''The Incredible Sound Machine'' was a further departure from Mantronix's original, heavily [[synthesizer|synthesized]] old school hip hop sound, and relied instead on Goring's vocals on the majority of the album's [[new jack swing]], [[R&B]], and [[house music]] influenced tracks.<ref name="Allmusic ''The Incredible Sound Machine'' Review">{{cite web | url = {{AllMusic|class=album|id=r12391|pure_url=yes}} | accessdate = 2006-11-18 | author = Henderson, Alex | title = Allmusic ''The Incredible Sound Machine'' Review | publisher = AllMusic.com | date = }}</ref>
