vocal loops
Hey all,

I've always been intrigued by Karl's statements that the voice is just another instrument, and is sometimes subservient to the beat, at least for dance music. Poetry has been descrived as the best words in the best order, and maybe in the case of Karl's lyrics, this also has to do with the best sounds in the right order, too.
But what i really dig is the looping of phrases in Underworld tracks, such that they act like a melodic hook and drop in and out like any other sound would.
I don't mean just repeating a word a few times (lager x 3), but rather a word or phrase that's looped to infinity. Examples:

Cowgirl: "everything everything"

Pearls Girl: "crazy crazy crazy"

Spoonman: "talks to God" and "into the blood"

Dub Shepherd: "walk with me" (a neat case, as the sound of the words has little competition with other songs)

This seems to be pretty unique for UW (afaict). What are the tracks i'm forgetting with a vocal loop?
