In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases.Waking the Witch' is bloody amazing, I love the beginning dialogues, and the last minute and a half!

Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. Kate Bush has delivered on her promise of ‘special presentations’ of her classic 1985 album Hounds of Love with three new editions, none of which offers any new audio. Kate says: “The idea was to create a hybrid of an album and a piece of artwork you could hang on the wall.It’s very exciting to see the resurgence of appreciation for the physical presence of albums released on vinyl. The 80s production sharp edges on drums etc have presumably been smoothed down a bit in remastering, more in keeping with the production of her later albums. Vinyl in EXCELLENT condition, MINIMAL superficial surface marks and minor background noise in places. In 1985, when MTV was reaching the peak of its viewership and veteran British acts were suddenly experiencing more pressure to adapt and take new directions, she finally broke the notoriously imperious American market.

I've been a US lover of kate bush for years as a hippie dude(listening to David Gilmour lead to me wuthering heights, still one of my favorite songs of all time, that guitar outro! So overall the second half of this album (the concept side) is beautiful, but the first 5 tracks don't sit as well together as they do on much earlier CDs, including the late 90s remaster (which had the album mix plus several bonuses). To the Nattering Naybobs of Negativity, I say there are those who will happily snap up these limited edition art pieces, and there are those who won’t. There’s a special emotional connection that happens between the possessor of an album, the music and the artwork, when it exists in the real world.A classic album, whether you are a big Kate fan or not, with some great singles, and, in the original releases, quite energised percussion, particularly on the brilliant Running Up That Hill. If you can’t afford it I understand and am sorry, but don’t rain on everyone else’s parade, that makes no sense. Fish People are also reissuing the regular vinyl and CD versions of Hounds of Love and believe it or not (Stranger Things fans, ahoy!

I know that some Bush fans will argue Kate isn't pop, and is more alternative/art-rock/avant-garde and whatnot. for me some of the singles on the album seem a bit muffled/muted sounding (and I'm not just referring to the inclusion of the 7" mix of Big Sky). On a whim note, I found it surprising that the 'Running Up That Hill' music video never won any prestigious music video award! And though it may be her watershed moment, the album, its classic singles and accompanying videos are part of a conceptual cycle that would continue with her later, more underrated records, presenting further autobiographical subject matter, romantic imagery and studio wizardry. Side 1, Big Sky has been changed, so it runs shorter I expect and fits on the remastered album better.Beautiful art with a wonderful story and endorsed by David Bowie whom, it’s safe to say, knew a thing or 2 about art. That track, and Ninth Wave opus, sound great on this remastered cd, particularly the latter, which seems more enveloping now. The site says that “the best way to charge this solar panel is in bright sunlight (but not with the vinyl LP, it might warp!
