House is based on song forms, techno is not. It's more like through composed. I recently posted something to the IDM group regarding a similar idea - vocal club tracks: <<It reminds me of the classic criticism of opera: The words and the song form slow down the action of the drama. I get the same feeling about a lot of vocal club music. The vocal part slows down the energy of the trance/techno sounds. (Maybe it's expectations of what those sounds/rhythms are capable of?) Techno and trance have a very different feeling than house and one of the big things that make it different is the nonreliance on the voice and vocal forms. I'm not talking about vocal snipets, like "ya baby", or "take me higher". I'm talking about a song form like intro, verse and chorus kinda stuff. Where the form of the track is determined by verse and chorus repetitions- something that you usually don't find in techno - and I know there are exceptions. I'm just hearing more and more vocal tracks that are trying to blend techno and trance sounds with a vocal track. Is there a commercial reason for these vocal tracks? Like you have a better chance to break into the top 40 with a vocal track? >> Any Ideas? mediadrome --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
