flowchart was an american band from philadelphia .
the group originally consisted of sean o'neal , craig bottel and brodie budd in 1994 .
their first album `` multi-personality tabletop vacation '' was released in 1995 on carrot top records , garnering negative reviews from critics who found their music to be too similar to the group stereolab .
the group followed the album with several eps that moved away from the stereolab styled sound .
in 1997 , o'neil met erin anderson at a dj gig .
this meeting led to the duo collaborating on music and eventually having anderson join flowchart while bottel and budd left the group .
their second album `` cumulus mood twang '' received positive reviews from allmusic , pitchfork media and `` cmj '' as well as having the group placed on urb 's `` the `` next 100 '' list .
the following releases from flowchart included `` commercial '' in 1999 and `` broken and blue '' in 2003 where the group began to have more of an experimental techno and house music sound .
they later released their third album `` wishworm tracks '' .
both o'neil and anderson began recording their own music in the 2000s , with o'neil recording under the name `` someone else '' and anderson releasing albums as `` fidget '' as well as working at a hair salon that doubled as an art gallery .
