UncutThe album's eight supple, textured tunes suggest Cornelius stripped of his art-jazz awkwardness, or even the molten sugar rush of My Bloody Valentine slowed to a beatific calm. [Nov 2002, p.128]
-
MagnetIt's as if Steve Miller and the Beach Boys got together, sacked the session players and sang over breakbeats and a thicket of digital clicks and clacks. [#56, p.105]
-
UrbA wacky landmark in the electronic pop movement. [Nov 2002, p.98]
-
With harmonies that could have been stolen from Pet Sounds altered by Aphex Twin or Squarepusher, Zoomer is the perfect way to introduce pre-school tots to techno-pop pleasures.
-
It's a much breezier affair, as if Air and Daft Punk have been cross-bred with The Notwist and Mouse On Mars.
-
Zoomer is a very, very good album, but one thing it makes clear is that the songwriting aspect of this sort of lap[pop] hybrid must continue to improve.
-
One of the best young producers going in electronic music.
-
The WireMay be the year's most surprising pure pop pleasure--precisely because it's nothing like you'd expect a pop album to be. [#224, p.61]
-
Zoomer has a warmth and spirit that makes the work endearing as actual songs rather than chunks of carefully manipulated data.
-
MojoAnother masterfully blended cocktail of restless electronic beats, analogue daubings and digitally blasted vocals. [Nov 2002, p.110]
