all of them. She didn’t really want to listen. As far as I was concerned, when we were doing those sessions it sounded shit. It pissed me off, actually.”

Minor Detail had signed a huge record deal and US executives were flying across the Atlantic by Concorde to see them at Windmill Lane. It’s safe to say Kate Bush has been having a moment on TV since last year’s “Running Up That Hill” needle drop on Stranger Things, but music supervisor Maggie Phillips says, “This Woman’s Work” was selected before Netflix‘s hit made headlines with their use of the aforementioned song. “When we were placing [the song in the season lineup],” Phillips says, “it was maybe weeks after Stranger Things, and I was worried that we would look like copycats.” It wasn’t a demo, it was a working start, and we carried on working on the original,” he recalls. “Del had programmed the Linn drum part, the basis of which we kept. We spent time working on the Fairlight hook, but the idea was there, as was the wind-train sound and her guide vocal. It was obvious to me that Kate had finally found a groove. We worked a lot on the Fairlight part which, incredibly, reminded me of the synth line in ‘Atmosphere Strut’ by Cloud One. I was very happy to push the groove.” The studio became an inclement place to work, a hostile micro-climate of smoke, chocolate, Chinese takeaways and far too little sleep. Towards the end “she was exhausted,” says Hardiman, who describes the final push as “hours of crippling tedium with occasional bursts of extreme excitement.”

While the scene may play as emotional and romantic, the story behind getting Stede’s mermaid look from Australia to New Zealand was actually quite comical. “[Egan] sliced two suitcases in half, filled [them with the mermaid tail], and then when it went through customs, the customs guy said to her, ‘Are you bringing fish into this country?’ And she’s like, ‘Yes, yes I am.'” Two-Piers the label has brought to you such wonderful compilations as the Pop Psychédélique, Garage Psychédélique and Lounge Psychédélique compilation series introducing the listener to the worlds of French Psychedelic Pop, Garage Psych, and Lounge and Exotica Space Age Bachelor Pad Music, Waves of Distortion (The Best of Shoegaze 1990-2022) and Music for The Stars (Celestial Music 1960-1979).
