So no one seems to be excited about the new version of Wuthering
Heights. I'll admit it, I listen to The Kick Inside as much as I listen
to the sacred Dreaming and the blessed Hounds of Love. Since Kate's
voice has deepened and matured I have been wondering if this was a shift
down in her vocal range or if she could still hit those high
"Heathcliff"'s with ease. I was glad (and amazed) to see (hear) that she
can still do it with ease (except one "Heathcliff" seems a bit
strained). But now she can sing those low "wuthering"'s with ease, too.
I think this latest version is far superior vocally to the TKI version
and shows just how amazing and unique Kate is in the pop (gasp!) music
world. She also showed her satisfaction with her interpretation of the
original version by not changing the phrasing and inflection.

Drukman) Ed Simpson writes "no one seems excited about the new Wuthering Heights" (or something similar, unfortunately this rotting computer is completely incapable of pasting other people's mail into your own) Anyway, I think it's fantastic. What a range! When I bought my X4 single, I played side one and said "neat." then played side two and totally flipped out. Definitely a step in the right direction, even if it is a fairly mild pop song. But boy can she hit those highs! Oh, and I seem to recall seeing a few other letters in the past saying how wonderful the new mix is. Can't paste 'em in, unfort- unately. --jon drukman ARPA: jsd%oz@mit-mc.arpa BITNET: drukman@umass.bitnet
