This is great! I'd only heard the album HOL one time before this week, and never really listened to it then--but after seeing the TWS video album, and seeing on it THE BIG SKY, I knew I had to have HOL--and now I can't get The Big Sky out of my head--it's got my vote for the best song ever made! Others may look at me funny, when I climb out onto the roof with my binoculars, but the spell is cast!!! -- /----------------------------------------------this is the way the world ends-\ |charles padgett may be found on occasion at padgett@athena.cs.uga.edu | |----------------------------------------------this is the way the world ends-| |lovecraft, lewis carroll, peter gabriel, KaTe, laurie anderson |

Funny...for a long time, "The Big Sky" was my least favorite song on HoL. Now I don't have a least favorite song. :-) I do, however, admit to preferring the meteorological mix. BTW, did Paddy play the digeridu on that? I thought I remember hearing that he had (I know it was Rolf Harris on "The Dreaming"). "Rolling over like a great big cloud..." Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.

I don't know if THE BIG SKY is the song ever made, but THE BIG SKY video is the best video ever made, as al cultured people know. I had exactly the same experience of really falling for the BIG SKY first after having seen the rest of the video on the tape. It was the only "new" song for me as I had had the Whole Story album for years and The Big Sky isn't on it. That's probably the album to get next, though, like I said it doesn't have THE BIG SKY on it.

It does happen to be my favorite oops second favorite. I think I like EXPERIMENT IV is the best, cause it actually seemed to add the most to the song, at least by my thinking. Also it seemed to me the least "obvious" extentented mix, you listen to it and it almost seems like just a longer version of the same same song, where the others seem more obviously patched together, not that I don't like them.

I feel the same way. Ok, so The Ninth Wave suite is wonderful, but when my HoL CD finishes, the first thing I do is play TBS again. It *is* a bit lightweight and whimsical by KaTe's standards, but it's just so wonderfully energetic and dynamic, to call it exquisite is an understatement... _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."
