An nice collection of odd sounds, harmonics and  other noises that blends quite well.

Cornelius is cool, even though he collaborates with David Byrne.

Yeah this is awesome - I feel like I'm sitting on the back porch with friends after the sun has gone down, enjoying some breeze and cheese and wine.... ahhh.

Sounds like night time in Animal Crossing....  I like it!

I like the song too, but "the little clicky sound" first makes me think of Stan Winston's /Jim & John Thomas' Predator!

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
  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.

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

Oh! Oh! the little clicky sound! its the same sound that the little tree spirits made when they flipped their heads upside down in Princess Mononoke!!! I keep trying to explain that sound to people, and they keep looking at me like I'm crazy!

anyway, I really like the song, its pretty and makes me feel happy!

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.

How about playing some other Cornelius stuff, Bill?

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.

I agree, but I love this song. I really want to purchase the album for night time listening.

oh my....I am hoping for some music to jump-start my morning, and it is NOT happening....I feel like I am slipping back....drifting off....nooooooooo

Hooray Cornelius! Time for nighty night.
