Re: Cornelius - Sensuous
I got this last week (finally I check and the UK release is out) and basically it's Point but less good. Point was full of proper songs and deep layered instrumentals with a couple of weird short pieces (Bug and I Hate Hate) which worked in the context of the album. This one tries the same formula but doesn't have the ideas and makes you wish he'd just record Fly or something again. This should have had more ideas and more depth. I don't dislike it, it's just that with Point he showed us he could write some really interesting, kind-of-danceable, experimental pop music. Here he's leaned heavily towards the experimental which manifests itself in running one idea into the ground per track and leaving each track almost completely devoid of a groove.

Does anyone else think that the sampled vocal bits on Gum sound like KK Slider from Animal Crossing?
