I don't know.  I'm not criticizing it.  The Whole Story is my fave 
because of the breadth of it and probably because the vid version 
is the first Kate I ever owned.  HOL has Ninth Wave.  That is 
Kate's first real masterpiece in my opinion.  I love The Sensual 
World but I have pavlovian problems with the album: in short form,
I listen; I cry.
