moloko have also done some wicked tunes. and i love lamb, they are just so nice.
shame massive attack went ultra ambient.
i think there is more good music now than people think. just there is more manufactured music as well and there are two major culprits for this
culprit 1: antares auto tune.
that little bitch helps any singer sing in pitch. i also think it is no major coincidence that scince the hardware version came out more and more of what i would consider to be lame voiced pop singers are singing live.
culprit 2: melodyne
this little cunning bit of software enables you to manipulate audio information like its midi. in breif you can taKE one vocal line and construct a huge multipart harmony out from it. i hear it on a lot of the poo that comes out from the radio. same as antares, once you know what your listing for you can hear it.
