On October 16th they played Running Up That Hill on the Z Radio
network here in Sweden. (That's not *that* unusual - we are
experiencing a massive 70's and 80's retro in Swedish radio right
now, and KaTe gets her share of that :-)

After playing Running Up That Hill, the dj said that the B-side of
the album ("this happened at that time when records had two sides")
was one continuous story, The 9th Wave. He also told how the story
starts: A girl is out skating, with a muff and skates that curls up
at the front end, this could be in the 1890:s. And then, suddenly,
she hears a knock under the ice, and it's herself, under the ice,
that knocks! And then the story continues, as she experiences various
adventures.

Is this interpretation of The 9th Wave an officially, gaffa-supported
one, or has the dj simply mixed The 9th Wave up with Alice In
Wonderland?
