I've been lurkin for a while. For me the most interesting part of this list is other people's interpretations of Kate's songs. Everyone seems to have their own take, which is great. As far as the drug references in 'under ice' go, I remember reading an interview in an irish music rag some years ago where the interviewer put that very interpretation to her. I believe her response was that this was a neat take on the track, but not one that she had intended or thought about. Am I the only one out there to have a more poignant take on "the morning fog"? I've never thought of it as describing a real rescue, to me it's the concluding dream of the drowning woman... Dreaming about her family and how much she loves them is her last thought, and in that way she connects with them for a final time before she dies. The rest of the ninth wave is a waking dream, so why not this too? Just a thought. Is there ANY way of buying the two extra discs on TWW on their own? I seem to remember a post a while back from someone in the Netherlands who mentioned where to order them individually. BTW, favourite album? Can't chose between the Dreaming, HoL, The Red Shoes. I know a lot of people hate "eat the music", but it is one of my favourite tracks on TRS... always makes me want to leap around the room in joy. Sean
