hey all,
i am listening to "a beautiful place..." by BOC and i just love that computerized or vocoder voice.
i think i actually like all tracks that have vocoder sounds in it.
what do you think? what's the best vocoder-sound / song ever?

A beautiful place is definitely the best vocoder song. (its one of the best songs of any genre! how can it not win top vocoder song? ;)

All Kraftwerk shit is great with vocoders. You should know that you're german, and your pic is also very Kraftwerk-ish :))
Cut The Midrange Drop The Bass is also cool from Cylob. But there is definitely much more.

I think one of the more creative uses of one is in Labradford - Gratitude.
Also Gentle People - Superstar stands out too.
But neither one is better than BoC.

There is a acapella version of Kraftwerk's "Expo 2000" with only those wonderful vocoded voices.
I think that track clearly shows that Kraftwerk is the masters of vocoding.

Expo 2000 has probably some of the most detailed and excellent vocoder voices ever. As a track, Space Lab is better imho though. Simple yet genius.

The Macintosh comes standard with text-to-speech software. (At least my vintage 1995 model did). I've heard it used by Radiohead, AFX and Cylob. I forget the name of the actual voice, I'm sure someone here remembers. (Was it Fred?)

air's ' le soleil es de moi' or whatever is realy nice.. console's '14 zero zero' is very good..though its more of a computer voice...
as is dmx krew's 'the glass room' underworld's 'tongue', 'cups' and 'juanita' are also great vocoder songs..

I've never heard more creative and awesome use of the vocoder than on Vision Creation Newsun. I think it's like a wah pedal and a vocoder being used together. Can't go find the tracks right now, maybe dich em out later.

If you want a vocoder program, check out the Cylonix Vocoder. Pretty dope program, only problem being the .5 second lag during sound processing on all real time work. What I do is record all my stuff to tape and then run it thru the program and it comes out sounding all nice. If you are looking for a VST effect, the orange vocoder (I forget the company name, but it shouldn't be too hard to find) has a really nice lush sound. It can make all your music sound like it was done by the Orb :)

Mogwai do some pretty nice things with vocoders i.e. Hunted By A Freak, but I think its just there to mask the fact they havent got particularly good voices.
