I loved this album. The A side (through Cloudbusting) has some really great moments of orchestration and vocal prowess from Kate, and I love the different synth sounds throughout the album. Her choice of eerie, otherworldly synth contrasted by piano for the dark subject matter on Mother Stands For Comfort makes it my favorite track on Hounds of Love. The B side really impressed me, though, more than the hits on the A side like Running Up That Hill (which I still love). Kate's ethereal voice is perfect for sending the listener through the variety of dreamlike scenes in her suite The Ninth Wave. Under Ice has such simple instrumentation, but her chanting voice accompaniment really adds to the imagery expressed in the lyrics. I really have no complaints about this album. Kate's performance and songwriting are fantastic, and I love how cohesive the sound of this album is.
