Pitchfork review: “With her self-produced fifth album, Kate Bush became a total auteur, embracing the possibilities of digital sampling synthesizers and creating a perfect marriage of technique and exploration. She became the most musically serious and yet outwardly whimsical star of her time. She held onto her bucolic childhood and sustained her family’s support, feeding the wonder that’s never left her. Her subsequent records couldn’t surpass Hounds of Love’s perfect marriage of technique and exploration, but never has she made a false one.” Full review here. Score: 10/10.

“I wasn’t an easy, happy-go-lucky girl because I used to think about everything so much, and I think I probably still do.” – Kate Bush
