I really thought this was a Geir thread.

you never know...he could be spawning multiple personalities.

nah, Geir's linguistic exaggerations tend to take place in his punctuation (see A good old-fashioned tune never goes out of fashion. Rap and techno are going to die!!!!!). this one has a "sooo," which automatically disqualifies him.

that wasn't really Geir that did that thread though. (the linked Rap & Techno one, that is)

― Broheems (diamond), Friday, 21 November 2003 06:54 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, I guess you're right. even those exclamation marks seemed out of character for him, now I think of it.

Geir is an enigma wrapped in bacon.

Yet ANOTHER cerebral rock fan!

He means the various 'phasey', flangey whatever studio effects the vocals, particularly the backing vocals, are processed through. It's become the hallmark of r&b production to make them sound a bit 'freaky' (not 'beautiful' like '80s Jam & Lewis or something). I suppose it fits the sleazy lyrical content in many cases (perhaps that's what lies at the root of the trend). But otherwise it's just become something producers do because everyone else is doing it.
