Because, after all, what would you play next? You greenhorns need to learn to be patient. "The Dreaming" is not for beginers. You need to work up to it, so that one can appreciate all of the subtle nuances of The Album. "The Dreaming" is easily the most creative of Kate's work. Suspended in Gaffa, Pull Out The Pin, Leave It Open, Night of the Swallow, Houdini, Get Out of My House--you would dare compare anything to these? I have heard some people claim that other albums exist (by Kate and other artists), but after careful study I have come to the conclusion that they are mistaken. "The Dreaming" is the only album that exists. Its existence denies the reality of all others. -andy
