Of course, the vocal line is the same in both of these tracks. The rhythm
is different, but the notes are the same--or *note*, rather. These
one-pitch melodies (or, on other tracks, melodies with very very limited
spans) suggest a kind of anti-melody that, for me, keeps the vocals from
being too prominent. J
