Yeah, but soft synths in 1996? I'd say his album was one of the first. Hell, most people didn't even own computers, much less ones capable of running the more high-end software in 1996.
And yeah, that wobbly high pitched "wer wer wowww" sound in a lot of LB songs is a banjo string. He used to play a 4 string banjo and had the 4th string replaced with a banjo string. Now he uses a 5 string bass.. with the 5th string being a banjo string.
