Tara Patterson (Autocreation)
Miquette Giraudy (System 7)
Nina Walsh (Sabrettes, one half of Slab)
Lida Huzik (done loads of stuff with Beaumont Hannant)
Lai (one half of Lamb)
Annie Williams (if that's her name... done a single on R&S with Mark
van Hoen)
Beth Orton (sung with Chemicals & Two Lone Swordsmen)
Billy Ray Martin (ex-Electribe 101, worked with Spooky, single on
Apollo)
one half of Exquisite Corpse (dunno her name)
Wonder (Secret Knowledge)
the singer of Morcheeba
Martina Topley Bird (sings with Tricky)
and I think Sabine of R&S deseves a honourable mention.<<<<<<
Um...the singer of Morcheeba is Skye Edwards. If you know who all the
rest of those people were, I'm really at a loss for how you could miss
out on Skye's name; she is, after all, one of the best vocalists within
this genre since Beth Gibson of Portishead.
