Was I only dreaming, or did Mike Pritchard <mpp@uf.msc.umn.edu> actually say:

[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.
