Didn't see much discussion regarding the one man band, so I thought I'd start one! His name is Nicolas Chapel and his music is inspiring in many ways! The fact that he plays every single instrument and records them is astonishing itself, but the fact that he plays each of them well and mixes them well is even more amazing. Building an Empire is one of my top 5 albums of all time, and Mute, while different, has some unbelievably powerful and moving music!
Naive is a good place to start!
