Chameleon, blecch ...
I can see why khannan suntharam said what he did ... I've heard a few Goldie
tracks that made me think to myself, "Hmmn, some nice noises in here ... "
and then some vocal comes along and suddenly the snares-that-never-stop of
Jungle combined with the vocals just puts me right off of it.

Vocals suck. Hehehe hehe hehehehe ...
If I wanted vocals, I'd sing Joy Division songs in the shower ...
(But seriously folks)
I don't mind when a vocal snippet is used as an instrumental addition - the
odd Ofra Haza sample here and there, fer example, or the Karen Carpenter
motif from "No One In The World" - but I have little tolerance for singing or
House divas (outside of the club/rave environment). Being one of those
people who's been pummeled for the past 30 years by guitar/bass/drums/vocals
and who "bounce[d] violently in the opposite direction", I resent the
implication that it's "my loss" because I'm sick of conventional music and
vocals. Whatever floats yer boat mate ...
