Mr. Introspective

Hello

About Me

"Logic Problems" and "Beyond Our Comprehension" are now available on itunes. More details on discography section on left of page and news section below...
...Or, you can also buy "Beyond Our Comprehension" here . It's available through my label buddies at roxXOR2. All transactions are done securely through PayPal.
Check out some of the other artists at roxXOR2.
I'm going to write my main influences again here in a vain attempt to appear on the search engines when people look for these bands/artists (heh): Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Isao Tomita, Jaco Pastorius, Billy Sheehan, Rush, Weather Report, Bill Hicks, Chris Morris.
My profile: A single individual's view on the world through the medium of various types of music. Electronica is one of my forms of musical output; I am also a bass player of 6 years and a guitar player of 4.
Also, you can find my other main project, a collaboration on various things with my brother, Marcus Cornall, here
News
26/4/09 - I have finished a new EP. Entitled "Not So Authentic Bubble," it features re-written, arranged and mixed versions of some of the tracks on my first album, "Authentic Bubble," plus a new version of one which didn't make it on to that album but was lurking around at the time. I'll be posting a couple of tracks on here very shortly. And I'll also have 2 new full length albums completed in the next month or 3.
1/01/09 - Happy new year to everyone. As hoped for in the update before, "Logic Problems" and "Beyond Our Comprehension" are now available to buy on itunes. "Logic Problems" is available only as a whole album - it is NOT an EP as itunes have listed it as. It is a single track, split up in to 11 segments, at 43 mins in length. An album, not an EP. "Beyond Our Comprehension" is available as a full album or you can buy separate tracks individually.
22/11/08 - Right, recent news... Logic Problems and Beyond Our Comprehension should be available to buy on iTunes very early in the new year. Logic Problems will only be available (initally at least) in it's entire 43:30 single track form. That's how it's intended to be listened to, so that's how it is! Pieces Of Interest (although with YYZ and Gymnopedies 1 removed due to copyright issues) and Too Much Time To Think will be available not too long thereafter. I'm currently working on a couple of new things, as well as a remastered version of my first album, "Authentic Bubble."
19/8/08 - I've finished a new album, entitled "Too Much Time To Think." It contains 13 tracks and lasts about 53 mins. If you are interested in a copy send me a communication of some sort! Another new album, Covers And Cuts, will be finished before the end of this month.
5/3/08 - Beyond Our Comprehension, originally finshed last year, is now available to buy here . All transactions are through PayPal.
Other People
Some people have said these things about my album "Beyond Our Comprehension." So thanks to them, whoever they are.
"A gorgeously twinkling collection of beard stroking retro prog electro ambient montages" - Losing Today.com
"Mr Introspective specialises in a unqiue brand of electro-prog; it’s a bit funky, a little gloomy, and very impressive...This is brave alternative music that pays tribute to its peers while still speaking for itself. An admirable debut." - The Rock Machine
"Mr Introspective's roxXOR2 debut is a whirlwind of far-out soundscapes, gentle grooves, and magical melancholy - laid out beautifully on a post-apocalyptic backdrop of defiant despair. This is one of the best electronica albums in years." - The Splatter House
