I have been a fan of Kate Bush since she appeared on Top of The Pops, singing “ Wuthering Heights”. She is a musical genius. I had everything she released on vinyl, but the Japanese pressings of her albums are amazing; they have more clarity and depth, and “The Red Shoes” is a superb example of this. Absolutely beautiful recording; and, without doubt, rapidly becoming my favourite Kate album. 11/10.

Kate Bush was never the most prolific of artists; this 1993album and its attendant singles formed her complete '90s output. Her recordings are carefully conceived, densely orchestrated, and finely tuned, and THE RED SHOES is no exception.Though spontaneity may not be her strong suit, her records are never dull or self-indulgent. Among Kate Bush's most relaxed recordings, THE RED SHOES features a number of guest appearances, notably Eric Clapton, Nigel Kennedy, and Jeff Beck. Highlights include the appropriately bouncy "Rubberband Girl", the double entente-laden "Eat the Music", complete with a great horn section, and "Big Stripey Lie", an angry track shot through with distortion and some of Bush's most agonized vocals since her 1980 album NEVER FOR EVER. Also noteworthy is "Why Should I Love You?" an interesting collusion between Bush's introspective style and loose funk lite, courtesy of The Artist Hereafter Known As Prince Rodgers Nelson.Read full review
