Which album? I assume you are referring to their second album called "Umbrella"
I think. 

As I said, it sounds kinda like the Cocteau Twins to me.  I can't understand
a word the singer of the Cocteau Twins is saying, but I still like the Heaven
Or Las Vegas album alot.  I like it for its sound and mood evoking action.
I agree that in (Umbrella) the songs sound very similar, its one of my 
complaints about the album.  The other complaint is that I think it is over
engineered.  But I liked it enough to check out their debut album (no name),
which I like alot more.  The same thing happened when I heard Sarah McLachlins
latest (enjoying the debut more). 

BTW, what is "tuneless" and what is a "tune".  Is is something desirable?
Should all songs have to conform to this "tune" structure?  Is recognition
of a songs lyrics important?  I can't understand much of Elvis Costello's
lyrics, yet I think most would agree that he writes great lyrics.  I've seen
many a message on this newsgroup asking for lyrics to Kate songs.  

I can see not liking Umbrella, but I would have thought different reasoning
from a reader of this group (no flame intended).

eh. opal and mazzy are more paisley country to be comparable to the sundays.
lush in their later period (_spooky_ and the "sweetness and light" ep) are
a good start. bleach is a possibility. someone mentioned the popinjays and
that's a good idea. you might also want to consider the grace pool, though
they might be a bit to "pastoral" for someone who likes the sunday's dream-
iness. the innocence mission's second album is a good comparison as well.

Wow.  I have to strongly disagree.  I think this is definitely an album that
rewards repeated listenings.  I first got a cassette of this from a friend
who worked at a record store.  On first listen, I sort of dismissed them
as Kate Bush clones (the lead singer, Karen Perris, even has a look similar
to Kate (IMHO)).  Anyway, a couple weeks went by and something was nagging
at me to give it another chance, so I did.

I found their music to be very melodic.  Karen's vocals are sweet, but
never shrill.  Their guitars are somewhat folky, similar to the Sundays', but
more electric at times.  The lyrics seem very heartfelt, being introspective,
uplifting, and sad at that same time.  In particular, I found "Notebook" to be
a wonderful song.

Subtleties come out with repeated listens.  Songs that at first sound the same,
diverge.  (Incidentally, my first exposure to David Sylvian was "Secrets of the
Beehive".  I thought a lot of the songs sounded the same.  But again, with 
repeated listenings, subtle nuances come out that give each song it's own color.)

The (Innocence Mission) album is now out-of-print I believe, but I've seen some 
copies in cut-out racks for $6.99 CD (in the Seattle area, at least).

My advice is: Give it a listen and decide for yourself.

That Zoe.  Not a bad album, really -- sure took forever to come out in the
States, though.  Does anyone know if the Orb remix of "Moonsister" is out

alright, I'll jump on the bandwagon here..:-)

in 1984 I heard Wuthering Heights on the radio and I thought it was quite
amazing. When I went to the record store there was a extended mix of
RUTH on record and the cover was a photograph of Kate Bush holding a
a bow, about to shoot an arrow. I found the image interesting and decided
to take a chance on someone I was not familiar with..I bought Hounds of
Love and then proceeded to add the rest of her music to my collection.:-)

I listen to alot of (I guess the industry calls it) New Age 
music.  I call it "space music".  There is a 1 hour show
on public radio ( I  have a listing of all the stations around
the country that carry it) called Hearts of Space produced
out of San Francisco by Stephen Hill and the show is excellent.
Lots of "spacy/digital/synth" music.  The type of stuff you turn
off all the lights to, put on a neon light, turn up the music
lay on the floor and close your eyes.  Makes you thing your elsewhere.

Some artists to tune into are John Sarrie, Ray Lynch, some Kitaro
Lots of good stuff so don't Look down on it, you never know as you've
found out.

Ron also asked:
>Does anyone know of any text files on classical music?

I don't know of any text files on classical music but I do know
of a pretty decent users group for classical music.

