The multitalented Keigo Oyamada started out as a member of synth-heavy indie rockers Flipper's Guitar in the late '80s. Going solo as Cornelius in the early '90s, he developed a cut-and-paste style that gleefully jumped between genres. On albums like 1997's Fantasma and 2001's Point, Oyamada builds trippy-but-catchy songs out of psychedelic shoegaze noise, '60s pop harmonies, thrashing punk riffs, intricate electronica rhythms and much more. Crammed with offbeat hooks and quirky attitude, this collection is your introduction to one of Japan's most playful and radical pop stars.
