If you have been reading this group for a while, you know that many people
are in denial about their disappointment in KaTe's latest album.  Be that
as it may, here's my advice: 

KaTe's albums, in chronological order, are:
- The Kick Inside
- Lionheart
- Never For Ever
- The Dreaming
- Hounds of Love
- The Whole Story (mostly tracks from earlier albums)
- The Sensual World
- The Red Shoes

It sounds as if you have all the albums except Lionheart, The Whole Story,
and The Sensual World.  Because you like The Kick Inside and Never For
Ever, I'd recommend getting Lionheart next.  The songs are from about the
same time, so you probably won't be disappointed.  

. . . I like "that song where some choir sang," too.  I think you're
talking about "Hello, Earth" on Hounds of Love. 

Happy listening, and I hope you find more music that does not disappoint.
