Cornelius - Bird Watching At Inner Forest (6.0MB)
cornelius is japan’s keigo oyamada, and his 2002 album point is one of my favourite things. its one of the most focused, complete and rewarding albums that i’ve heard. point! if anyone can tell me what cornelius is doing now i’d love to know, because the english-language version of his website is not very up-to-date. i completely fell in love with this album, and then he vanished. point!
hi to all you crazies from 3hive.com. buy a faux pas cd - its only $10 Australian dollars including postage, which translates into about 30c in most other currencies.

I saw Cornelius at the Metro a while back - lots of fun mega multi-media experience as you’d expect - and they’re really tight. Yes, Point is great. I recently made up a ‘Bug-or things with too many legs’ mix-CD for my friends for christmas and tried to find a place for their “Bug” track - between zappa and the cramps but somehow it just wouldn’t fit. I think that album works best to listen straight thru. Just googled cornelius - mostly old stuff - or in japanese…

yeah it was great, i was there too. i took a japanese friend of mine who was in melbourne at the time to see the show, not realising that (apart from kraftwerk) cornelius was like her favourite band. so her reaction to the show was almost as good as the show itself. though the show was pretty damn good. very tight, as you said.
