Kate's voice is better, and the scope of her vision is breath-taking, to say the least. TD is virtually without flaw, but the one it does suffer from is that the whole is only slightly more than the sum of the parts. HoL, on the other hand, may be viewed (as an album) on so many different levels (a collection of songs, a story, an allegory, dream-sequence, etc.) that as a work of art it cannot be approached. Does anybody else suffer from the syndrome that, once HoL is played, you have to shut off the stereo? Because, after all, what would you play next? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Daniel Welch | "Kate Bush is the sort of performer | | Tandem Computers, Inc. | for whom the word 'superstar' is | | Austin, TX, USA | belittling." | | halley!tzone!dwelch@cs.utexas.edu | Mike Davies, _Melody_Maker_ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solves the problem completely. One of my favorite activites is to walk on a beach, at the edge of the water, listening to HoL. Almost every song (all but "Mother Stands for Comfort") on the first "side" are perfect for walking to, and "The Ninth Wave" gains even more from the added crashing waves and sea gulls. Perfection.

MSfC is one of my favorite songs to walk-and-direct. You know, that's where you (or I anyhow) walk along and swing your arms to the music. I look silly, but I am usually to wrapped up in the music to notice the stares. MIchael -- Michael Kaufman | I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
