Vocals In Techno ?

[slavestudios]

could this be whats needed to help techno move forward ?



personally, i always loved techno for its lack of vocals, but i think maybe it may help to move some more emotion into the music if done right..

and i dont know exactly what 'right' it is... thinkin 'Disconnevt' by Plastikman.



dunno.. jus a thought. i think it may help give tracks a bit more individuality & personality maybe.

you know a Green Velvet track a mile off & Rush has his very own sound with vocals.



what think the people ?

[RDR]

I do this all the time.

Have a listen to one of my tracks on me site called dub riot. Vocals in the break.

( shamless plug)

I love vocals.

I don't think any one solution is going to be a catch-all solution to end all of Techno's woes.

That's if it really has any, which I still think is arguable.

i concur. it isnt gonna solve whatever the problem is, but it might give us all summat new to think about & listen to for a bit & maybe cause ppl to think differently about other aspects of production.

Millions of god-fearing Americans might argue with you there.

Well, I`m doing a lot of this myself.
Although the vocals are also approached with the same attitude as the techno.
Experimental literature or prose fitted to the music.
Although I think it then becomes more of a listening thing, than a dancefloor thing.
Which is fine by me.

ive always loved vocals, but like anything, when its over done by everybody it can get tedious, just like the chanting everybody decided to use.

i think a good mxitrue is whats needed, one thing i am pleased at lately is the ammount of synths being used again

Some of Alexander Kowalski’s stuff has really opened me up to the fact that vocals/singing in techno can in fact be really good—if done properly. I felt he really hit it out of the park on Response in terms of vocals. That said, I do believe that singing in techno is one way that techno can advance, though not the only way. I would hate for lyrics in techno tracks to become the rule rather than the exception.

If I think about vocals in techno,
i think about the vocoders in early Luke Slater tracks.

[audioinjection]

i love vocoders

though over used, still dope

I dunno man, Bush`s push for I.D instead of evolution to be taught in schools is a little bit frightening.

Christ no, they way I look at music means vocals can be a tool of the devil if abused. It all has to do with how the music in my eyes interacts with the vocals, techno to me has always been a pure form of musical expression, it's like a little self contained bundle which impacts the listener using a variety of intermingled sounds to express an emotion of some sort. Stuff with vocals in it, and I'm mostly talking chart pish here, doesn't have that freedrom of expression within the music, because instead your attitude to it is being shaped by the vocal lead and in fact it draws people listening it into conformity about the music.

I don't see why everyone is in such a big fuss about the creationism vs evolution argument in America. It's a simple enough matter to solve, simply teach both. I mean creationism is hardly the most complex subject in the world

Creationism 101: On the first day God created the universe, and on the seventh he rested.

Sorted, one half hour session somewhere then they can get back to teaching the kids an actual science.

Ah but the problem is, that they don`t want evolution to be taught at all.

[Mirsha]

There is only one way they'll ever really settle this isn't there? When the creationist have been bred out of the population by an evolutionary process.
