I was driving and Madonna's Like a Prayer came on the radio today, emboldened by the soaring gospel choir in the second half. Lovely stuff.

One of my favourite ever songs, just stunning.

Another is this, which again sounds like a choir but probably isn't. (not a song though)

I Believe In You - Talk Talk

[buzby]

The tape-based Choir Organ that lived at Bavaria Studios, which features on Popol Vuh's soundtrack to Aguirre. Similar to a Mellotron, it had 88 tape loops of a choir singing each note of the scale.

On a aimilar theme, 10cc - I'm Not In Love. The band recorded themselves singing individual notes onto 12-foot tape loops. These were then bounced onto 13 tracks of the 16 track tape machine at Strawberry Studios so they could be 'played' with the faders of the mixing desk.
