Rise of the Ogre

Product Information

The band was created by Damon Albarn from the Brit-pop band Blur, and Jamie Hewlett, the co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. Most singers and bands nowadays always seem to focus on appearances rather than putting out good music. Narrated in the way of a biography-slash-interview, at times way too heavy-handedly to be effective, it works all the same and probably precisely because of it, because it's in tune with the characters themselves. Phase One depicts the formation of the band and the composition of their first groundbreaking album Gorillaz.

Thank you for preserving this excellent book - I have many great memories of checking this out from the library in high school over and over again and using it to piece together the lore behind a band I loved. Five records later, Gorillaz remain one of my “eternal” favourite acts, with the themes that their music touches being incredibly meaningful to me. It reads like the script of an episode of Behind the Music, with just the right amount of inserting the two genuine minds behind Gorillaz, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, into the wild world that Gorillaz exists in.one of the things I liked about this book, was the in depth look into the characters,one important revelation, that I had already theorized, was that 2-D is sometimes quite smart. I listened to the audiobook version of this for the first few chapters, before locating a PDF for the rest of it - I wish more chapters of the audiobook got recorded! The Gorillaz have been a favourite band of mine for a very long time and when I found this book, I was in heaven. Despite this, along with the smattering of new insider information, there are quotes from new interviews with Jamie Hewlett and some members of the production team which reveal just a little bit more about the workings of the band. The book also tells the fictional accounts of the virtual band members, their origins and how they met, their bizarre yet hilarious adventures.

The motion and the atmosphere in some of his rough sketches is stunning; the examples that come to mind are the D-day storyboard and the El Mañana storyboard. Pensé que esta gente hablaba más del background de sus personajes, la verdad es que no me importa en absoluto sus giras y procesos de producción de discos.

The new art is complemented by many exclusive photos from live gigs, rehearsals, recording sessions and video shoots.The track was included as a B-side track to the " Rock the House" single and added to G-Sides so the recording would not go to waste. While I can only recommend this book to hardcore Gorillaz fans, I can definitely say it should show a little bit of insight into the offbeat nature and musical style of the group to nonlisteners and a look into Jamie Hewlett's great art. Gorillaz have always been as much about the visuals as they are about the music, and the autobiography will be a feast for the eyes. I do wish they continued with the audio book though, because I really enjoyed reading along with the voice actors.

It's gets weird, funky, and incredibly personal on some parts, but if you have a love for the virtual band and Hewlett's amazing art, you'll probably love this back story gem. Having been a Gorillaz fan since the release of the Demon Days album during my freshman year of high school, I was mesmerized by the unique twist of alternative rock, hip-hop and rap, which hid a subliminal storyline within the beautifully animated music videos. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2001, and their success landed them an entry in the Guinness Book Of World Records for Most Successful Virtual Band. These are statements which may very well be true but the account presented here - couched as it is in terms of the story of the fictional band - lacks the resources, the conceptual framework, that would be required for such a task, which would have to be done at one remove from the characters' perspetive.
