Step off the platform and onto the Soul Train! Cornelius, host of the popular dance music program, will get on down alongside several dozen sequined and polyestered body-movers to the pre-recorded strains of disco-funk tunes! He's outtasite!

Oh, wait; that's Don Cornelius. This Cornelius is somethin' else; though he's pretty outtasite, too. Japanese synth-meister Cornelius-- whose amicable, long-awaited Sensuous hits U.S. shops at last tomorrow (April 24) via Everloving Records-- celebrates by kicking off a world tour tonight in Portland. Cornelius' live thing, billed as "The Sensuous Synchronized Show" and chock full of lasers and dancing apes, will wind around the States through mid-May before hopping a plane for Europe. You can bet your last money, it's gonna be a stone gas, honey!
