[stttuuuu]

Hellaflush Hawaii 2011 brings me here.

[Digdigs2]

I have been looking for this ever since I lost the cd in 00 at an after party, wow sure brings back some memories...

[pistolpimp36]

Officially my song of the summer. Lovin' it.

[JeffersonCuritiba]

very cool

[yukarimikan]

この曲聞くと悩みが吹っ飛びます。



[ereebos]

It means "suRf Rider", not "suf lider". Isn´t it stupid to choose a name that he cant spell correctly?!

[pistolpimp36]

@ereebos It's because of his Japanese accent. English is actually a widespread subject taught in Japanese schools. They make their best effort to pronounce the words correctly. Cut them a break them a break dude at least they're trying.

[kalkman1972]

@ereebos Once you become a brilliant artist like Cornelius, you can start having comments about him. Go fuck yourself, you stupid moron fuckwhit.Read books.

[xdroon3]

@ereebos lol retard you probably think everyone in the world is english

[gamersgene]

I didn't know cornelius sang. I thought he was just a beats guy.

[shit311]

こないだ町歩いてたら街頭モニターでこれビデオながれててびっく­りした！世の中まだ捨てたもんじゃないかもね

[CrowThumb]

Starfluits, surfliderrrrrr

[s4jt]

great song, a little disappointed that it was a Japanese artist, damnit.. I don't need any more weeabo shit in my tracklist ;(

but what can you do, this sounds gooood

[Corporatist]

@s4jt its not weeaboo, for someone that can enjoy good music im surprised you have trouble looking beyond the surface.

[alishaisnotaface]

@s4jt what is wrong with you? It's about the good music not the nationality of the band

[shit311]

@alishaisnotaface thats right. we shouldnt give stupid s4jt saying weeaboo peekaboo a shit haha. have fun with good music

[pulseasdf]

職人だなぁ。

[787310]

[killazelda]

My name's Cornelis and I approve this music.

[Theb0x]

hipsters shut the fuck up thom yorke is good you just don't like him because he's popular. other people shut the fuck up cornelius is good too in his own right.

[taskzulu]

[SuuOfTheSun]

[borlo]

music happens. it does in all the levels/ cultures we do or dont know. it just happens we now have youtube, but come on...

[shit311]

小山田くん、何年か前は色んなアーティストの推薦文を書いてたよ­ね。

また、書いてくれ！

[ZwolfZki]

Some days, I figure that I will end up learning Japanese on account of this guy.

[modguy1979]

I remember watching this on AMP back in 97 while in HS. This was and still is So cool. waaaay ahead of its time

[WeRGod]

Wow, '98? One could easily be tricked into thinking that this song were just released ;)

Ah, postmodern times...

[lllolllolllolllo]

No music No life (3u0)

[STEREOMAN91]

probably my favorite cornelius song...

[Uktahhh]

Damon Albarn remixed this

[ByTor190]

This as in this right here, or this as in not this right here but this song?

[Uktahhh]

Not this song, see my videos for the Damon mix!

[ohotis]

@Uktahhh So what?

[emptyNINE]

Thank you Beck for turning me on to this guy...

[CJman327]

Haha I thought I was the only one who got turned onto Cornelius from Beck. They're so similar, it's amazing. Mainly just on Fantasma though. He forayed into more experimental territory as his career progressed to now.

[futurachel]

cornelius is legend.

[ishkabum]

Cornelius is one of my favorite artists! if any fans of his his here like to explore creative electroacoustic music, i would say that you may enjoy my own music!

google Ishkabum to listen to my stuff, i have three of my albums available to be streamed in full for free on my website. (modern compositions a la glitch hop / dream pop)

[keithslum]

I'd just like to say that everyone who is joining in this Thom Yorke v Cornelius thing are total twats.

This song is great. Go somewhere else to talk about something completely different like that.

It completely negates from the purpose of unloading the video.

[daniexkin]

This is....ironic

[udderhippo]

Why are people comparing Thom Yorke and Cornelius? Comparing elephants and assholes would be a more logical debate. If Cornelius started singing like Thom Yorke, it would suck. If Thom Yorke started singing like Cornelius it would suck just as hard. The fact that they are different is what makes music worth listening to.

[3salamanders]

@udderhippo I absolutely love both of them, but the only connection I could possibly see is equal intensity of creativity and sensitivity. For the rest, yeah, about as much polar opposites as I can think of.

[2bin]

@udderhippo LOL! True dat!

[pikubakaranger]

saudades desse tempo meu deus...

[kidcrash420]

I don't understand, are you being sarcastic or do you seriously believe that thom york has no talent? Cornelius is great and all but radiohead has genius level talent.

