Me Gusta Electro
Submitted by dr™ on December 20, 2005 - 10:49pm.There once was a time when I didn't like vocals in the electronic music I was listening to. If some wailing diva came into the mix or MC Whack started toasting, that usually killed a track for me. I'm still not a fan of divas or whack-ass MCs, but I don't mind vocals the way I used to (that's not to say that there isn't a lot of vocal-y stuff out there that blows). When it comes to vocals, I prefer those that are either tweaked through machines and are therefore somewhat undecipherable or sung/spoken in a foreign language. Maybe it restores some of the music's mystery that you usually can only get when listening to instrumentals.
