The vocal part in Xtal

in a review it refers to that vocal part as "apparently
taken from a Cocteau Twins recording sampled in a garage."

is this true? Has anyone else heard this? The review is only
by a customer on Amazon.com, but I'm just wondering if it's
true...

i was thinking they sounded a lot like the vocals in the
brian eno song shadow
...maybe brian eno sampled a cocteau twins track??

The bit about it sounding like a Cocteau Twins vocal was
reviewer input--the reviewer means to say that the vocals
are indistinct (typical Cocteau Twins style) and they sound
as though they were recorded in a garage (as many Cocteau
Twins' vocals sound). The vocals, though, aren't from one
of their songs.

I'd like to know where any of the IDM artists get their
vocal samples from, half of them don't sound like they could
come from old records.

That vocal is a decent likeness of Liz Fraser, but that's
not her singing for sure.

A lot of hip hop I can tell, I recognize a lot of
Funkstorungs, AEs, Prefuse etc samples

I love those female voices in the background, their so
soothing it's like they're tickling my brain stem

female.

You know...while that voice COULD be Liz Frasier's, it could
just as well be the Kirsty Hawkshaw lady too...I am not sure
though.

Sorry, I am no help on this...but interesting premise.

He... couldn't... possibly.... have... recorded... one of...
his .... friends... humming like... that... coud he? It'd
be... impossible... especially in the light of the fact that
the next track on the album... Tha.... contains a recording
of his mates talking... it'd be TOO MAD to think he'd
recorded... someone... singing. Talking's one thing.
Singing, or it least la la la ling, is quite another.

If you listen closely, the voice has a Cornish lilt, so it
could be Dicky sped up.

Sounds like there are 3 vocal sounds going THe m,elody, a
constant breathy sound and a pulsing drone. There are also
those little bells. Wonderful song.
