I played it a lot back in the day, but I don't remember it being peaceful - the game itself might be, but I sure was frustrated a lot playing it



I think that's a normal response for most people when confined in a featureless non-euclidean void.
Even if it is a relaxing featureless non-euclidean void...

I’m not always sharp enough to get the thread running between songs but this and that Golden Earring Song it followed - even I can see that.

It's a veritable aural chill-out!  And today, BillG plays Sinead O'Connor's "'Til I Whisper You Something" as a follow-up instead of the Flaming Lips track. 

Bill followed up this Cornelius tune with Miles Davis "The Pan Piper"
Pure genius....

Chill, 

One to savour at another time. Right now, I'm not in that particular zone.

I can, however, totes appreciate the zone this is in - very technical, super duper laid back.

This RP never ceases to amaze me.... I was enjoying Cornelius and thinking how clever the recording was and thinking how is RP going to follow that and yet we then sssssssslllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiide into Flaming Lips .. I am astonshied and amazed of the proffesionalism of this Programme. I was talking to my friend today and trying to explain how RP presents its music and this was a fine example of that. Thanks RP...

Cornelius is cool, even though he collaborates with David Byrne. {#Lol}

Not my favorite Cornelius piece, but a nice one nonetheless.

One thing to be aware of, is that he plays all the instruments: bass, drums, guitar and keys on his albums (with the exception of the odd guest) in addition to the programming and all the vocals. You should hear his vocals! Multi-layered harmonies with crazy syncopation. His stuff is electronic prog music. Check out the albums Point and Sensuous.

A phenomenal talent.

The amazing video for the track "Fit Song" off of his Senuous album:

I know this is obviously not the same Cornelius, but every time I see that name, I think of Planet of the Apes.  No offense to this recording artist or Roddy McDowell intended.  Cool tune - excellent groove.
{#Whisper}   Oops; I've just been informed that this recording artist took his stage name from the character in the aforementioned film series.

Sounds to me like an Enya song produced by Dr. Dre... Mellow with a beat. Not bad though.

I like Cornelius, specially the album Fantasma.
Posted 16 years ago by aragon    [ Reply ]
You know, I think there are a lot of artists that use these electronic sounds because they can't invest the time to come up with anything better. They sound cheap - and they are. Any cheapo drum machine can produce them. BUT, every once in a while, an artist takes them and creates a work of art. Kinda of like Andy Warhol did with printed art. This is a gorgeous piece - and a good use of that drum sound. Very nice!

well Cornelius is japanese TheFriendlyCat. I've never heard a chilled cornelius track before, normally a bit mental! certainly second the call for more Cornelius on RP

Good Idea, I'll upload a couple of tracks. Lets see if they Fit the Bill. ;) Like Crinky said, they tend to leap about stylistically, so the rating curve may get double-humped.

One warning about Cornelius: His albums are very stylistically mixed. A placid instrumental can be followed by a loud punky song. So, I would listen to his albums at night but I wouldn't go to sleep listening to them.

A good follow-up... \"Summer\'s Cauldron\" by XTC. And \"Buggin\'\" by The Flaming Lips.

Can't hear the name without thinking of the Roddy McDowell's stirring performance in Planet of the Apes which leads to the video for an Abba song where the blond dude looks just like Cornelius from Planet of the Apes.

What a cool tune. I love the layering and syncopation between the percussion and guitar work. I've got to pick this up. Does most of their stuff sound like this?

Most excellent album too...groovy stuff (yes, groovy's a good adjective)
