Maggie’s Top 10
The fifth studio album by English musician Kate Bush, Hounds of Love marked Bush’s return to the public eye after relatively low sales of her previous 1982 album, The Dreaming. The album is comprised of two suites: Hounds of Love and The Ninth Wave. In the latter suite, which is styled after Alfred, Lord Tennyson‘s Arthurian poems, Bush pursues a vision quest, taking the listener through a death and rebirth. The warmth of familiar sleep is cut by dangerous speed, ice and frigid water, an otherworldly trial and judgment, an out-of-body limbo, and finally a vigorous emergence and grounding in life energy.
