Altered Zones

You may have been aware of Railcars’ plan to cover Kate Bush’s legendary, incandescent Hounds of Love some time ago. Well, we have listened to the album, and it’s a thing which is strange, heartfelt, and weirdly beautiful in the way in which the original is, but at the same time is very different.

In this cover, we see Kate’s mighty African steed gallop through the grid of Motown-acid and jagged megalithic-pop that Aria has meshed, soaring up and burning Pegasus-phoenix-like into the sky. It breaks through and leaves us earthbound and cowering under a deluge of heavenly fragments, and closing the song with a gigantic drone. --20 Jazz Funk Greats
