Point

Point is a rare intersection of organic warmth and digital coldness, sounding like a high-definition nature documentary edited by a perfectionist clockmaker. While Cornelius's earlier work was a chaotic collage of every genre imaginable, this album finds him narrowing his focus to the microscopic. It is an album of points: every pluck of a guitar string, every chirp of a bird, and every electronic bleep is placed with mathematical precision in a wide, three-dimensional stereo field. It feels like a living, breathing ecosystem that has been captured in a laboratory, then polished until it shines.
