For what it's worth, this is the first time I've ever mentioned TSW
on Love-Hounds.  I agree with Meredith, though, that the reviews of
TSW when it first came out seemed somewhat overenthusiastic.  In my
opinion (of course), TSW is not really on the artistic or technical
level of _The_Dreaming_ or _Hounds_Of_Love_.  What it IS, is a new
(finally!) and different Kate album.  I was disappointed on my first
listen through, and that feeling has lingered, even though I have
listened a lot, and am enjoying it more each time.

Funny, that's just about what I have, except mine's JVC.  It's true
this setup does not really showcase the CD's sonic quality (or lack
of).  I can often hear the motor on quiet passages.  I went and
splurged on a nice pair of digital headphones, though, and now can
really hear my albums.

Oh come on, I never implied that liking "Rocket's Tail" was uncool:-)
I'm probably in the minority here, especially when I say the song
could have done without Gilmour's guitar.
