What struck me was the fact that the first *six* reviews of it that I read were all raves, and they all compared her with Kate! The review that appeared in _Alternative Press_ was, perhaps, the most blatant. The reviewer spends the first paragraph talking about how great _The Kick Inside_ is, and only then starts comparing it with McLachlan's album. _Billboard_ said she "recalls Kate Bush, with that same sort of swirling, ethereal soprano." Personally, I think she sounds more like a cross between Enya and Sinead O'Connor, but I still like it. The review in the _New York Times_ was the only one I saw which wasn't completely favorable, but even they said she was "obviously influenced by Kate Bush." Ed ed@das.llnl.gov
