This is all interesting, but I think the original post was questioning
what Kate and The Cocteau Twins' Fruitopia ads sound like. He KNOWS
what their music is like, but without hearing an example of Kate's vs.
Liz's commercials, how do you tell them apart?

I don't KNOW, but I doubt that Liz simply does vocals over Kate's music
for her commercials. My guess is that each of their commercials is
original and independent of the other's.
