I was introduced to Cornelius by listening to Coldcut. They seem to be fans, they have played his tracks on their radio show, their TV show on cable, and even got him to remix one of their tracks on their "Let Us Replay" remix album.
It's a bit tricky to categorise this album, probably easier to throw a few words in, like in free association: Rock / Jazz / Squarepusher / Beach Boys / Kraftwerk / Lo-Fi / sythesised speech / Bedroom studio.
If you're anything like me, then this album is a breath of fresh air. You never know where it's going, and it keeps you guessing. I received this disc last week and it's been in my walkman ever since - a new record for me, I normally get through two albums a day...

Fantasma is one of the strangest albums I have ever had the fortune to hear: it comprises drum and bass, rock, scary fair music, and much more. The man who wrote the music is obviously hugely talented, so this album makes a very welcome break from much of the other rot being advertised as "music" today, and coming from a heavy metal fan, that's quite a compliment. If you want my advice, then if you hear one song and enjoy it, then you'll like the rest and it will definetely be worth your while buying the album. No matter what your taste, Fantasma by Cornelius will turn you on.

This album fits comfortably into a category, and the category is Cornelius. It ranges from a number of minimalist tracks which focus on small, but intersting ideas to ones where sounds appear to have been scattered to see if they would land in a pattern. I'm still not sure they have, but it's fun deciding. The musical style varies from traditional rock material to Japanese pop to dance forms I try not to categorise to what sounds like 1960s backing music; and it often changes within the tracks. Hey, at least the Planet Of The Apes sample on 'Monkey' (a.k.a. 'Magoo Opening')is easy to explain. 'Free Fall' is perhaps the most accessible track, a spaced-up rock number that rates in any language. My version of the CD has a typewriter lesson on it as well, but you may escape this. Open your mind before you open the CD case.
