Really-From: stewarte@ucscc.UCSC.EDU (The Man Who Invented Himself) Was I only dreaming, or did Mike Pritchard <mpp@uf.msc.umn.edu> actually say: >Take it easy on the guy, |>oug. I, too, once thought that The Dreaming >was total trash (please, no flames!). Let me explain... [explanation of TD growing on him deleted] This doesn't suprise me, because The Dreaming is not only the best of KaTe's albums, it is also the densest. Albums of such complexity and opaqueness often take a lot of listening to appreciate. Perhaps the most extreme example of this in my experience is Vivian Stanshall's ravingly brilliant "Sir Henry at Rawlinson End". I didn't even understand the storyline of this (largely spoken) album until about the 12th listen. I digress. Anyway, any Bushhead (sic) who doesn't like The Dreaming just isn't listening hard enough. -- Stewart -- "If you can't puke adorably, you might as well not puke at all." -- Martin McGurk /* uunet!sco!stewarte -or- stewarte@sco.COM -or- Stewart Evans */
