    If anyone cares..
    His drummer does a lot of the looping.. his name is Dosh and he is himself his own band called DOSH. myspace.com/doshanticon

    It is fairly incredible.. here is a blog from his site saying how the shit works. It is capable of really complex shit, but if you know what the gear is it is actually pretty simple and kind of affordable....

    a lot of folks ask about the live set up, so here it is.... a diagram might be helpful, but i don't have one yet.....

    the gear that i use in my live show is thus:

    fender rhodes 54
    roland juno 106
    dr sample 303
    3mics (beta 52 for the bass drum, sennheiser 602 for
    the snare and a e/v 303 for my "floater mic", which
    i move around to capture different
    sounds, hi hat, cymbals, glockenspiel, dropping metal
    objects, etc.)

    then....

    all of this stuff is run into a mackie 1402 mixer and sent out of the main outs MONO, at which point it passes through these effects:

    boss DD5 delay
    dunlop roto-vibe
    big muff
    akai e1 headrush

    then it goes into the main loop pedal:

    akai e2 headrush

    and the signal gets split into pre-loop and post loop, and the post loop is routed through another boss dd5, which is then routed back into the mackie, via the alternate 3/4 send, and then to 2 DI boxes which is all the sound person gets to mix my set.

    thats it.
