A friend was upgrading his collection to CD and gave me a
cassette with Kate on it. I had heard of her, but had never
heard her music. He didn't write anything on the tape box, 
so I was without any information except the artist. Needless 
to say, I was entranced by what sounded like a continuous 
suite of songs delivered in a haunting emotional style
common to more ordinary songwriters, but with a stunning
mastery of the recording studio that reminded me of Sgt.
Pepper, in breadth of reach if not actual sound. It was one
of those rare instances of liking every note on a record
on the first listening.

It turned out to be Hounds, which is, um, her best.
