I too found "The Sensual World" to be an album not quite like the
others.  I like the lush orchestration, the Trio Bulgarka, etc.  What
I found weak was...Kate's voice.  It just seemed rather flat, without
the energy and spark of her earlier works.  I don't even like
"Rocket's Tail", preferring "Never Be Mine".  I agree with others
that the sound quality was abysmal, especially for Kate.  Not to say
that it was a bad album, just one that should have been improved.

Actually, when I heard the song "The Sensual World", it was very
promising, and led me to expect an album in that style.  The
disappointment that it really wasn't probably contributed to why I
don't hold the album so highly.

Note to Ed: I have been to Sam's many times and never saw any Kate
videos, but on your recommendation I stopped by again, with the same
results.  When I asked the clerk, he claimed that "The Single File"
and "Live at the Hammersmith" were both "on order".  Right.

I've heard rumours of an "Atlas Shrugged" movie being made.  Anyone
know anything?  Maybe Kate as Dagny?
