Friday Night Music #5 - Cocteau Twins with Faye Wong

The Cocteau Twins, active in the 80s and early 90s, were unique, but two elements stand out; the brilliant, crystalline, "shoegaze" sound of the guitars and synths (Robin Guthrie's contributions), and Lis Fraser's "voice of god". No other single was able to approximate her brilliant vocals except Chinese singer Faye Wong, best known to nerds as the singer of "Eyes on Me" in the video game Final Fantasy 8. This track was never recorded, as far as I can tell, by Fraser, but features the other Twins. Because Fraser's lyrics were generally not intelligible (at least until relatively late in her career), I don't particularly mind not understanding anything Wong is saying.
