share of exceptional music is folly indeed. And virtually none was as exceptional as that which came from Kate Bush. Kates 1985 album The Hounds Of Love was more than just exceptional however; one could certainly use that accolade in describing her four previous and all subsequent records but Hounds Of Love was exquisite for many quite simply the best album ever made! This film puts Hounds Of Love under the microscope and with the aid of musicians who played on the album Kates biographer journalists Kris Needs and Lucy O Brien musicologist Chris Ingham and a host of other contributors the story behind the albums build-up production release impact and legacy is told here in full.

Kate Bush is widely known and respected now, as much in the 80's at the peak of her career, for her sensational songwriting abilities, combined with her expressionist dance and unique singing voice.
This DVD is not an ideal choice for die-hard fans as contains merely snippets of her performances, although there is rare footage but these little pieces available, are not of sound-byte quality to do it justice. This is essentially (as the titles suggests) Kate being reviewed by herself and others with good interviews with her producers on how the records came together. As there are limited works on the 'high street' available, this 'unathorised' product is a good buy to capture what a role model Kate was to artists and fans and can be bought at a relatively decent price.
