I'm just not into the 'synthisized lyrics' thing where you sample someone singing and then repeat it to oblivion in a track, to me it ruins the track. Milkman isn't like this because the vocals are actually a part of the whole song, without the vocals there wouldn't be no melody. The vocals in, say the first track of 2nd Toughest in the Infants are monotonic, cheesy and boring. My 2 year old 2nd cousin could come up with something better than that. Granted, the tune is actually wonderful, but the vocals ruin it, IMO. it's good thing that the vocals only are in there for a few short minutes in that track. -- __ __\ \ Aurafix aka Hillie / PHD ^ DAMONES (aka Rare Guy) / /_\ \ http://www.clark.net/pub/buh/index.html \_____/ >> buh@clark.net >> < > .. >> .<>> >> > , m7= inducing mindwaves.. electronic techno muuusik controlled manually by a p h e x t wi n .. .. . . .
