"This, alone, is enough to distinguish Ka-Spel from the current wave of over-detailed, overly noisy electronic music. His vocals are another key difference. Ka-Spel's detached, almost deranged delivery has become a hallmark of dark electronic music, knocked off by countless would-be Metropolis signees. However, whereas his imitators sound bored, Ka-Spel sounds distant. His vocal lines come through as if they were received on a vintage radio -- compressed and crackly and sagging with the weight of uncertain history. This distinction is critically important: vocals typically give music its humanity, distinguishing electronic music from avant garde experimentation. Ka-Spel, however removed he may seem, communicates a very human detachment; that's why his music remains vital, exciting and relevant after twenty years in the game."
