Albums that take you into another world never seem to have the adorable pop structures our ears need to play them as much as we'd like to. Kate Bush solved this by breaking the album into two sides, suiting both. Before you know it, it's one and the same. There isn't a more comforting voice in the world than Kate Bush's, as far as I'm concerned. From the vivid opening trio to the down right moving "Hello Earth", it's amazing to contemplate Bush did this all on her own in her studio. The word genius gets flung around so often in music culture, but listening to Hounds of Love front to back there isn't another word that seems more appropriate. It's not about single-handedly inspiring every female musician to come or making some great songs, it's about making one of the most strangest, complete, moving albums ever made that takes you into a different world every time and yet has you humming when you return back to your home in the city.
