This is hard to believe (although an attractive idea). To these ears there's little doubt that it's an electric guitar, albeit with a distorted sound. If you're sure it's a guitar synth sound, could you cite some other recording with a similar synthetic guitar sound? Very interested. >> IED would like to ask one thing, >>however: WHY?

Of >course, we are all tied together by our common love for the great Kate, >and everybody contributes Katenews and views, which just proves our >common good taste! O.K. Never having read any other co-operative but L-Hs, IED was ignorant of the taste of net.music fans. Thanks for clarifying the issue. In these circumstances, so far as IE is concerned, may the floor remain wide open, with the sole stipulation that Springsteen, Rush et al. enter into these proceedings when hell has thoroughly frozen over. After all, one has to draw a line somewhere. Incidentally, there has never been any secret that IED0DXM is Andrew Marvick, who is having fun withd a pseudonymous anagram. Yes, it is silly. Get the following for irony: Kate's "video" for "RUTH" has passed into the semi-finals for MTV's annual award for "best video by a female performer", or whatever. The joke is that MTV NEVER SHOWED the official promotional film, only the Wogan Show lip-synch performance. While on vacation in the Dairyland (Wisconsin, to be precise), IED met two people who noticed his KT t-shirt (the new U.S. one with the rainbow-colored print of the HoL cover). One felt she should fill him in on the details of Kate's career. "She was discovered by Peter Gabriel, you know." The other had this to tell him: "Woh, dude. Kate Bush, right? Woh. I don't like her album {this presumably a reference to Kate Bush's FIFTH album}. It's all about a girlfriend of hers who died of a heroin overdose. Rully self-indulgent. Hey, but she does a rull sweet job on "Don't Give Up", though. Woh, dude, rad, etc., etc., etc...." This experience is related to emphasize the results of acquiring a high profile in our homeland.
