Well I won't spend too long on this track, as its the one thats been released, by I was completely taken aback by this song (especially the bassline) and the intrancing video.
The break down at 2.00 leads into a intense rap by Bootie Brown, which adds a nice change to the song, and fits well. The first use of the backing choir/chorus that is evident in later tracks, adds to the feel of the track well, providing a tune that stays in your head for a while. Dirty Harry - The first of my favourites off the album, based obviously on the Clint Eastwood film title, a very nice bassline carries this song right through. Perhaps slightly repetitive by the end, but its a nice background track, if listening to the album straight through.ħ.5/10 - Perhaps one of the weaker tracks, but still very nice.ĥ. Dj Dangermouse does a good job of creating a solid backing drum track, that fits with the feel of the song very well. This song is slightly more up-tempo than the first two tracks, and features a greater use of Damon's lyrics. O Green World - Another instrumental type song, like its predecessor. The bass is very noteable, and a nice peaceful guitar riff amongst the use of backing vocals and the 'easy does it' breakdown is incredibly catchy. Kids with Guns : Another pretty simple, almost instrumental song, carrying I guess a strong message behind it, placed into a rather comical fashion. Damon's voice is first heard too, and although there is not much lyric to the song, his voice adds to the atmosphere. The bass in this song is very catchy, once again a theme throughout, and off a good set of speakers, there is a great feel to it. Last Living Souls : This is a great introduction, with quite a slow feel, which seems to be the theme of the album. Intro : As intros go on albums, there is nothing that can be really said either way, with an interesting mix of strings and mixed voices, its a nice atmospheric build up to the first main track of the album.Ģ. However, 2005 brings about a new era in the Gorillaz life, with Nakamura out, and DJ Dangermouse, whom is most famous for mixing together Jay Z's black album with Beatles' White Album, to create the 'Grey Album.' With the new team assembled, they embarked on the recording of 'Demon Days.'ġ.
Behind the amazing imaginative graphics created by Jamie Hewlett, the music was composed on the first album mainly by the two artists Damon Albarn from Blur (who sings as 2D) and Dan 'The Automator' Nakamura, whom pulled the whole project together. Gorillaz were an orinigal music concept who burst onto the music scene in the UK in spring 2001 with the hit 'Clint Eastwood,' which some would say over-shadowed the actual album they released soon afterwards. This album arrived in the post this morning, along with Maximo Park's new one, of while I shall do a review on when I can too. I have been meaning to do one for a while and this looked like the best opportunity.
