Had nearly the exact same experience here.  A friend played "The Whole Story"
for my wife and I and we were hooked.  Imagine our surprise to find that TWS
could not even *begin* to encompess Kate's best work!

I feel privilaged.  I remember seeing _Cloudbusting_ on MTV very late at night.
My impression at the time?  "What an incredible song, and such a beautiful
video!  Hmmm, who was that?"  I remembered that as soon as I heard it on 
TWS, and of course I bought TWS video as well.

How about _Christmas_Will_Be_Magic_Again_ (is that the correct title?) ?
It is after all the holiday season.  Any hope of finding something new 
(new for me) from Kate to celebrate the season?


Images that stick in my mind...
          
Kate in pilot's helmut and bomber jacket at the very end of the _Wow_
video (from the TWS version).
          
Kate in rain with umbrella and raincoat in the _The_Big_Sky_ video.


A change of media to CDs and phrases that stick in my mind...

"The night doesn't like it" from _Night_of_the_Swallow_ .
	(How *does* she do that?  Is that all her voice or was that 
	 electronically touched up? )

"...a great big hug" from _All_We_Ever_Look_For_ .
	(Volunteers ?)

"I am the convierge chez moi honey" from _Get_Out_Of_My_House_ .
	(What does this mean?  I like to know what I have stuck in there.)


Don't drive too slowly.
