    you hit the mood and the intent perfectly,, the story behind the song is about Wilhelm Reich who was a psychoanalyst and spiritualist, he believed humans were influenced by what he called "orgone" energy
    organon is the name he gave to his farm house where he did his research.
    he was famous for building a "cloudbuster" rain making machine, this song is based on the book "the book of dreams" written by his son and tells the story about the adventures and hardships of living with his controversial eccentric father.

    When this album came out, I played it constantly. My girlfriend liked it, but thought Cloudbusting was "monotonous". Then one day she called me, all giddy & gushing at how she now absolutely loves the song. Why? She had seen the video on MTV & now "got it". ua-cam.com/video/AJll-eF5zUA/v-deo.html

    this is a magical album - i just love Kate Bush but you have to do side 2 as one - side one are brilliant single songs and side 2 is a unit that has to played together - a masterpiece. Also the video is really good with Donald Sutherland - this quote from DS about the video " Barry Richardson, who was the hairdresser on Nic Roeg’s 'Don't Look Now', asked me if I’d do a music video with Kate Bush. I told him no and we went on to other conversations. A couple of days later there was a knock on my door. I lived in the Savoy Hotel (in London). On the river. Suite 312. I loved it there. So cosseted. So private. Only the floor butler rang the door. I opened it. There was no one there. I heard a voice saying hello and I looked down. Standing down there was a very small Kate Bush. Barry had told her where I lived. What can you do? She wanted to explain what her video was about. I let her in. She sat down, said some stuff. All I heard was ‘Wilhelm Reich’. I’d taken an underground copy of his 'The Mass Psychology of Fascism' with me when I went to film (Bernardo) Bertolucci’s 'Novecento' in Parma. Reich’s work informed the psychological foundations of Attila Mellanchini, the character Bernardo had cast me to play. Everything about Reich echoed through me. He was there then and now he was here. Sitting across from me in the person of the very eloquent Kate Bush. Synchronicity. Perfect. She talked some more. I said OK and we made ‘Cloudbusting’. She’s wonderful, Kate Bush. Wonderful. I love that I did it. (What do I remember) about doing it? I remember being in the car and the hill and them taking me, taking Reich, away and looking back through the back window of the car and seeing her, seeing Reich’s son Peter, standing there. And I remember the first morning on set seeing her coming out of her trailer smoking a joint and I cautioned her, saying she shouldn’t smoke that, it’d affect her work, and she looked at me for a second and said she hadn’t been straight for nine years and I loved her."

    Great Song, and great analysis as always! The original music video Kate produced to go with this song is like a mini movie outlining the narrative, with Donald Sutherland playing the inventor father, and Kate as his young son. It has a very steampunk vibe to it. I always liked the line about the yoyo that glowed - special and dangerous - referring to the fact they used to paint toys and watches with radiumluminescent paint to make them glow in the dark.

    The whole song is in March time which gives the feeling of moving toward something and you're so right how Kate "weaves" her voice through that marching toward... feeling. It's full of a sense of elevating as if the march is somehow skyward maybe in just looking up. I recall very fondly of leaving Claymont Court one fall with three fellows where we had all been studying with Mr. Fripp and I was taking 2 to Dulles Airport and another to Union Station in D.C. and they hadn't heard this album yet and I had it on cassette and a nice sound system in my car and I put it on once we got on the highway on an intensely bright and coloful blue sky day driving through mountainscapes and not one word was spoken by anyone the whole time till it was over when one fellow in back only said, "Wow." And we drove on in more quietness. One day drive with this album in such a landscape. It's indescribable.

    I love Kate Bush. She won't tour as she doesn't like to fly.
    Music critics used to containerize her into 'art rock'. Her videos are certainly artistic.
    If you like what you here, definitely take a look at how she expresses her work visually. Her live performances were also something else.

    I think you are exactly right about Kate's sincerity. Any hint of campness or cheesiness in her work belongs solely in the eyes of the beholder. Like David Bowie, she also studied with mime artist Lindsay Kemp, but where there is always something calculated and self-conscious about Bowie, Kate seems gauche and naive in comparison. I don't thing there is anything in her albums with which I'm familiar, up to and including this one, where she was anything other than passionate and whole-hearted about what she was doing.

A great song, and thanks for the review. Although the narrative has a dark heart, there IS a sense of adventure, mixed with an emotion of hope and optimism.

    Programmed drums are the Linn LM1 drum machine, the kick drum had that kind of gated sound and you'll hear it on quite a few 80's albums. Kate Bush originally played the main strings part on the Fairlight sampler and then later replaced them with real strings. reverbmachine.com/blog/kate-bush-synth-sounds/
    This album was the first album she recorded in her home studio and so had time to freely experiment. People who worked on previous albums with her said she was so happy to not have the constraints of the clock ticking in a paid studio environment and that there was this amazing creative energy not seen before on previous albums, a unique moment in time.
    You always wonder when an artist self-produces how much are they really producing and how much is just great musicians. I read an interview with the drummer on this album and he said the first day he came in to the studio he started setting up his kit and she told him not to unpack his cymbals or hi-hat. He was surprised and she explained there would be no cymbals or hats on the record, it was to have a dark mood. This was definitely a self-producing artist with a vision who was fully steering the ship.
    So many interesting stories about this album around, I've looked into it a lot b/c it's my personal favorite. Her previous album The Dreaming was the first album she self-produced and it wasn't a commercial success, people found it way too strange. I saw an interview where she said her record label reluctantly agreed to let her try self-producing again on the Hounds of Love but this time they said, they really needed some "hits". She said okay, I'll give you some hits but of course those hits were in her own weird, inimitable style :)

