Well the vox/no vox argument is a bit narrow-minded for my taste - if
it's great music, it's great music!
I do agree though that some vocal music can sound cheesy, but so can
horrid synth patches on some "online label" stuff I've heard (eg
monotonik). It just puts me off completely.
I like the way herbert does it: sample bits live, incorporate the
vocals on top of that, and just give the listener a kicking track!
Tel Aviv did it their way and it sounded incredible. they didn't
interfere with the beats at all, which put me off a bit, but then their
tunes are all pre-arranged so there really is no room for
improvisation.
We do it the other way around with my elec-jazz impro project: no
vocals, great iinstrumentalists and electronic musicians, and pretty
open forms.
