Howdy to netland! Well, the theme seems to be how we discovered Kate's music. Here's my $.02 worth. I happen to like Pink Floyd quite a bit, and of course, David Gilmour's guitar work. I was driving around Austin one day listening to my radio when the DJ announced a song that had David Gilmour doing guitars. So I listened carefully to the song, which was Rocket's Tail from The Sensual World. I loved it immmediately (I am quite fried on mainstream pop40) and bought the album. I know many of you seem to, shall we say, hold a lower opinion of this album compared to her others. I happen to like it a lot. I like the soothing lush style of it. I also like music like Enya and Hex which has the same general effect. Anyway, now that I was hooked, I decided to check out her other works. I bought The Dreaming and was a little surprised at the different sound. It grew on me quickly (I LOVE Suspended in Gaffa!) and I'm now in the process of expanding my collection. I have Hounds of Love on cassette but had never heard of Ninth Wave until I ran across this group last week. I think that'll be my next addition. (Of course, any advice wouldn't hurt either) (And, yes, I have a HUGE Kate Bush poster on my wall) Brian Bloom brianb@natinst.com ( nope, no .sig here!)
