The justifiable amount of press focused on the album's cut-and-paste aesthetic -- the way it jumped from cartoonish samples to dreamy, My Bloody Valentine-style noise to Beach Boys-like harmonizing and down-tempo beats. This led to a veritable tidal wave of remix requests that seemed to find a Cornelius remix on virtually every indie release within a 3000-mile radius. Curiously, his live performances shifted away from these experiments, instead presenting stripped-down garage pop and theremin solos. He has been relatively quiet since, and the world will have to wait to see if Cornelius' lauded studio wizardry was just an illusion. - Jon PruettPost-Modern Popen720Sat, 26 Dec 2009 05:20:57 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3025&rws=%2Fcornelius%2Fmusic-videos.rss In 1997, finding an article about Cornelius' first American release <I>Fantasma</I> was easier than clicking on an urban comedy on the WB network.
