Catherine has very considerable talent. Her keyboard dexterity, sensitivity and skill serve as the mainstay on this erratically produced demo. There are very beautiful, ethereal vox box on "Knowing You're There"; carefully recorded and quite inspiring. Then you get mike popping on the lead vocal which destroys all the goodwill that has been nurtured. A classic 4-track demo, in that sense, which is a shame because with extra care and thought with both arrangement and engineering, this could have resembled Kate Bush at her best - Catherine sounds very much like the early Bush. The quote on the sleeve from Carl Jung is a bit iffy. But don't let that put you off, Catherine is a fine new singer/songwriter.
