Here is my rant

Why do ppl keep adding vocals to vocaless tunes. They have wrecked so many songs that way.

1.Riva - Stringer into Riva - WHo do you love now (totally destroyed it)
2.DJ Tiesto - Flight 643 - tune was decent but they wrecked it
3.DJ Tiesto - Urban Train ........why add a vocal to such an amazing tune
4.three drives on a vinyl - sunset on ibiza......amazing tune, they added a vocal and destroyed the song

i could keep going on.....please ppl......don't wreck songs by adding pointless vocals.

I totally agree man. I mean, vocals are fine if the track is designed with them in mind, but if people are just going to add vocals to perfectly good tracks (you have mentioned several good examples), there is a MUCH greater chance to do more harm than good.

Personally I'm not that big of a vocals fan anyway. Give me a melody anyday. :) Though I recognize (and love) beautiful vocals when I hear them. :cool:

1.Riva - Stringer into Riva - Who do you love now
Original Stringer was good thats all that matters

2.DJ Tiesto - Flight 643
Original Flight 643 was good thats all that matters

3.DJ Tiesto - Urban Train
Have to agree on this one :D

4.three drives on a vinyl - sunset on ibiza
Never heard the vocal version of it but original is amazing thats all that matters :D

Agreed. I must say however that the Coast 2 Coast Vocal Remix of 4 Strings - Take Me Away (Into The Night) wouldn't be half as gorgeous as it is if it didn't use the pointless vocals added to the original.

almost all he songs that they add vocals to have an original mix without them so it dosent bother me as long as i get the original version.

I agree, tracks that are produced with vocals are sometimes pretty good, but adding vocals later is almost always a disaster.

For sure, there's so many tracks out there now, that were just ruined by vocals.
This is trance music right???... So how are you gonna be put into a Trance from a song when it limits your imagination by vocals??

I agree, there have been so many good tracks ruined by vocals.
Vocals are more often unnecessary than not,
recent example:Snap vs. Plaything- Do you see the light (Push vocal remix) what a great tune ruined by the silly singing!

also
---The Space Brothers - Everywhere I go -- it's great that there is paul's dubber verious of this ruined track.

Vocals are only good in my oppinion ,if it's incredible lyrics, if it's an incredible voice, or if it is used as an insrument, like in
James HOlden- One For you or in Orbital - Halcyon & on & on.

agree that they are used to make it appeal to the public, tracks like Rapture and Riva- Who do you love now, are the only ones that have a chance on mainstream radio.

Ok, well I havent read all the posts, but this is my view.

SURE some tracks OK most tracks get ruined when added stoopid vocals. But I gues then the track caters for 2 crowds because there are your typical vocal trance crowds who like the female vocal and I admit I like that, but the track with no vocals pleases the non vocal trance crowd... I guess in the end it pleases both crowds, and cheesy vocals are what sell a lot of the tracks...

OK im ranting on, ill leave it at that :)
