I believe Kate Bush is one of the greatest female vocalists alive, BUT BE REASONABLE!!!! Love and Rockets is actually composed of members of Tones on Tail(!), Bauhaus(sp?) and Jazz Butcher. If you listen to the album you'll discover: a) Vocals and themes are very similar to Tones On Tail ; b) Melodies and textures of sound are very Bauhaus-like; c) A lot of rhythm and base lines are reminescent of Jazz Butcher. Why is it that any time someone produces a good piece of work you yell "Kate Bush influence!" ? Don't you believe some people have thier own talents? -- -----------------------------------+ With deep indifference, "I disbelieve an army of invisible | Oleg Kiselev. mind-flayers!" | DISCLAIMER: "OK.
