I had never realized this was so rare!  I actually had two of
them (my own purchase and a gift) until someone stole one from
me ... I never understood why anyone would want it until now.
Then again they stole my Belinda Carlisle video too ... lord
knows who would want *that*.  If I had 2 VCR's I'd offer to
dub it ... oops, better keep my voice down. :0

I absolutely agree that every time I play the Ninth Wave I get something
different out of it, whether it be discovering a small nuance or a whole
new feeling based on my emotional state/daily problems at the time. I
compare it to Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons' The Watchmen (which Laurie
Radcliff so smartly quotes in her .sig) ... another work that I don't
think I will ever come close to mastering, no matter how many exposures.

And count me among those who place TSW 3rd on their list of favorite
Kate albums (behind TD and HoL, of course).  Probably a lonely group!
