Me too. I don't want to offend anyone but I think that's due to what some
socalled "real" KaTeFans (tm) think Kate's music has to be like. There
are always those fans who got into some sort of music by a certain artist
at a certain time and then very much dislike it to change. For example, in
alt.fan.u2 there was a similar discussion on the "Achtung Baby" and
"Zooropa" albums. U2 now is doing a very different thing from what
they've done on the "Joshua Tree", for example. You learn to know a
"real" U2 fan when he or she complains about this change. What I like
about Kate is that she never gets stuck, artisticly speaking.

Ciao, Heiko
