  Toyah has a few solo albums out, most of which were recorded in the 
  early 1980's, though _Ophelia's Shadow_ (some say that's her best)
  came out later than that.  I'm not sure if she reminds me of Kate,
  but I get a feeling lots of Katefans would like her work -- it's got
  a similar sensibility, if you could call it that.  Some of it is just
  downright weird, too. :)

  Erm, she isn't a post-modern Kate Bush.
 
  However, she is really, *really* good, and everyone here should run right
  out and check her out.  _Oyster_ has just been released in the US (and is
  on the verge of a VH-1 inspired breakthrough a-la Joan Osborne or even
  Sheryl Crow, judging by the amount of times they've shown the "Walk This
  World" video and talked it up in the last couple of weeks), but there is
  also the wonderful live album _Blow_ and her first effort, _Glowstars_ to
  enjoy as well.  She's on tour now, too -- on the West Coast for the next
  week or so, then she ends up the tour at Irving Plaza in New York on 
  November 6.
