     I can agree with that on most of the songs on _TSW_.  But I nearly blew
my dorm-mate's speakers in a valiant attempt to deafen my fellow collegiates
with _Rocket's Tail_.  The sound quality (or lack thereof) shows through in
the beginning, but boy the second half is a blast.  Almost literally.
     I sincerily hope that Kate figures out that digital is better for her
listeners even though it's more expensive.  I always thought that _The
Dreaming_ was a great recording.

     Interestingly, _TSW_ seems to be worse than _TKI_.  That's gotta be some
kind of engineering sin.  They're eleven years apart!!!  Better than my old
2-bit tape player I used a few months ago... ;-)

PS- Anyone interested in a pool to guess the release date of Kate's next
      album?  I say 1994.  A great year according to Nostradamus.  8-I
