Well, unless you like the sound of the moaning. Aside from all of the neat conceptual things that her album brings forward, I also just like the sound of the human voice being used in unusual/unmusical ways. I think it's the same reason why I dig the way the Soft Pink Truth (aka Drew Daniel) works with voice samples. here I'm thinking of "Coat Check" or "Soft Pink Missy" or "Everybody's Soft". Akufen, too, now that I think about it. Luis (a small point of detail: isn't most of the moaning coming from Tagaq, not Bjork? I suppose it's not always that easy to tell them apart when the texture is that dense) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Politics is parlour tricks." -W.
