WTF??? Silence has always had vocals as far as I'm aware. And the vocals are really good too - very classy.

And as for cass & slide - perception, the vocals used are absolutly amazing in my opinion! I agree with the comment that it sounds somewhat incomplete without them.

you can respect someones taste and disagree tho mate, it's just a case that when you disagree you do so constructively and have reasons for it!

You're just thick. There are many great vocal trance songs, most of which you probably don't even know about, but in recent years especially the number of meaningless vocal tripe has exploded. Tracks are given shitty vocals in order to sell. Trance as a state of mind does not need vocals, but can tolerate them placed well. These days however, they're usually just cheap, tacky and plain disturbing.

Coldcut - Autumn Leaves (Irresistable Force Mix Trip 2) [1993]


fucking singing just kills this track for me. mixmaster morris couldn't leave it just as an instrumental. nooooooo, he had to keep the crappy vocals in his remix.

Stephen J Kroos - Sadistick (To Be Able Remix) , it was quite easy to edit out the vocals but that didn't make them any less horrible.

Amen to that.

It seriously annoys me when a really good dance track (without vocals) has vocals added to it so the tune can be released comercially, yeah it brings in the money which is what labels are after, but it just makes the tunes crap and thanks to this the average joe bloggs who doesnt listen to dance music instantly thinks its shit, im not suprised how many people hate dance music when all they get to listen to is the crap that spawns from tunes that then add vocals purely for a commercial release.

Originally posted by Mattsanity this thread pretty much belongs to trance songs. however, theres one classic prog house song that I wish removed those ugly vocals and thats leftfield - open up. that dude's presence in that joint is fucking awful god damn. is there a dub of that song? I hope there is, my goodness....

'That Dude' is John Lydon, and absolute legend and the vocals are awesome on that track. An all time classic on it's original form, striping off the vocals would kill the track.

Fully agreed. It took real guts to use Lydon on a progressive house track and the fact that everyone from the critics to the dancefloor to Lydon loved it shows how well it paid off.