CLASSM-L
To get signed on send to;
CLASSM-L-Request@BROWNVM.brown.edu

Actually I might of lied above there.  I am reading down through
my welcome message from the classical music list that I was
sent when I signed on and it says, Archive files can be obtained
by sending an "INDEX CLASSM-L" command to LISTSERV@BROWNVM.  Files
can be retrieved by means of a "GET CLASSM-L filetype" command.

Was this what you were looking for?

Kate fan

I actually like _Sirius_ a lot, but it's undeniably a departure into
big-production for Clannad.  The previous album, _Macalla_, is
substantially closer to their Celtic roots, and the several albums before
that are essentially traditionalist, which may or may not be to your
liking.

Oddly enough I was not enchanted with Kate the first time I heard
her.  I remember it was in 1987 and my lover wanted me to hear
this unusual song based on Emily Bronte's book Wuthering Heights.
After about 15 seconds I asked him to please take the needle
off the record--I thought it was horrible!

Who would have known that just 2 years later I would rediscover
Kate and become a maniacal fan!  Now I love Wuthering Heights
but it was Hounds of Love that reintroduced me to the Goddess.
(Thanks Martiin!)

I first heard Kate as a junior high student, at the time of the Hounds of Love
release, and I was fascinated by the voice on the radio instantly.  Seeing that
album cover with Kate and the dogs, I fell in love instantly.  But it was the
voice and the music that kept me coming back to that tape over and over.

And after having seen "This Woman's Work" in _She's_Having_A_Baby_, every time
I hear the song on my stereo or my Walkman, my eyes well up.  I have started to
cry on public buses for no other reason than that song.  Without ever having
once seen her sing it (though I think it's that incredible sequence in the
film, the single best piece of editing John Hughes has ever done in any movie;
especially the drop of blood and the tear on Bacon's cheek).

Yeah, Kate's beautiful and a picture of her still sets something off in me.
But it's the voice and the songs that touch my soul.

The first one was Wuthering Heights, when it first came out.

I didn't actually become a fan and stuff until 1990, though.

Hmmm.  Interesting.  I got this album as a review copy for the student paper
here, and didn't like it at ALL.  I couldn't understand a word the singer was
saying.  All the songs sounded the same, and all but one or two seemed 
practically tuneless.

I'm a big fan of Tori, Sarah, Jane, and Kate, too.

Any other opinions?

Okay, I suppose it would be silly to ask all of you when/how you
first heard Kate and then not to answer the question myself.

I first heard Kate from a friend in Vancouver in 1981.  The song that got
me was Babooshka.  I found the first album shortly thereafter in Montreal
but after buying Lionheart I was disappointed and didn't get another album 
until 1987 when I bought The Dreaming in London, England.  Then I was in love!
I then completed my collection and went back to Lionheart where I saw it 
entirely differently.  The Dreaming, however, is my favorite.

I am not kyrlidis@athena.mit.edu (Angelos Kyrlidis).  I didn't say:
>Jon wants to remix happy! Is that a compliment or what? ;)

maybe.  maybe not...

so far in my professional career i've had to do two songs (three mixes) that
i found unbelievably distasteful.  ever heard of rozalla?  she's a terrible
lightweight pop dance music songstress (her big hit was "everybody's free to
feel good") and we had to churn out two mixes of "are you ready to fly" in a
few days.  churn was definitely the operative word here, cos that's what my
bowels were doing.  the record company sent us a tape of her vocal track
(and nothing else) with a sheet explaining that it would allow for "maximum
creativity" (read: "we're too cheap to give you the backing tracks.")  yeah
and monkeys might fly outta my butt.  but i digress...

so we sweated and slaved and they didn't even wind up using them.  we did
put one of them out on twitch, but it wasn't quite the same thrill.

on the other hand, epic is putting out a promo 12" of the new prefab sprout
track with our remix on it, and i'm getting a full credit despite the fact
that all i contributed was about 10 seconds worth of hi hat programming.

they weren't on the original tape as far as i can remember (which admittedly
isn't very far).  i didn't throw the tape out - i gave it to ex-love-hound
extraordinaire tracy roberts.  she's since vanished off the face of the
earth.

so like i said, get me a tape of the vocal track and the finished mix for
reference.
