TRS was my first Kate CD, purchased when I was in high school. I loved it at the time, but little did I know what wonders awaited me in her back catalog. While now it's pretty clear this album doesn't rank anywhere near the top, I couldn't live without the following songs...

The Red Shoes
Rubberband Girl
And So Is Love
Big Stripey Lie
Moments Of Pleasure
and possibly... Constellation Of The Heart or Lily.

I have a soft spot for The Line, The Cross, and The Curve. I just loved it when once I got it, showed it to all my friends. Many laughs were had. I haven't watched it in eons, but I am glad Kate did it, even if she hates it now.

Recently I saw The Red Shoes (1948 film) on a big blow-up television at a free outdoor event near where I live. It was most interesting; made me wonder just what it was about the story that fascinated Kate so much.

In any case, I like this album a lot. There's a fragility in the lyrics that cannot be denied, and most of the music is just ace.
