All about voice! This mix focuses on artists with strange and interesting voices and vocal styles. Some tracks were chosen because of the singer's unique vocal timbre, others because of the use of natural or digital vocal effects like throat singing, falsetto, sampling, hardcore screaming, and pitch shifting.
Original version made in November '07. To MP, for the long drive home.
