I think the vocals do add a large slab of cheese to the track.
The reason I used Who Do You Love Now? as my example is because it is in a very similar situation. Riva's Stringer was a really good track, but when those God awful vocals got plumped on top, it was there soley for making money and it was soooooooooooo cheesey (hell, still is cos its never off the radio).
Perception was a perfect track I think. A true classic. But the added vocals ruin it for 2 reasons:
1) They add nothing to the track. They are just there for the people who can't have a song they can't sing along to (and I don't mean people who only like music with singing, but Perception doesn't have a big melody you go around singing.)
2) Whenever I listen to the original which I loved, I start to sing the vocals in my head, and it takes away the enjoyment.
Don't get me wrong, I am a big lover tracks with vocals. For example, I love:
Starecase - Faith (Loafer Mix)
Slam ft Tyrone 'Visionary' Palmer - Lifetimes (Original Mix)
Ernesto vs Bastian - Lonely People (Mix 1)
But in those the vocals add something. In Perception the vocals only detract 
Which is a sad think.....
Also, I suspect that most people who like the vocal mix probably didn't really enjoy the original too much....
One more thing: I was surprised when Nucleogenesis said Perception was a "mind blowing song to chill to". For me, this is the sort of song I would (or would have) gone mental on a dance floor to. It packs so much energy, but in a deceptive way. I wouldn't be surprised if a few peoples heads exploded while dancing to it |
Nice writing mate but I've one short answer to that all
THE VOCAL IS AWSOME no matter who you are or what you say!!!!
