Name that voice

Can anyone help me definitively identify this female vocalist? (link to MP3 provided)
The voice at the beginning is Bono reading a poem -- then a woman starts to sing. The song is beautiful (it's a cover of an old U2 song, from the War album). But who is this singing?? I have googled it like mad and I can't come up with anything. If any background information will help, the song is called Drowning Man -- and I have no idea where I got it (not very helpful, I know).
Here's the song

Response by poster: Hmmm... you may be right. Nice Googling talents, my friend -- I never ran into her with my searches. Can anyone confirm that the song on my link is actually the Madeline Iris cover?

Best answer: It looks like it's listed and availble through Rapidshare in part 4 on this page.
NB: I've no idea if the download is safe or not.

""drowning man" covers u2" for the record. Hope you find an answer, there's nothing out else out there under that name, which I find odd.

Response by poster: I think I'm going to assume that the Madeline Iris cover is in fact the cover that I have -- there don't appear to be any other covers of the song out there.
Thanks Leon for the name -- and thanks vers for the site.

Not sure either, but maybe this will help: Bono's reading The Mother of God by William Butler Yeats.

crapples, just to confirm (not by downloading the file, never that way, uh uh), it is indeed Madelyn Iris.
