Cloudbusting is her finest moment

Great song

I agree.
Wasn't it about some inventor ?

Wilhelm Reich, rather eccentric psychoanalyst, song is written from the perspective of his son.

Re: Kate Bush

Never liked her since her first, screeching, hit, "Wuthering Heights'.

Well, her second hit, Man with the child in his eyes, should have put you right about her just being a screecher. She’s a true original, the number of times I’ve heard something by her for the first time and thought what on earth is that (including Wuthering Heights) is amazing, but I always end up loving the song concerned.

Another reason to like her is that she references the great film Night of the Demon in Hounds of Love - possibly the most frightening film I’ve ever seen, except they really shouldn’t have revealed the, laughable, monster at the end :hehe:

Re: Kate Bush

Growing up on a mainly large dose of alternative music, Kate Bush was able to breakthrough into my 'indie' bubble. If you think about it, she is actually the perfect 'indie' artist. Took control of her own career, made the music she wanted, didn't give a f**k, sung about topics she was interested in, dressed how she liked, made bizarre and interesting videos and completely uninterested in 'celebrity'.

Legend.

Night of the Demon is one of the greatest horror films ever made. Martin Scorsese is a huge fan and put it in his Top 10 horror films of all time as is Sam Raimi who made a homage to it with Drag her to Hell rather than a remake

The demon at the end scared the hell out of me as a kid (obviously the effects haven't aged well but its still effective) - as did The Devil Rides Out

Hope they never remake it

If you're a fan of Night of the Demon and haven't already got it, I can highly recommend the Powerhouse Films two-disc Blu-Ray edition. It contains no less than four different cuts of the film and a whole host of interesting extras:

Some Kate Bush trivia:

Kate's dance teacher, Lindsay Kemp, also taught David Bowie and had a minor role in the Wicker Man (another of my favourite films), in which he played pub landlord Alder MacGregor.

Kate has often highlighted Killing Joke as being one of her favourite bands. Killing Joke's Martin Glover (aka Youth) played bass on her 1986 single The Big Sky, which was taken from the Hounds of Love album.

Although not generally given to praising other artists, John Lydon has frequently spoken of his admiration for Kate Bush's music over the years. He names The Kick Inside as one of his favourite albums.

While their best-known collaboration is the 1986 single Don't Give Up, Kate Bush also worked with Peter Gabriel on his third solo album in 1979. She provided backing vocals on the tracks No Self Control and Games Without Frontiers, which reached number 4 in the UK charts when released as a single in 1980.

Yeah, I was about fourteen when I first watched it and the demon did frighten me a lot then. I can remember walking my dog at about 5 o clock one winter’s morning, so it was very dark and I’d heard Hounds of Love just before I went out, so I was humming/singing it as I walked and then about half way though what was about a mile walk, the “it’s coming through the trees line” came into my head and, of course, once it was there, I couldn’t get rid of it. So, with me, once I think of Night of The Demon, that scene where Dana Andrews goes back to Carswell’s House soon follows, so that morning, I had about half a mile to walk in the dark with no one else but my mutt who would have been no defence if the demon had turned up - needless to say, my walk turned into something very much like a run and I was puffing and blowing like anything when I got back in the house :hehe:

Agree about any remake, I don’t think I’d bother watching it.

Wicker Man is a great film and Britt Ekland as Willow is very easy on the eye.

Thanks Dave, I do have a DVD of it, but it’s a Japanese version which defaults into that language when you play it and I have guess to which one of the multi choices for other language versions is the English one, so I’ve just ordered that DVD you mention - should be very good with all of those extras on there :thumbup:

She was very good singing Larry Adler's Glory of Gershwin

I hope you meant Blu-Ray. I'd hate to think you'd ordered a Blu-Ray thinking it was a DVD.

Hopefully, you have a Blu-Ray player because the two-disc edition is excellent. All sorts of interesting bits and pieces on there. As for the demon itself, apparently the director didn't want it in the film and clashed with the producer over it, although the accounts are varied. Some good debates about that issue from the critics on the Blu-Ray.

Yeah, I ordered the one you linked to, I’ve got a Blue ray player, but it’s been a long while since I used it.
