[rec.music.gaffa] Uh oh, this may be the start of something...

Vicki, don't sweat it...  No flames from me; I couldn't have said it
any better.

_Lionheart_ was something of a disapointment for me; it was my 4th KaTe
album, and it was the first one that I didn't want to play over and over
again.  It's still my least favorite album (despite some songs I love)

TSW was much the same when I got it...right when it was released in the
States.  I took it home, extraordinarily excited, popped it in the CD
player...and my face fell.  "Oh.  This is what Kate's doing now.  I see."
But, a few of the tracks hit me right off...Deeper Understanding and
TWW in particular.  Because of those songs, I realized there was something
I was missing, so I kept listening to the album.  Finally, it started
to hit me--The Fog, Rocket's Tail, and Never Be Mine began to display
all of the Kate Bush-ness that I had missed.

TSW is a complex album that deserves a lot of openminded listening.  It's
well worth the effort.

I have to agree with you fully. Although TSW hit me immediately (esp.
"The Fog" and "Never Be Mine"), it still took a long time for all
of it to sink in. In fact, "Between a Man and a Woman" has still to
hit me fully. I know it will eventually though. I just wish it the
sound quality was a little better.
