2. I've got a live version of "Quarantined" by At The Drive-in...
In which they play an extended version of the bridge featuring a melodica and various weird electronic toys to fuck around with vocals and other sounds.

8. A group from Cuba called Vocal Sampling
For everything, including the electric guitar, rhythm and horns are done with their voices. Waay cool, I highly recommend their album "Cambio de Tiempo", great stuff. <http://www.timba.com/artists/vocalsampling/index.asp?page=intro.htm>
