Rating: I read the review of Cornelius' Point written by Turkish, and you should read it too. Once you've read it, listen to Cornelius' Point.
Done?
Okay, now that you have tasted the genius of Cornelius, you can admire his previous work, Fantasma, which I consider even more Brilliant.
Unlike Point, it is much less polished and much more ElectroBrilliantAlternative ... truly something to try and admire. 2010 is an ElectroFuturist song, it seems like it came out of an '80s video game, with its ever-faster and more nervous pace, it drives you crazy; Clash, on the other hand, is a slow piece about 5 minutes and something, romantic with an engaging chorus and a dog barking in the background... stunning.
Count Five Or Six in its simplicity is a little piece of brilliance, the whole song does nothing but repeat various numbers....
Fantasma, the track that gives the album its title, lasts only 1 minute, there are no lyrics, just sighs; you get the impression of being inside a small castle with ghosts... Mic Check is the stroke of genius of the album, the song starts with a little Mic Check (microphone check...) various sounds, mockeries, etc., then all of a sudden the bouncy chorus of mic check kicks in. Monkey is a classic Japanese song for a commercial, a mix of sounds and samples: BRILLIANT!
I mention the last three that come to mind, namely the beautiful Star Fruits Surf Rider (if you're lucky, the old video still airs on brand new MTV) (I also note an alternative remix by Damon Albarn).
The Micro Disneycal World Tour is nothing but a ride inside the micro Disneycal World Tour (I was there as a kid :) reviewed in Cornelius' style! To end, Free Fall (there's also a remix by UNKLE) is a Japanese punk rock song where nothing else is sung but FreeFall.
Sorry if I overused the term brilliant, but with Cornelius, no other adjectives come to mind! He fully deserves his 5/5 rating.

まちを歩いてた
軽いめまいがした
僕の頭のまわり
星が光ってた
Star Fruits Surf Rider
僕のそばに居る
猫が僕を見る
猫の目の奥に
星が光ってた
Star Fruits Surf Rider
海のそばにいた
少し寒かった
星が凄かった
誰もいなかった
Star Fruits Surf Rider
