Some very valid points in there Xan! I suppose that the tracks on "TWS" do, to a ceratin extent, represent the sounds on each album. However, I think the sounds used on each album is so diverse within the album that it's hard to represent it with just one or two songs! Mixing up the more unusual with the more commercial tracks is a good idea, but it seems to flow less smoothly than each individual album, for obvious reasons.
I'm sorry I didn't include it on the list now though - it's a little biased I suppose, but I honestly didn't think of it when I thought about her albums! I think I see "TWS" more of a semi-album, a little summary of what had already been released - maybe we'll get another one after the next album?

I voted HOL, my second choice would have been TWS if it was an option... However, I just gave a non-fan a CD I made myself to try to 'convert' her Tracks... Leave It Open Get Out Of My House Violin Sat In Your Lap These should have been saved for phase two, as the may have scared away the untrained ear. ;D They are an aquired, or at least esoteric, taste.  |

Well, I was attempting to convert a friend of mine, and knowing that he likes unusual/experimental music, I put "Get Out Of My House" and "Violin" on the tape...he liked "GOOMH" but just couldn't get "Violin" (I loved both on 1st listen! What's wrong with some people? ) His favourite was "This Woman's Work" though! |

Well, I guess I'll admit that GOOMH, Violin, and SIYL all took a little bit to grow on me. So, I see Al's point
But, in my defense, I got the all the albums at once, after only owning TWS and HOL briefly, in the box set. It was a lot to digest at once, so I leaned more heavily on TSW and NFE at first.
The first unusual song on TWS I really loved was Breathing.
But, Leave it Open and NOTS were immediate faves on The Dreaming.

Can't fault anyone's logic..
For me it would be TKI first. Most people would need softening up before attempting The Dreaming.

The hounds of love is suitable because of the fact that both commercial (read: Cloudbusting, ROTH) and non-commercial (read: the ninth wave side) are present and also they are in the correct order. It lures you in with accesable songs and then holds you there with the ninth wave....

(read: Cloudbusting, ROTH) ROTH? Running Off That Hill..? That'll be that darned weather machine I suppose. He could have put brakes on it..Joking aside CofC, I've come round to your way of thinking. Presenting the accessible and more challenging sides of her creativity side by side, is an entirely fair way of presenting what Kate Bush music has to offer. Perhaps in the future, popular music history will record HOL as the definitive recording - if not artistically. |

I gave The Dreaming to a non-fan who had never heard Kate's music.  Guess what, they loved it! |
