No evidence, no flames, just a thought... :-) Nice thought, though I don't understand its mechanism. I discovered Kate as a direct result of |>oug's raving about HOUNDS OF LOVE, but I found TSW to be a remarkably queefy and uninspired little album. Where HoL was a solid pleasure and full of wonderful moments, I think TSW is much less coherent and with pleasant interludes few and far between. (The best track, IMHO, was "This Woman's Work", which wasn't even new.) As I said, I'm not sure what the theory MEANS, because I *also* enjoy all her previous albums. TSW is by my way of thinking the weakest of the lot (and I mean to imply as much weakness as possible).
