Plastic Beach

Product Information

Has really been growing me over the years and I might even be comfortable saying that Plastic Beach is on par with Demon Days. Although it wasn't released as a single, the song peaked at number 35 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Posdnuos of De La Soul said that the group had provided vocals on two songs for the album, "Electric Shock" and "Sloped Tropics". On 17 September 2008, Albarn and Jamie Hewlett announced that they would be doing another Gorillaz album in an interview with CBC News. The labels on sides B and D have a smaller gap at the top between the outer white text compared to other releases.

After reading all of these overwhelmingly positive reviews, my hopes were through the roof upon my first play - though this pressing still managed to blow me away!As it turned out, Humperdinck's manager had listened to the proposed selection and declined the offer for him without his knowing.

Jon Caramanica of The New York Times viewed its music as "thin and inconsequential, car-commercial electronic funk and tension-free hip-hop", while writing "It's an appealing mess, moving at a fever pitch until swelling to something like an enthused climax. The unreleased material is "some really out-there stuff, which hopefully will see the light of day at some point". On 14 January 2009, Damon Albarn appeared on BBC Radio 1 with animated bass player Murdoc Niccals, and played a selection of songs including four demos for Plastic Beach: "Electric Shock", which features Derby-based Orchestra sinfonia ViVA (a song which does not appear on the album, although certain elements of it were used in " Rhinestone Eyes"), the demo for " Stylo" (which was named "Binge" at that point) and the demo for "Broken".Noodle then grabs her briefcase and opens it, revealing a gun, and passes the crew member while heading out, presumably to face the pirates. The band have taken up residence, recording on a secret floating island deep in the south pacific, a plastic beach hq, made up of the detritus, debris and washed up remnants of humanity.

A new picture of the band was published on 9 December 2009 on the cover of the UK edition of Wired magazine. In the Chicago Tribune, Greg Kot was impressed by Albarn's ability to produce exceptional music using "seemingly mismatched elements from different cultures, genres and generations". Subtle but important layers are obscured, cues I'm waiting for lost in the sauce, it lacks the clarity of the CD.Albarn said in an interview, "I'm making this one the most pop record I've ever made in many ways, but with all my experience to try and at least present something that has got depth. side, and songs like Superfast jellyfish, On melancholy hill, Broken, Plastic beach and To binge that showcase the band's relaxed side. Over the last few months he has disarmed packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung. Hewlett also expressed annoyance at having to draw the band members again: "I'm so f---ing[ sic] bored of drawing those characters. Electric Shock" did not make the album, though samples of the song were used in "Rhinestone Eyes", as well as the intro orchestral separated into bonus track "Three Hearts, Seven Seas, Twelve Moons".

A crew member rushes over to cabin 13 to warn a passenger, who is revealed to be Noodle (wearing the oni mask), that the cruise is under attack by pirates and he was told to escort her to the lifeboats. This isn’t a huge deal to me, but it’s still false advertising to show the afternoon cover and then deliver the daytime one. I checked the media itself and saw long spiraling scratches only through the first song, which seems like was an issue from wherever it was made. Kano said "We weren't feeling great, the music was out of our comfort zone, it could have been a complete disaster". Damon Albarn got the idea for Plastic Beach while on a beach next to his house: "I was just looking for all the plastic within the sand", he said.It's most noticeable on Empire Ants: the drop halfway through sounds almost like a home cassette recording, all booming bass and no detail, and the hihat is barely audible instead of driving the track like it should. Several musicians who collaborated on songs for the album did not end up having all or any of their songs appear on the final album; some guests announced to have collaborated with the band do not feature on the album. This album is just as good as Demon days was, with songs like Rhinestone eyes, Empire ants and Glitter freeze showcasing the band's chaotic(? The inserts are in great shape (thick enough to stand up to the weight of the records), and have great art and a beautiful glossy finish. According to The Times journalist Peter Paphides, Plastic Beach is a pop and concept album, [26] while AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that "Damon's painstaking pancultural pop junk-mining" on the album posits hip hop with Britpop and "accentuates moody texture over pop hooks".
