Do You Prefer Electronica With Or Without Vocals?

Khrompot · 03-25-2013, 03:53 AM

I think good electronica doesn't need vocals as the melodies sing to you & tug at the heart strings.

Sometimes a good piece of electronic music says more to me than any song ever could.

To tell you the truth I want as little vocals as possible, just some vocal clips are ok but full out singing... Nahh

Majority of the time with vocals for me, but then again I mainly listen to commercial stuff.

Most of the time I prefer electronic music with no vocals. If vocals are sprinkled lightly through a song that's okay, sometimes, as long as the singing doesn't distract from the music. More than singing, I like spoken word vocals.

The new Matmos was pretty good with vocals for the first time.

Right this is a song with and without vocals, I'm not sure if the version with vocals is slightly remixed or not but it blows the version without lyrics out the water. I generally have no preference but definitely prefer this with lyrics.

Depends on the sub-genre, but I'll usually gravitate toward something with beautifully done female vocals.

definitely, with vocals...

i prefer electric music without the vocals so you foguse on the melody and the beat without a singer who is distracting it

Sometimes the vocals make it... sometimes they break it.
