In the case of the new telefon tel aviv album at
least, the singing is quite good. I don't know if
it's the guys from telefon tel aviv who do the
singing, but it is in key and the harmonies are spot
on. It sounds great from a technical standpoint
(whether or not you like the mix of singing + idm is
another issue altogether). Another idm-ish album I
really liked w/ vocals was dntel's 'life is full of
posibilities'. I think the result of that kind of
experimentation is interesting and you're selling
yourself short if you pigeonhole idm as 'no singing
aloud'.
