It’s been almost 20 years since Cornelius broke out of Japan with his album Fantasma, demonstrating to the world that albums needn’t be constrained by genres or form or language or logic. He proved you could chop and change between all those things, sometimes within the same song.
Seeing as 20 years is a pretty long time and you might have missed Fantasma upon its initial release or forgotten how great it is or been slowly turning blue while holding your breath for 20 years until the album was released on vinyl, Cornelius will be reissuing Fantasma via Lefse/Post Modern on June 10. He’s even thrown in four extra songs to make the whole experience a little more eclectic.
What’s more, Cornelius will be attempting the mammoth task of recreating Fantasma live in its entirety on a run of dates around America. Check the dates below.