[Zetsword]

How the hell do you describe a song like this, it's acute and relaxed at the same time and feels so spacey/organic? Love it!

[SynchroImix]

wauuuu awesome Interstellar Pulsar Trip!! wauuuuuuuu yeaaaa marijane sweet feelingz pwr!!!

[takaJETMANplus]

one of the best songs and videos of all time

[Sushi3D]

wow, I didn't know this song was this old. I heard it first time last year when it was covered by Aira Mitsuki.

[stiggyh]

hahahahahahahaha staaaaaafryyyyyt saaarfraaaaiiidaaaa!!!! hahahahaha so cool

[vodoochille]

Japanese Thom Yorke

[robinstigator]

don;t insult Cornelius by comparing him to that hack.

[kidcrash420]

Thom Yorke's hits notes with his voice that this guy could only dream of.

[CJman327]

I love Cornelius but Thom Yorke beats the shit of Cornelius's Brain Wilson/My Bloody Valentine shtick. I mean, seriously? A hack? Dude, Thom Yorke and Radiohead are musical geniuses.

[rhymeswithgabriel]

honestly... why are you comparing thom yorke to cornelius. completely different categories, both musical geniuses imo.

[CJman327]

Well I'm just replying to robinstigator about how Thom Yorke isn't a hack. At least in my opinion he isn't. You're right, they're both musical geniuses but what I meant by the whole "shtick" comment was that, I mean, come on....Thom Yorke is better IMO. I do think Cornelius is a musical genius too, though.

[MustBeUnearthed]

Cornelius is way more creative than Radiohead. They're just a boring alt rock band with mild experimentation.

[kidcrash420]

Okay I'd say they are a "bit" more creative. Let's talk about talent though. People who can sing like cornelius are a dime a dozen. Nothing special whatsoever. Thom Yorke's voice is very unique. Plus he is constantly strumming intricate guitar parts over his insane vocal melodies. Real drumming > digital drumming any day of the week. I mean don't get me wrong, I like digital drumming but radiohead has a very skillful drummer whereas cornelius has a very mediocre drummer.

[MustBeUnearthed]

Talent doesn't make their music any more exciting.

[kidcrash420]

I beg to differ.

[MustBeUnearthed]

Good for you.

[kidcrash420]

"Talent doesn't make music more exciting" is such a ignorant statement. Yeah dude, who cares about talent when you can just use fruity loop samples. I mean I'd rather watch a laptop play a beat for me over a real drummer. LMAO get real dude.

[MustBeUnearthed]

A lot of guitarists can play their guitars really fast. Doesn't necessarily mean their music is any good. And I really don't care what medium is used to produce a sound, as long as I like it.

Anyway, shitty irrelevant argument. This song is pretty cool huh.

[khentkak]

not to mention Radiohead just rips off Bjork and Richard D James amongst other artists. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy some of their music however I think the media capitalizes off of the ignorance of the listener who thinks what bands like Tool, Radiohead, and Mars Volta are "genius" and ground breaking. If the youth ever listens to bands like Crimsons, or Zeppelin they won't put these bands on such a high pedestal. Which is not to say its not possible to still enjoy the music.

[tomgpowers]

loved him for years

absolutely amazing

[phisaki]

This song is freaking amazing. He's my new hero!

[mchetakuso]

Fantasma (the album this song was taken from) is incredible. It seems to have practically come out of nowhere. Cornelius started out (and is probably more well known to the average person in Japan) for being a member of this slightly better than average Pizzicato 5-inspired J-pop group called Flipper's Guitar in the early 90's. Even his 1st solo album (The First Question Award) is relatively MOR and sounds almost nothing like this. Amazing stuff.

[BeloitMotto]

1998 waren diese beats noch der heißeste scheiß!! LOVE IT!!!!!

[swuh87]

my man

[Ohfishyfishyfish]

Staaaaallll Fluuuuuuuute, Sulf Liiiiiderrrrrlllll!

[fahyforever]

[wonderwallmusic]

[theycallmedavid1234]

fucking wicked. i loved this when i first it, and i will never bore of it.

[clowezra]

Aira Mitsuki's version is better.=)

[jigenbakuda]

clowezra... I guess you heard her version first. I like aira's version as well... but this is Cornelius... he can not be defeated... This was one of the first Cornelius songs I ever heard... it was epic then... its epic now.. its epic on his new live dvd....

[deadredeyes]

That beat is sooooo mean! Love it.

[mohammedisfresh]

those effects in the video was sooo koo back in 1998 now it looks weird, but song is still great.

[BorlandRIP7]

Is there a video of the song "music machine " somewhere ?

[Corgan1982hb]

Best one !

[rjhaha822]

Fantastic.

[DPRKLiberator]

Beautiful.

[arasharfa]
