Re: Acapella Loopers

Cool, thanks. I'll be checking out Pushing Air and David Moss.

Funny, I guess Kid Beyond would, technically, classify as acapella 
singing, though I didn't think of him in this sphere. He's certainly an 
amazing performer, but his work doesn't do much for me, as least so far. 
I'm mostly impressed by his technique and will be interested in hearing 
stuff he does outside of the dance genre, which he seems to fit quite 
(too?) neatly into.

Looking forward to your next work.!
