Mine too. It took me months to get into TD. Now I think it is the greatest
album ever. I have also been listening to TSW for months now. It still ranks
at the bottom of my list of Kate's work. It is a good piece of work, but it
just doesn't have that touch of magic I have come to associate with Kate's
work.

I just wish Kate was producing more of the weirdness. Its not like she has lost
it completely, after all there's _Ken_.
