*Great* band with an exceedingly good vocalist: Elizabeth Fraser. In some of
their songs there are no lyrics, she's just singing weird words which mean
nothing but sound *great*. She's using her voice as an instrument. Also it is
sometimes hard to distinguish between the songs in which the singing actually
makes up real words and the songs with the 'freestyle' sort of vocals.

Well, as we know, rumour has it that FSOL will make use of Frasers voice on
their forthcoming output...how's that for a superb crossover...yihaaaa!
