I shiver ever time I listen to the album. Even after I had |owned the promocassette for a month and had worn the tape out, I |shivered when I bought the CD one day late and played it at loud |volumes in a dark room. "The Fog", "Never Be Mine", "Rocket's |Tail" and "Deeper Understanding" all scare the skin right off of |my body, they're so eerie and powerful... I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Kate Bush has produced her most provocative, moving, shiver-invoking, earth-shocking sound (aural, that is) ever on TSW. It is the fourth (count'em 4) monkey-type howl in Walk Straight Down the Middle. The others are great too, and the first 3 kind of set the stage for the 4th one, which just blows the whole rest of the album away (slight sarcasm here :-). I especially like the way she follows through on this sound and lets her voice coast along at the end. Goosebumps? Naaawww. Cowlesions! . /\/\ / /\/\ / / /_/ / / / "No pinky ring hustlers, No sabre-tooth neighbours"

I disagree: I think that the word "quick" on The Big Sky was about the neatest sound I'd ever heard. Don't quite know why, though. -Bill
