After a famous magazine ran a "Where Are They Now?" segment on her, seemingly out of nowhere in August, 1985 lead single Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) appeared, and caught many of her former critics by surprise. What nobody saw was that she had simply laid the foundations for greater things to come. Three years passed, and she faded from the spotlight. Studio costs for the album came a huge expense, and there was plenty of uncertainty to be had for the future. The general consensus seemed to be that she had gone off the deep end into self-indulgent artistry, and Kate Bush became untrendy overnight. Taking to her production tools and the Fairlight CMI like a duck to water, Bush experimented with production techniques to create a diverse array of soundscapes that were met by fans with bewilderment. Once again she recieved a credit in production duties, but it wasn't until 1982's The Dreaming that Bush would completely take over this role and the result was a largely critical and commercial failure. Released in 1980, her third album Never for Ever saw the introduction of drum machines and possibly the most important aspect of Kate Bush's career, the Fairlight CMI synthesiser. This period was important, as she assisted in the production and developed the strong willed personality she would become known for during the fight for artistic freedom under label pressure. Wholly unsatisfied with the output and rush to capitalise on her earlier success, Bush was feeling her artistic sensibilities being pinched and the result was something of a mediocre retread. There were accusations of naive, fresh clay for record label EMI, and the completion of her second album Lionheart in a matter of months did nothing to help this matter. This precocious maturity characterised The Kick Inside, at the tender age of 19 the public didn't quite know what to make of her. Along with two famous music videos (featuring both a white and red dress), the lead single Wuthering Heights was a weird blend of progressive rock, classical and literary influences that demonstrated a raw, unusual talent beyond her years. Kate Bush was an oddity when she burst onto the popular music scene in the late 70's, famously discovered by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd in 1978 backed by a bunch of prog rock veterans she released debut album The Kick Inside.
