Kate Bush: Hounds of Love (EMI America)
Steve Matteo, Spin, January 1986
IF KATE Bush had been a writer instead of a musician, she might have written something like Alice in Wonderland. She writes children's songs for adults, constantly drifting into girlish dreams, while maintaining a vibrant sense of romantic adventure. Every little daydream and all her fragile emotions are projected in a fantasyland of poetic imagery and off-beat music. With traces of classical, operatic, tribal, and twisted pop styles, Kate creates music that observes no boundaries of musical structure or inner expression.
