Nice thought, though I don't understand its mechanism.  I discovered
Kate as a direct result of |>oug's raving about HOUNDS OF LOVE, but I
found TSW to be a remarkably queefy and uninspired little album.  Where
HoL was a solid pleasure and full of wonderful moments, I think TSW is
much less coherent and with pleasant interludes few and far between.
(The best track, IMHO, was "This Woman's Work", which wasn't even new.)

As I said, I'm not sure what the theory MEANS, because I *also* enjoy
all her previous albums.  TSW is by my way of thinking the weakest of
the lot (and I mean to imply as much weakness as possible).
