Well, it's not a "traditional" A cappella album as it incorporates a lot of early digital processing, but nonetheless, it's comprised entirely of Todd's voice. Worth a listen if you're into "what's possible" with A cappella music.

Here's Pentatonix doing Gotye. The bass vocal sound in the chorus is unlike anything I've ever heard.

And here's my favorite a capella album, which is a collection of a cappella bluegrass gospel. Incredible!

That inspired me to teach myself that song, and I've worked up my own little arrangement   :)

(not a cappella, though)

Here's my version:

Very cool! A great song is a great song no matter how you do it - a capella, big band swing number, hell, you could do that song as a polka - it would survive and thrive.
