Are there any Love-Hounds in the London/South East England area having
a Bush Bash of some description? Am I invited? Please?

I have the same feeling about HoL. I only purchased it recently (alright, so I
don't own all HER albums! But I AM working on it (4 out o' 6 ain't bad!) ;-)
and I haven't stopped listening to it since. I liked "Hello Earth", but I
prefered the track before it - "Wake The Witch" (I hope thats right). This
song is REALLY wierd! The first time I listened to it I thought my CD player
was on the fritz! But what does it mean? To me it suggests a dream/nightmare
experience. Or is it near-death-experience (whilst drowning)? Or an internal
self trial (a la Pink in "The Wall")? 

I have NO fear WHATSOEVER that KaTe will top this brilliant album. But will it
be with the next album, or the one after, or the one after that.....?
"TSW" (the single) seems like a pretty good start to me. It's been described as
"arty" and "Irish", and I wouldn't dispute that, but to me it just FEELS right.
The criticism and speculation can come later!

The *Homeground* people will almost definitely be having some sort of
gathering, and they can certainly gather more of a KB fan croud to one
place than Love-Hounds can.  If you live in England, *do* contact
them.

All of the above.
