Broken Social Seen It

Five years before You Forgot It In People there was Cornelius.

It's all there. The timid vocals, the electronic flourishes, the hyperactic drums, the female background singers, the guitar shredding, the layered production. The singing is in Japanese instead of Canadian, but it's basically the same things as "Almost Crimes" or "7/4 (Shorelines)."

Cornelius - New Music Machine

And this was released by one guy in 1997 instead of 10+ in 2002.

you may also want to know that cornelius has messed around with UNKLE and has remixed and has been remixed by many great artists. you can pick these an dseveral other cornelius albums up fairly cheaply on amazon... cornelius mixes 2 (cm2) is extremely pricey, but definitely worth it if you become hooked.

hell, his whole catalog is worth the cash.
