Blue Lamp kinda sounds Roxy Music-ish to me, right? LOVE it. Also think it's better than anything on BD other than EO17.
And, yes, though I officially choose Hounds of Love as KB's best album, The Dreaming is its equal.

I agree.

Your attempt to account for the cauliflower is valiant. You are a better person than I.
