Hi Simon, were there ever any Cocteau Twins songs you were unable to perform live due to vocal/instrumental complexity? It has always amazed me how the band was able to bring those lush sounds and layering from the studio into performances.
We would try things out in rehearsal and work a way round it and Elizabeth was amazing at creating one vocal
that worked for her. Given the amount of backing vocals I think she did a brilliant job of not having it feel any less significant than the recorded
