It's killing me that I can't hear this. I can't fathom its absence form the net.
― afriendlypioneer, Friday, 5 May 2017 15:59 (seven years ago) link
hahaha me too. I just want to hear a minute of it, to know what the sound is like :P I guess the fact that it's a 7" limited to 500 copies which (I imagine) sold almost exclusively in Japan will do it.

so that's the lead-off track? wow
― frogbs, Friday, 12 May 2017 15:22 (seven years ago) link
it's really promising, i'm glad he's managed to push this sound further.
― ufo, Friday, 12 May 2017 15:29 (seven years ago) link
as much as I like the stuff he's done since Point I do think it comes off sometimes like a collection of parts. those same parts are in this track of course - it really does seem like it uses "Fit Song" as sort of a launch point - but this definitely feels like a completed song. I've listened to it four times now and it's really growing on me.
― frogbs, Friday, 12 May 2017 15:34 (seven years ago) link
It's much more grounded in the song than an exercise, which "Fit Song" feels like. Think his time with MetaFive helped him out.
― afriendlypioneer, Friday, 12 May 2017 15:36 (seven years ago) link
yeah there's a real song with a climax to it, more than just a nice intricate groove bit like a lot of Point and Sensuous was.
it feels closer to the salyu x salyu album than either of those actually
― ufo, Friday, 12 May 2017 15:47 (seven years ago) link
maybe I'm just wildly speculating but I'm guessing his recent divorce is gonna factor into the sound here
― frogbs, Friday, 12 May 2017 16:39 (seven years ago) link
Is anyone getting a faint trace of Hosono from this or am I projecting?
― MaresNest, Friday, 12 May 2017 18:31 (seven years ago) link
i have been listening to Miharu Koshi's "Parallelism" a lot these days and imo Cornelius's Fantasma-and-posts works are super influenced by that stuff. baroque robotic pop with lots of cool percussion, things zipping by, drum-and-bass influences, etc.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 12 May 2017 18:39 (seven years ago) link
that album was produced by Hosono in 1984 and i highly recommend for fans of Cornelius. "Toubousha" sounds a lot like "Clash".
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 12 May 2017 18:42 (seven years ago) link
it does sound like something on Medicine Compilation. now I hear it.
― frogbs, Friday, 12 May 2017 18:44 (seven years ago) link
loving this more an more, both msic and video. i love the calligraphy oscilloscope, that painting that starts waving and extruding and turning 3D, the elements drifting and clipping in and out of reality.

Momentary derail. How do we feel about the most recent Shugo Tokomaru record? Both artists make good companions I feel..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOiJomOkaVA
― MaresNest, Friday, 9 June 2017 20:20 (seven years ago) link
I admit most Cornelius I've heard I'm quite indifferent towards except for Fantasma and Point, which I really love, and I'm really impressed by what he's released from the new one so far. I reckon this is going to be great.
And I'm a big fan of Shugo Tokumaru; he's reliably good but that last one didn't end up being one of my favourites of his.

Don't think it's possible to buy w/o a Japanese account, though. I used to be able to buy stuff off International Amazon pages. :(
― afriendlypioneer, Wednesday, 28 June 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link
30 bucks on US amazon by third-party sellers. I'm going to hold out for a little bit.
― skip, Wednesday, 28 June 2017 19:09 (seven years ago) link
I understand that Japanese artists/labels are reluctant to fully embrace digital sales since that's one of the few places that people still buy CDs in significant number, but I wish the distribution for a lot of stuff was better, at least for artists like Cornelius who have a profile in the West.

There are some jammy tracks but on the whole the album is a little too slow and ambient for my taste.

apparently cornelius covered "passionfruit" for a spotify session. i've never heard anything drake's done in his entire career and also i don't spotify so i'll probably never hear it, but i bet it's good.

i forget the name of the track, but the interview about fave albums reminds me that he played a song at field day a few weeks back that was basically Appetite by prefab sprout. not that thats a bad thing, in fact its a very good thing.

― calstars, Saturday, 22 September 2018 21:53 (five years ago) link
new NHK record is good. they're all inconsistent and fun and better than mellow waves.
― (⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Wednesday, 26 September 2018 04:35 (five years ago) link
I just picked it up. I think all 3 NHK records are kind of the same but they're all really tasty - lots of great moments on this one.
Not sure what to think of Ripple Waves yet - I kinda wish the new stuff had been sectioned off into an EP or something, cuz that's all pretty good. I don't have much use for Cornelius remixes...he's one of those musicians that always seems to get it right the first time.
― frogbs, Thursday, 25 October 2018 20:18 (five years ago) link
What's your take on the third one? I've got 1 & 2. 2 is fantastic. Is 3 worth tracking down?
― afriendlypioneer, Monday, 1 April 2019 14:10 (five years ago) link
Yeah. It's more like 2 than 1 - each track is sort of its own thing. The one with Leo Imai is really nice. I think Takahashi makes an appearance too. There is a bit of repetition here (one track is a little jam off "Helix/Spiral" and I think one is repeated from the other volumes) but it's worth getting if you liked the other two. As always the sound design is impeccable. These sort of small, somewhat gimmicky compositions are really up his alley.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 02:57 (five years ago) link
new one is really nice. in retrospect Mellow Waves feels like a run up to this. its actually kind of funky in spots but overall quite sad. the death of 2 YMO members I think weighs heavy on this. speaking of which it's a bit odd that he decided to re-record "Environmental" since it was just on the Metafive album from last year. I guess it's a much better fit here. anyways the long track "Dream in the Mist" is a real showstopper, could listen to an entire album like that
