this is very interesting...
I just introduced KaTe to some friends of mine who are self proclaimed
serious HM fans... and they were totally blown away.
They could not believe the complete spectral nature of KaTe's music.
These people were ready to go out and buy at least the 5 albumns(cds)
that I had on me at the time.  (rant rant rant).

Although I must also say their reaction is not that much different
than my original one.
Once I listened.
Now I listen for ever more.
