It's my favourite Kate Album because it is _weird_, the production
is aweso and experimental, the lyrics are surrealistic, the compositions
are both progressive and accessible - and finally because it is a brave
album. The first production she did all by herself. It became so arty, so
expressive. I wished TRS had more of that.

by the way, Is there anyone else here who sees the relation between
 'The Dreaming' and Peter Gabriel's third album ?
Both were pioneers in Fairlight usage and have a similiar feel in them,
I think.
