Gorillaz: Demon Days

Collections like these always seem to raise a wild mix of emotions. This double disc CD has it all, from ‘Nickelback’ and ‘Good Charlotte’ to ‘Soundgarden’ and the ‘Spin Doctors’. The selected songs bring up the best of the alternative scene in the last couple of year’s including some golden oldies that just can’t be left out. The classic Pixies track, “where is my mind”, is one such song.

Didn’t notice any of our own boys listed but have no worries, there is always a proudly South African album to hit the shelves each season.

Now there is no excuse to invites the mates over, crack open the beers and listen to your life’s theme songs. Rock on…!

Wow. I must say I was blown away by the diverse range of musical styles featured on this album. Following the success of the multi-million selling debut Gorillaz, the band is set for new heights. There is also a fair amount of artists featured, namely: De La Soul, Neneh Cherry, Martina Topley-Bird, Roots Manuva, MF Doom, Ike Turner, Bootie Brown of the Pharcyde, Shaun Ryder, Dennis Hopper, the London Community Gospel Choir and the San Fernandez Youth Chorus.

The single, ‘feel good inc’ feat De la Soul, is one of those tunes that will get you foot tapping.
You won’t want to take it out your CD player and then, why should you? This song is labelled feel good for a reason.

The band has definitely taken steps to define its place in music history with its originality and conscious thought.
