remember those bbc MPEG audio tracks that were out a year or so
ago? remember that 808 state contribution, lopez? very nice track. so i
see it on CD5 at a store recently and i pick it up because i loved the
mpeg and i wanted a cd quality version. so i put it in and play it and
it's filled from front to start with some shitty wailing and mariah carey
lyrics. why would they do that to such a great song, i can think of one
reason-- make it more appealing to the masses of idiots out there who
think they can only like a song if it has lyrics. and for this, i say
fuck you 808 state. and no, there is no way that the lyrics were placed
in to increase the quality. it sounds very pasted-on-there-afterwards
let's sell out to the lowest common denominator.
fyi, there are 4 or 5 mixes all of very mediocre quality.. ALL with the
singing.
please comment.
