well this is always intresting,  I have read in multipul places (keyboard,
Future music and eq) That the song in question was a digitech talkbox
vocoder preset using a nord lead as a carrier.  So what was it?  let me
offer a possible explanation in a recent interview french producer Mirwais
explains his experiments with antares auto-tune plug-ins, describing it
exactly as Mr. De Bievre does, I think you have the queens confused
