Kate Bush's first album, The Kick Inside, released when the singer/songwriter was only 19 years old (but featuring some songs written at 15 and recorded at 16), is her most unabashedly romantic, the sound of an impressionable and highly precocious teenager spreading her wings for the first time. The centerpiece is "Wuthering Heights," which was a hit everywhere except the United States (and propelled the Emily Brontë novel back onto the best-seller lists in England), but there is a lot else here to enjoy: The disturbing "Man with the Child in His Eyes," the catchy rocker "James and the Cold Gun," and "Feel It," an early manifestation of Bush's explorations of sexual experience in song, which would culminate with "Hounds of Love." As those familiar with the latter well know, she would do better work in the future, but this is still a mightily impressive debut.
Although Kate looks some times creepy to me (her image and some times her voice), that is just something you got to get used to, putting that aside, accepting what she has to offer, listening to her music.The Kick Inside is one of my favorite albums, from the beginning to the end. David Gilmour produced the album.

At 19 years of age, Kate Bush performs "The Kick Inside" From the Efteling tv special in 1978. I've pulled down my lace and the chintz. Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius? I'll send your love to Zeus. Oh, by the time you read this, I'll be well in touch. I'm giving it all in a moment or two. I'm giving it all in a moment, for you.

I was DJing last night and for a Sunday night there were more than a few indie hipsters dancing like everyone was watching, EXCEPT for Kate Bush, where they danced like no one was watching.What is it about Kate Bush that makes people do big arms and fake fairy ballet all over the place?I quite like to slip in a bit of the ole Kate into my sets, because it can't all be angular guitar driven DYI ...

Story time! My best friend Jordan dropped out of high school to play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and I would spend all my free time at his house. When we'd eat he'd turn on VH1 classics, inspired by the game's retro music. One day, full of shells and cheese and stoned to the bone, Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" came on, and nothing else in the world mattered for 4 minutes. We were entranc...

Heh - I've finally got around to following-up on my previous post. I did buy 'The Kick Inside' by Kate Bush and it is rather excellent. I'd only ever heard 'Wuthering Heights' and 'L'Amour Looks Something Like You' but the rest of the album is up to the same standard.I'm not going to review the album because I am pretty terrible at describing music and how it makes me feel - I'm just going to s...
