cocteau twins

I recently procured a copy of "treasure" by the
cocteau twins, and I'm completely enamored with
the vocal tone on this album, does anybody have
any insight as to how the group obtained that
completely unique tone, besides Elizabeth Fraser
being god on earth.
to me, it feels like a really short decayed
digital verb with a large room setting.

Don't know for sure but know the music of which
you speak. YOu're on the right lines. They were
pioneers of ethereal vocals, layers of vocals
(and guitars) but those layered vocals are buried
so sound more like a nice sound rather than
powerful lyrics etc.
Robin Guthrie also used this technique producing
Lush (examples, sweetness and light and the whole
of the Spooky album), layers of chorused and
phased guitars with layers of ethereal twin
vocals buried in the mix. This was something that
My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and other
'shoegazing' indie pop of the day also used, MBV
differing in that they often put up a wall of
industrial sounding guitars as an antidote to the
sugar sweet voices.
