Lifeforms (single)
"Lifeforms" is a song by British electronic music group The Future Sound of London, released as the second single from their 1994 album, '' Lifeforms''. Vocals on the single were performed by Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins. The original version of "Lifeforms" from the album of the same name is present as "Path 3", while the album track "Life Form Ends" from the album can be heard in somewhat remixed form as "Path 5". A 2:50 edit of "Path 4" was used as a radio edit and for the promotional video for the single. It is this version that appears on the commercial compilation album The Best...
