My suggestions for 3 tracks: Inner City: "Good Life" - either the original or the Carl Craig mix - the original is, well, the *original*, but the Carl Craig mix sounds more like Timbaland (with his whispered spoken overdubs about "the good life"). Recloose - "Can't Take It" - enough vocal to be palatable for those who like (need?) vocals, but still top-notch. Reese & Santonio - "The truth of self-evidence" - the vocal is of course from MLK Jr.'s speech, so it's spoken not sung, but still a vocal. I guess maybe a "best of Inner City" might not be a bad starter, as I look back on this list... Cheers, Bill -- http://www.chromedecay.org
