Entertainment Weekly11 irresistible sound collages that feature driving beats, amiable guitar acoustics, and a quadraphonic sense of aural play that encourages rampant headphone abuse. [15 Feb 2002, p.68]

Given his prior eclecticism, it's stunning to hear the unified, boldly conceptual approach Cornelius takes on his new Point.
-
From rock riffs to cheesy electronics, nothing is off limits here, the gurgling stream of playful beats and gorgeous melodies carried along on a tide of Can's dreamy krautrock, ambient instrumental bliss and infectious '70s rock grooves.

-
While Point is ultimately plenty of fun, it's also serious work that can be taken seriously.
