Plug It Play It Burn It Rip It Drag It Drop It Zip/Unzip It

For some strange reason I really like tracks which use electronic or distorted vocals. Here's a few tunes that do just that. You probably know at least a couple of them because most of these have a degree of popularity or sheer age attached to them but hey it's my blog, and I won't keep you long :)
Daft Punk's Technologic... 'nuff said. It's in the title. If you don't recognise it, surf it scroll it pause it click it. The original here for your techno delight.
Two Imogen Heap tunes - Hide And Seek features aforementioned vocals and Hallelujah is included here more or less because I'm jumping on the blog bandwagon of LET'S EVERYONE BLOG ABOUT FRIGGING HALLELUJAH. And also this is a cool cover.
Laurie Anderson. An oldie this, 'twas released in 1981. Somehow it hit Number 2 in Britain and secured her a 7-album record deal! So here is the very odd but very cool O Superman. Some of Imogen Heap's vocal work seems clearly influenced by her, though I don't know if this is acknowledged fact.
Now on to some slightly more esoteric tracks. If you've even heard of Cloud Cult I'll be impressed, and if you've listened to their delightful and amazing album Advice From The Happy Hippopotamus I'd be even more so. Rockwell is not the only spoken-word track on the album, but I hope I motivate you to go and seek out the entirety of the rest of the album, because it's worth it. If you click on the linked album name they offer a couple of tracks for free download on their official website.
Still Alive has reached popularity with geeks the world over. It is the end credits song to the pretty underground but fantastic game Portal (by Valve Corporation), and was written by Jonathan Coulton of Thing A Week fame. I don't actually know who the singer is and whether to attribute it to them if I did since in-game it does appear to be from the viewpoint of the Artificial Intelligence GlaDOS, so that's good enough for me.

Daft Punk - Technologic
Imogen Heap - Hide And Seek
Imogen Heap - Hallelujah
Laurie Anderson - O Superman
Cloud Cult - Rockwell
GlaDOS - Still Alive

Have a good new year!
