As long as Misty gets that top 10 spot I'll be fine.

"Experiment IV" is the only single from her 1986 compilation album The Whole Story. It tells the story of scientists developing sounds that have the ability to kill people (Train?). It is one of the few singles to receive no 10s whatsoever, however well more than half of the scores were in the 7-9 range, pushing it above many. I strongly enjoy the concept of this song (and the stellar video) but much like "Eat the Music" I feel like this song just doesn't end up going anywhere and sounds a bit repetitive at times.
Also, all of her compilation album singles and random other singles are officially all out now. The only non-studio album that remains is her Peter Gabriel duet.

"Deeper Understanding" is the track to get the most 10s so far, I think. It's really no surprise why. The remix version (the track was originally on The Sensual World but edited in 2011 as the lead single to Director's Cut) is one of her most ambitious songs. It is the story of a human who becomes obsessed with a computer. Her son speaks through a vocoder as the computer's voice. I think it's a great idea but slightly awkward in execution, and I sometimes slightly prefer the 1989 album version.

This is OUTRAGEOUS! The best single, by far.

Everything's been going pretty well so far! It's time for the other songs from her first album to go, barring the classic.

"Strange Phenomena" was the final single from Kate's debut, The Kick Inside. It was released only in Brazil well after Lionheart was released (I couldn't find any info on how successful it was there). The song contains a memorable piano riff and some of her most enjoyable early vocals, but I feel like I definitely gave this maybe a point too high of a score. Most voters went with the good-but-not-great scores, and it only received one score below 6.

And So Is Love should be in the top 10 sis.
Something from The Dreaming (sans There Goes A Tenner) should go next.

"Wild Man" is the first and only "official" single from 50 Words for Snow. The song peaked at #73 in the UK and nowhere else. I find it to be a very soothing song with the most dynamic vocals on the album. For those that found the other tracks from the album to be boring, this is the exception. It's subdued but not too much.
