But so? Did I ever say that this the only thing that makes either's music interesting? Did Stravinsky ever do this in a simple love ballad? Had Kate Bush ever even *heard* of Stravinsky when she wrote songs like this at the age of thirteen? Wasn't there probably some music somewhere or another that had this property long before either Kate Bush or Stravinsky? "Tell me we both matter, don't we?" Doug Alan nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP (or ARPA)
