Re: Finding Kate

My discovery and appreciation (to put it mildly) of Kate was long and slow.
What first piqued my curiosity was a review of The Dreaming in Musician
magazine.  My tastes in music have always been just plain different, and this
album seemed to fill the bill.  In retrospect, it may have been too different,
because two listens to it just got me interested enough to keep an ear out
for Kate.  You have to admit that The Dreaming is not the easiest
introduction to Kate!  Yet it was enough for me to purchase Hounds of Love.
I vastly enjoyed the first listen, but it was during the second the the light
finally turned on.  I I was hooked.  I had all the earlier albums in my hands
within a few weeks!

As for the great Kate album debate, I fully side with Hounds of Love being
her best album.  However, just try to get my copies of The Dreaming (or
any other Kate album!) away from me!!!
