[edit] "Lack of Clarity"

Noted this little squirt of text;

"The album contains extensive analogue overdubbing, as evidenced by a notable lack of clarity to the recording.[2] The songs "Deeper Understanding", "Never Be Mine" and "Rocket's Tail" all feature backing vocals by the Bulgarian vocal ensemble the Trio Bulgarka. The Sensual World went on to become her biggest-selling album in the U.S., receiving a Gold award four years after its release for 500,000 copies sold. In the United Kingdom album charts it reached the number two position.[3]"

Now, even the review notes state (rather obviously):

"A few things are worth mentioning. First, he had the mis-fortune to hear the CBS Lp release. Anyone who wishes to truly hear Kate's music should run out and buy British Lp pressings. The British EMI pressings aren't the quietest, (the Japanese are) but they are the most musical."

As such I am amending the comments, the judgement is ultimately based on a flawed item and distorts the entire piece (suggesting that the album, in itself, is 'wrong'). As a CD audio owner since release I can't say I've ever noticed any of the issues this single reviewer has (and something that isn't picked up on at all in any other review on the same page).Koncorde 11:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
