96/69 is a frantic, colorful explosion of mid-90s Tokyo cool. It functions less as a standard remix album and more as a total deconstruction of its predecessor, 69/96. Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada) treats his own songs like raw materials, chopping them into 96 distinct pieces that range from full-length club reworks to three-second bursts of static or silence. It is the sound of a musician obsessed with the possibilities of the sampler, blending the grit of 70s hard rock with the breezy, sophisticated aesthetics of the Shibuya-kei movement.
