专辑简介

from Ben Ohmart, Asst. Editor, Musicdish.com:

"When Kate began writing and performing in 1991, she was influenced by the neo-folk folks, but she's progressed beyond that now. Her performances are charged with voyeuristic passion, like Fiona Apple writing in a diary, minus the bass drum reliance. The voice, in the Paula Cole range. The poetry, reminiscent of K. D. Lang. The music, a shadow, flitting through alt-rock country. 'After You' is like a balladic version of 'Where Have All The Cowboys Gone,' but with a Pink Floyd backdrop around it, a backing sound of low, moaning synth, a subtle ghost of a subsidy vocal that travels around the somewhat bleak soundscape of darkness. Like listening to Enigma in the closet, with most of the beat removed (but not the trippy drums) and all of the chant gone. A house of closets is how I'd describe Kate's moving from station to Station. As lyrically potent as the cd is, I'm half-surprised to see that the words to the songs aren't printed in the booklet. Only half though, because I know what it costs for an up and coming artist to afford a multi-page booklet in with the cd. Still, would be nice if she'd put the lyrics up on the website - then I could really quote some emotions. It's surprising to hear that these 8 tracks were laid down on a 4-track recorder. Rather revamps my confidence in the homemade sound again, if songs of This quality can be constructed on such a popular machine. So if you're an artist who doesn't think much of non-studio sessions, listen to Kate's movement and learn."
