I've got two of those three. The Kate Bush record will be a grower, but I've played it several times
already. The Thomas Dolby album has several sharp pop songs, and it seems to pick up where the
excellent "Astronauts & Heretics" left off with regard to arrangements. But there's nothing as moving
as "Beauty of a Dream" on there.The one that's really grabbed ahold of me recently is Wilco's "The Whole Love." I like all their work with
Nels Cline, but this one is particularly varied and yet really consistent with quality. The final track is
one of the best songs I've heard in quite some time and reminds me a bit of the way Kevin Gilbert used
to be able to marry a longer prog-like song structure with more intimate singing and good lyrics.
