Gorillaz

Descripción
Product Description Gorillaz is the debut album by the British virtual band Gorillaz, released in 2001. It includes the singles «Clint Eastwood», «19-2000», «Rock the House» and «Tomorrow Comes Today». The album reached #3 in the UK and #14 in the US. Tienda The Gorillaz claim to have found their motley crew of cartoon characters sleeping in Leicester Square, but Blur’s Damon Albarn (a.k.a. 2-D) and cult cartoonist Jamie Hewlett (Murdoc) aren’t fooling anyone. As the ultimate experiment in manufactured image, the Gorillaz are a virtual cartoon-character-based hip-hop band who bring together witty, silly lyrics and talented musicians. Infectious old-school hip-hop rhythms, rhymes, and effects courtesy of Deltron 3030’s Kid Koala and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien (Russel) are combined with Albarn’s passion for chugging lo-fi and edgy melodies to create a seemingly raw but ultimately slick blend of styles. This is nowhere more evident than on the hit single «Clint Eastwood,» which is carried along by the sound of 2-D’s slurred voice and a bluesy harmonica melody interrupted by Russel’s punching rhymes. But the surprises don’t stop there: Ibrahim Ferrer’s appearance on «Latin Simone» could have come straight from Buena Vista Social Club but for the obvious Blur-influenced piano style, while the spooky intro to «M1 A1» wouldn’t sound out of place on Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Backed by Jamie Hewlett’s death-wish character on bass, Cibo Matto’s Miho Hatori (Noodle) on guitar and occasional hyperactive vocals, and produced by Dan «the Automator» Nakamura, it’s hardly surprising that Gorillaz is marked both by a sense of playfulness and a passion for experimentation. –Caroline Butler
Review Cleverly mixes soft-focus hip-hop, trippy space rock and Ennio Morricone-style melodrama with Albarn’s unwavering pop melodies. — E! OnlineHands down, this is one of the best-produced albums of the year… — LA WeeklyInspired by the punky reggae parties of Sandinista!-era Clash, tracks like the dub-rap-rock mutation «Clint Eastwood» and its catchier two-step Rasta remix bring back the exuberance missing from Blur’s last album, 13, while running with its anything-goes avant-aesthetic. — Rolling StoneThis secret society’s sonic output is nothing short of sheer musical buggery, a hip-hop twilight realm where Dr. Octagon performs transplant surgery on Mellow Gold with the cast of Scooby Doo in the gallery.
