Hmm.  Strange.  I, too, find a surprising disparity between HoL and
TSW (though I love both).  But this is more a different style of music and
voicing.  I'm surprised that you don't see a streak
of weirdness on TSW.  I remember being utterly shocked by Rocket's Tail
the first time I heard it... related (thanks to the Trio Bulgarka) is
Deeper Understanding.  While the "weirdness" may take a different form
from that on HoL, I tend to attribute it to artistic progression
rather than anything else.
