quoted 1 line What do other IDM'ers think of singing on electronic music?> What do other IDM'ers think of singing on electronic music?
Vocals are fine if they are done in the interest of the music, not if
they are done to cater to the mindless masses who can't accept any music
unless someone is blabbing over it the whole 4 minutes. I think the
fellow before was objecting to the sort of pointless wailing found on
alot of jungle-lite, most noteably (sing it with me)
"Tiiiiiiimmmmeeeeeeeeelllleeeeeeeeesssssss" and the like with singers
who can't think of anything better to sing than the same lyric again and
agian inercut with a bunch of howling like a gibbon in heat.
As for IDM in general...FSOL did it well with Liz F. of Cocteau on
Lifeforms, Orbital did a fine job of it on Snivelisation (lets not talk
about the box), haven't heard Girl/Boy yet but from what I hear, DMX
Crew, Mike & Rich...anyway, it can be done.
