Cornelius - Point (Black Vinyl)

Cornelius - Point (Black Vinyl)

2019 Re-issue of Cornelius' 2002 classic album. Remastered 2LP with 3 never before released songs.

Point was the long-awaited full-length follow-up to Fantasma, and it did not disappoint. Cornelius--a.k.a. Japanese pop auteur and clothing designer Keigo Oyamada--thrilled the world with his '97 international debut, a breezy blend of electronica that melded the thick, soupy guitar feedback of My Bloody Valentine to the gorgeous harmonies of the Beach Boys, and fed it all through a peculiarly kitschy Japanese bubblegum pop filter. On Point, the crystal-clear "Smoke" weaves a tangle of jerky new wave guitar over clip-clopping electronic beats and the raw clatter of percussion, while the heavenly "Tone Twilight Zone" elegantly demonstrates that even the most ornate, maximal production can be imbued with calm.
