* The "Oralolio" 12-inch on the Ersatz Audio label. "Lost Love" is the best
vocal electro track since I-f's "Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass."
* The second best follow-up to "Space Invaders" comes via I-f himself --
"Secret Desire," the story of a forlorn vocoder ("like Giorgio Morodor")
who's fallen in love with a human. (it's the only vocal track on _The Man
From Pack_, but the rest of the album is good too.)
* Gerhard Potuznik, specifically the three or four tracks on Concorde+ that
feature vocals. Exceptionally hooky.
* Hat's _DSP Holiday_ contains *the most stunning* piece of electronic pop
i've ever heard, "Shinjyuku Photoshop" (vocals by Tetsu Inoue). the rest of
the album is just as good musically, but that's the only vocal track.
* Various tracks on Nobukazu Takemura's _Funfair_ and _Child and Magic_
albums feature prominent vocals, although they're rarely lyrical (mostly
wordless, singsongy intonations, but still *very* pop).
* Kandis' "Claps" EP on Karaoke Kalk features some softly sung vocal bits
on a couple of tracks.
* Takako Minekawa's _Roomic Cube_ and _Cloudy Cloud Calculator_ both
feature moments that recall, variously, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, the
(American) Dust Brothers, and _Smile_-era Beach Boys.
