Here's some music news about a handful of different artists that might be of= interest to many here... - Plug Reserach is also poised to release some impressive new releases. The= first is a two part compilation called Voices in My Lunchbox Vols 1&2 on= which wellknown electronic artists experiment with vocals. Volume one of = this two part series features Pole, Carmen Tejada, Kit Clayton, and= Smyglyssna. Pole's remix of the Quarks track licensed from the Monica label= in Berlin is quite exceptional. Pole adds Japanese vocals to his signiture= pops & clicks. Carmen Tejada shows son John, who produced the track, that= her operatic vocals will also work on his electronic production. Kit= Clayton adds vocals to a melodic dub track that flows very well. Also Mr.= Smyglyssna uses the beautiful voice of Cornelia to structure an absolutely= brilliant peace of music. The artists on this comp show us that vocals can= still be a healthy instrument in the making of unconventional home based= electronic music.
