Kate inundation, part the second
Having listened to Lionheart and Never For Ever a little, though admittedly not really enough, Never For Ever is clearly the stronger album, although England My Lionheart is admittedly a great song. Lionheart really does come across as an LP of out-takes from the sessions for The Kick Inside though, and feels pretty insubstantial.
Today a spanking new CD copy of The Kick Inside - the first Kate LP I bought, on vinyl of course - has arrived. I'm interested to see whether I still think it's any good, as I loved it when I first bought it, more for the left-of-centre material like Strange Phenomena and Them Heavy People than the "classics" like The Man With The Child In His Eyes and Wuthering Heights.
The other disc that arrived this morning was The Sensual World which I borrowed off a mate at school (I think it was Richard Daft) on cassette. I hated it then - my overriding impression was that Kate was smoking too much and relying on reverb to hide her shredded, dry vocal chords. My expectations of this one aren't too high.
Just waiting for a CD copy of Hounds of Love now.
