She's quite more important than just as a "vocalist". > Why is it that any time someone produces a good piece of work you yell > "Kate Bush influence!" ? I do??? > Don't you believe some people have thier own talents? I don't recall implying otherwise. My only comment was that Love And Rockets is influenced by Kate Bush and Godley and Creme insofaras use of a certain microphone and a certain gizmo is an influence. Nothing more. And I certainly wouldn't claim that that influence is particularly incredibly important. Why is that anytime anyone makes a silly innocuous comment, someone else has to make a big fuss over it? -Doug Alan nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (or ARPA)
