|Really? I shiver ever time I listen to the album. Even after I had
|owned the promocassette for a month and had worn the tape out, I
|shivered when I bought the CD one day late and played it at loud
|volumes in a dark room. "The Fog", "Never Be Mine", "Rocket's 
|Tail" and "Deeper Understanding" all scare the skin right off of
|my body, they're so eerie and powerful...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Kate Bush has produced
her most provocative, moving, shiver-invoking, earth-shocking sound
(aural, that is) ever on TSW.  It is the fourth (count'em 4) monkey-type
howl in Walk Straight Down the Middle.  The others are great too, and
the first 3 kind of set the stage for the 4th one, which just blows
the whole rest of the album away (slight sarcasm here :-).  I especially
like the way she follows through on this sound and lets her voice
coast along at the end.  Goosebumps?  Naaawww.  Cowlesions!
