So if both released all-instrumental albums in wordless white covers, Kate's
advantage would disappear, eh?  %) %)

I suspect that abhorrence for the "Art with a capital A" attitude is one of 
the reasons why Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins tends to say "fuck" a lot
and describe the most popular old CT album as "an abortion" in interviews.  It
serves to annoy the fans who think of them only in "sweetness and light" 
terms.