  • @scottmcgregor562
    @scottmcgregor562 4 роки тому +1

    For me Kate Bush is the perfect example of what can happen when an artist is just left alone to create. Everything that she did up to Hounds of Love lead up to this peak. Like Pink Floyd on previous albums she was able to venture out to creative extremes and eventually distill them all into this jewel. It will come as no surprise that all of her albums are recommended. If you ever are more curious about her creative formation, I recommend the excellent BBC documentary The Kate Bush Story (available in it's entirety on UA-cam). I would love to see you explore some of her earlier work like Never Forever. I do not think that you will be disappointed.

    Thanks JP - your treatment of this song brightened my day. My favorite part of CB is Kate seeking to make a small victory out of the little boy's loss of his father (better demonstrated in the video). There is lots and lots of trivia related to this song. As far as I know, it's the only adaptation of the "Book of Dreams" by Peter Reich, in which the author recalls his boyhood life with his father, Dr. Wilhelm Reich. This book was on the NY Times bestseller list, and I first knew of it from a high school buddy, who pointed out the part of the boy pointing the orgone energy machine toward UFOs to keep them away. This isn't in the song, but it does include the boys' mysterious glowing yo-yo (the machine collects orgone energy, which might have been absorbed by a metal object?), and he later buried in the backyard. Wilhelm Reich is a real person, who was arrested by the FBI for trumped up charges. It is easy to compare his fate to Nikola Tesla, because he also invented a device for collecting energy radiating from the Earth, and who also died in seclusion of a heart attack. But the naive childish recollections in the book and song make the story even more poignant.

    • @silgen

      There's nothing mysterious about the glowing yo-yo, it's painted with radioluminecent paint, i.e. containing Radium 226, which makes it glow in the dark but is also a source of radiation - special and dangerous.

      Hi Bob. Interesting fact: "Cloudbusting" is not the only adaptaptation of "A Book of Dreams" by Peter Reich. Patti Smith, in her debut album "Horses" (10 years ahead of "HoL") dealt with the same story in her song "Birdland". It's also a great song allthough both sound very different.
      Justin, some day, try to react to Patti Smith's "Horses", another great great album! The song "Land" is an incredible piece with an astounding intro! Don't expect it to sound like Kate Bush though, they're very different artists, but both admire each other a lot.

      @@cuckoofan I heard of "Horses" in an NPR radio program - I'll have to give Patti Smith's "Birdland" a listen. JP has a full schedule with doing the half dozen songs of Ninth Wave (or side two of HOL) at once - wishing him well!

    Thanks so much for trying this album out! Once you've finished with it, I highly recommend jumping ahead to her album Aerial, from 2005. It would be interesting to hear what you think about the change in her style and how her voice has matured. Also, the second disc of Aerial is a concept album, not dissimilar to The Ninth Wave.

    If you listen to side 2 "the Ninth Wave" of Hounds of Love, you have to listen to it all in one go. It is a conceptual suite made up of 7 songs that tell a story. Its incredible. So yeah, from And Dream of Sheep on you have to do one big listen!

    Each song on HOUNDS has its own story, individual scape, context, and yet, it is a cohesive compilation, a complete album, from beginning to end, and you never get lost on that journey. It's multilayered, multivocaled composition/compilation of her ultimate masterpiece.

  • @S_E_R_

    I'm sure other people have said it but the remainder of the album is basically one song split into sections. You obviously can react however you choose, but if you listen to them all back to back you'll probably get a better picture of the story.
    Great reaction as always!

    Back in the day, most of us were introduced to new Kate Bush songs via the videos. That was the way they were intended to be. Please do a second video with you watching the official video. I think that with each of her songs you should try watching as well as listening.

  • @carlfisher3924
    @carlfisher3924 4 роки тому +4

    She doesn't sing the phone book but she does sing Pi on her Arial album.
    Ninety percent of the lyric is singing the number Pi to (off the top of my head) let's say, the hundredth decimal point.
    I'm sure someone out there will know the exact number....
    See what I did there? 😀

    • @ytcarol

    Kate's masterpiece. It doesn't get any better than this. Just as she did with Wuthering Heights, she perfectly adapted Peter Reich's "A Book of Dreams" and set it to brilliant music.

    I did not hear this song for a long time although I do not only like the music but the video as well what is not very often the case. But I cannot but like any movie Donald Sutherland is participating. I assume that Fever Ray's "When I Grow Up" is a direct descendant of this song. Not stolen but heavily inspired.

    One other interesting thing about this album, perhaps a minor point but still indicative of her genius (ugh, I hate using that word because it's so overused but I can't think of anything else right now and I'll be sitting here all night trying) is Kate's production. Side one, where all the singles are, is, it seems to me, more densely packed production wise, while side two, "The Ninth Wave," is noticeably more open sounding, like you could climb inside and walk around in it.

  • @mvellis3863
    @mvellis3863 4 роки тому

    Kate originally wrote the lyrics that "something bad is going to happen," but she was sitting at her piano composing when a big wasp flew in the window and came straight at her. She said she thought for sure it was going to sting her, but it turned around at the last second and went right back out the window. She immediately changed the lyrics to "something good is gonna happen."
