Hello Earth. (nice KaTe-esque opening there)
Greeting from the underside of planet Earth, far from such delights as regular
KaTe publications, KonvenTions and KaTemas celebrations - yes, in the wild
green yonder of New Zealand. This group, in fact, is the only sign I have
apart from my personal tape collection
that KaTe actually exists, and that there are other worshippers in the world of 
Our Lady of Perpetual Wuthering.

*sigh* it's hard being isolated. Anyway, I'd like a little input from my fellow
FanaTics on their views on...(cue drum roll)... the meaning of "The Ninth Wave".

Now I understand the basic philosophy behind it, and it's quite simply breath-
taking. In fact, the first time I heard it I took to my bed for a week, I was
so emotionally freaked out. But I don't see that the songs string together in
any logical way, other than sheer beauty. Can anyone out there furnish me
with a basic story line?

KaTe bless you all.

This was THE BARD speaking.
"Oh! To be in love, and never get out again!"
"If I only could, I'd be running up that hill."
DISCLAIMER: do you really think those guys in VUW are into KaTE?
