Heh. It isn't that uncommon. Heck, even though J' and I often see eye-to-eye on many things when writing for TC, there are still some things we vehemently disagree upon (case in point).
I know there are folks who find the vocals in Perception complete the track. I find them unnecessary. Such is variety of opinion.

Do you want me to upload a sample for you?

Soooo much agree with this one. I hate those "like this", "like that" vocals. They drive me mad.
Speaking of Vibrasphere I must add In Control is also a lot better without the vocals. Tegma - Spread Out and Skelter, Flowjob - Don't Believe in Mirrors, Chi A.D. - Astral Warrior are also in my list. Might add some more later.

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.
No shit! At 3 minutes I'm always so pissed I have to come back down to reality.

Luke Solomun - People, Places, Thoughts, and Faces (Ajello Mix)
It's not that they totally ruin it - just the way they initially come in makes me cringe so fucking hard. Shame, because it's got a classic 90's Chicago house piano line in it with mild tribal/acid overtones, and I'd love to want to play it way more than I do.

Yeah, the sound on both floating free & in control didn't work imo. Just sounded teacky. Least we got a dub for floating free

not sure why i would want to help a tool like you but anyways, mattsanity, if you bothered to check the other mixes open up you will find the dervish overdrive remix, which in the first part is essentially an instrumental rerub of the original, but more than that.

in those days leftfield's dubs sometimes meant dubs as in jamaica, not as in instrumental. infact, for the most times it was as in jamaica, like the release the pressure and it's accompanying release the dubs

I really hope you're not talking about the one that goes "IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS JACK". That sample is a fucking mantra
