Gorillaz Album: “Clint Eastwood”

Funny how I discovered the group. My 5 year old was watching Channel V, an Asian Video channel. He told me about the "sunshine" song. He said there were singing monkeys in it. Of course, that piqued my interest. So, I watched Channel V for a few, and the video came on. Clint Eastwood rocked. Its a very catching and addictive song. Not only for adults, but for 5 year olds as well. I bought the CD right away. I have been told, by the 5 year old, that he likes the slow version of the song the best. I have to agree with him.

Gorillaz blends the musical talents of Dan "The Automator" Nakamura, Blur's Damon Albarn, Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori, and the Tom Tom Club's Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz with the arresting visuals of Jamie Hewlett, best known as the creator of the cult comic "Tank Girl".

"Clint Eastwood" is a Mad Professor style dub which would not be out of place on a Tom Tom Club CD. Unfortunately, the manic remix suffers from an extreme case of time compression and the laid back vibe of the original single is obliterated to no good end. "Dracula" gets the groove back on track. The video is a welcome addition and alone is worth the price of admission.

You got the music, and the cool 'Clint Eastwood" video on one CD-pretty good deal. Too bad the video's soundtrack isn't playable on a typical CD audio player (it's slightly different than the single you get) but other than that, no complaints.

I bought this CD thinking why 10.99 for a single with only 3 songs, but after I put this CD into my CD-Rom I couldn't stop listening to it, number 2 is a cool dance song, and number 3 is really good just to listen to , and of course number 1 the main reason i bought it, is the number 1 on my list of favorites.

I first heard this on a local station while I was stuck in some god awful traffic and went into a hypnonic state of relaxation.

I went out that very day and bought this cd And it is very cool!

No regregts ! the Future is on ! ,Get this cd !
