OK, after reading this group for a bit I went and got my first
Kate album - The Hounds of Love.  Wow, I am impressed. Or perhaps
enchanted is a better word. 

After much listening and musing I've got a couple of questions
about the album (if these are elementary, pardon me, I know so
little...(if everyone knows, then email replies, don't
bother posting.))

1) Why are Werner Herzog and Terry Gilliam given thanks in the
album's credits?

2) Are any of the uncredited male voices Peter Gabriel's? For that
matter, it struck me that both HoL and PG III album are similar in
that neither seems to have any high hats/cymbals in the percussion.

3) Anyone else notice a strong similarity in sound and technique
between  'Waking the Witch' (truly a striking song) and the stuff on 
the Eno/Byrne album 'My Life in the  Bush of Ghosts' (particularly
the rather frightening  'Jezebel Spirit')?
