I’m struggling to think of another album since 1977 that has inspired and influenced the work of so many modern artists the way Hounds Of Love has. The themes explored in the album – which range from the natural world to gender equality issues – are ingeniously imaginative and theatrical in equal measure.

Lyrics aside, Hounds Of Love is musically diverse, spanning a wide array of tones and textures. It really feels more like a short film than a pop album produced in 1985.
