Since you already have TD (or at least a "wobbly" version of it), *I* would
suggest that your next purchase be one of The Kick Inside.  It is *very*
different from TD (and the rest of her albums for that matter), and has some
real pretty stuff on it.  Again, I think that Kate's big thing is continuity.
That is to say that the reason "And Dream of Sheep" wouldn't fit on TD, anymore
than "Get Out Of My House" would on HoL, is because Kate makes sure that each
of her albums is very different from the others, while the songs on each album
maintain a substantial level of continuity on that album.  Each of her albums
sort of fall into seperate genres (or, at least, sub-genres), while maintaining
an underlying style that is only hers.  The first album I ever heard of hers
was Never For Ever, and I *immediately* fell in love with her style.  I think,
though, that no matter which album I had first heard, the same would have
happened.
