Kate Bush - The Dreaming

This album reminds me of when I was 10 visiting my friend's house and her sister who was 17 at the time and an incredible soprano singer was singing the last track Get Out of My House at full volume. It was an experience and I was in awe. It's thanks to her I got to hear The Clouds, Stereolab, Pulp and Blur.

Produced entirely by herself, and despite being a commercial flop, I've since discovered it's a lot of people's favourite Kate Bush album. However, on relisten now parts of this album have not aged well. Whilst the title track The Dreaming was well intended about the destruction of country for First Nations people by colonisation - it's now cringe and an awkward listen. I went and watched the video clip. EEK. Sat in Your Lap and Get Out Of My House on the other hand still sound incredible and peak experimental Kate.
