Product Description
From Amazon.com
Kicking things off with a whimper, not a bang, Kate Bush quietly released her 1978 debut, The Kick Inside and that disc still to this day affects an incredible number people, Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan among them. There are so many elements that make this disc unique--Kate's soaring soprano, her warm piano playing--but the one thing that perhaps sticks out most is how different her sounds were from anything else circulating at that time. Ten years before "alternative" hit the forefront, this music was neither easy nor palatable, truly an alternative from the other styles out there. Among the more legendary tracks, search out "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" and her timeless classic "Wuthering Heights." --Denise Sheppard
Chronique amazon.fr
Les longs mois qui ont séparé la signature de son contrat chez EMI de la sortie en single de "Wuthering Heights", Kate Bush les avait consacrés à prendre des leçons de danse et de mime et à composer et composer encore. Ce qui explique que les séances de son premier album se soient échelonnées entre 1975 et 1977. Fait remarquable, la chanteuse maîtrise déjà son art. De "Moving" à la chanson-titre, en passant par "The Man With The Child In His Eyes" (produite par son mentor David Gilmour), les treize plages de The Kick Inside sonnent comme un long poème symphonique dédié au romantisme, magnifié par une voix éthérée qui traduit en musique ce qu'Emily Brontë, cent trente ans plus tôt, avait confié par la plume dans Les Hauts de Hurlevent. --Philippe Margotin

27 years old and still beautiful,
By
This review is from: Kick Inside (Audio CD)
Hard to believe this gem is 27 years old. For you Kate collectors, the cover art of this CD (not illustrated by Amazon) is the "Red Socks" or "Kate in a crate" cover that was used on the first EMI-U.S. release (not the Harvest "Vogue" cover). Buy this CD! Kate is a creative genius. [This review is only for the Amazon listing; if it is bounced to other sites the cover art comment may not apply.]

Haunting...,

This review is from: Kick Inside (Audio CD)
I heard the song "Moving" when I was only 8 years old, and itburned into my heart for nearly 20 years. I'd downloaded it once, and the indescribably solitary beauty let me bought this CD last week irresistibly. It doesn't disappoint me, it's great! I play this CD almost everyday. This is what I call CLASSIC.

Fun, Quirky & Twee Debut,
By "baylo" (Oz) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kick Inside (Audio CD)
Fun, quirky and maybe just a little too twee, Kate Bush's debut is full of starry eyed romantic wonder. Given that the album doesn't get even close to the complex maturity of later albums, there are some quite humerous and even insightful observations within her lyrics here. Her music is unlike anything heard before or since: a sort of cross between modern musical theatrics and traditional folk presented with a late 70s rock vibe. Once being accustomed to the unusual stylings, there are some very catchy and infectuous offerings here.Best Tracks: Moving, Wuthering Heights, The Kick Inside.
