I got a free magazine from the HMV shop today called "Beat", and it contains
a review of "The Dreaming" on CD. I'm certain you'll all be interested in this
but please note that I don't agree with this review!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KATE BUSH The Dreaming (EMI)

From 1982, Kate's least commercial album. The Dreaming strained the patience
of her public with some eccentric attempts to convey the mystic wisdom of
primitive cultures (the title track), a shrieking panic attack of a single
(Sat In Your Lap) and an overall lapse from her customarily exquisite sense
of melody. Three years later came Hounds Of Love, and all was forgiven.

The other reviews are generally unfavourable too, which seems strange in a
magazine produced by a record shop which presumably wants people to buy it's
products!
