 FROM KATE BUSH: 

You might’ve heard that the first part of the fantastic, gripping new series of  'Stranger Things’  has recently been released on Netflix. It features the song, ‘Running Up That Hill’  which is being given a whole new lease of life by the young fans who love the show - I love it too! 

 

A limited run of 1,500 vinyl copies of the Hounds of Love album will be available exclusively from HMV from this Saturday, 24 July.

FROM WASHINGTON POST:

 Kate Bush, the English singer-songwriter known for her ethereal voice, has found her way into the hearts of yet another generation thanks to a music cue from the latest season of “Stranger Things.” “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God),” which peaked at No. 3 on the U.K. Singles Chart upon its release in 1985, returned to the top tier of music after playing in the Netflix series’ fourth season, which premiered late last month.

 

 ITP V.022 EDITORS NOTE: KATE BUSH is a genius and a rock icon. I'm soo happy for her and I'm STOKED "Running up That Hill" and the 1985 release "HOUNDS OF LOVE" has gotten to #1 on the U.S. BILLBOARD CHARTS. In fact, KATE BUSH'S recent success here in the U.S.A. is loong overdue as I've been a fan since the 80's. I encourage all the new and younger KATE BUSH fans to but her classic release "HOUNDS OF LOVE", it has more in common with extreme metal then you would think and you won't be disappointed.  

 

So why the long over due KATE BUSH renaissance in the U.S.A.? KATE BUSH licensed out her classic single "Running Up Hill" to NETFLIX for the series "STRANGER THINGS" and now a new, younger generation of kids and millennials get to hear KATE BUSH for the first time.
Regarding us metal heads that are into KATE BUSH, some tracks off of "HOUNDS OF LOVE" have more in common with death and extreme metal than you think. The KATE BUSH track "WAKING THE WITCH" features modulated vocals that scared me as a teen in the 80's. However, those modulated vocals on "WAKING THE WITCH" are similar to DEATH METAL vocals as we know them today as KATE was ahead of her time. The rhythm section on the "HOUNDS OF LOVE" track "CLOUDBUSTING" can be (and has been) covered by many of an extreme metal bands as thrash riffs could fit tightly into the drumming.
Any way
CONGRATS
to KATE BUSH and her new fans and enjoy her genius. Do buy "hounds Of Love", it's an amazing release with stellar musicianship, original ideas and great songwriting, you won't be disappointed
