@fs11klrk No they're not. Good to know you have no idea what you're talking about. Damon recently said there's no more plans for them at the moment but he's leaving the door open on the project. He always takes a couple years off to do other awesome shit between Gorillaz records.
@JoeySoeter Actually I agree, I've seen a lot of interviews of him and he does look truly exhausted.... but he must love what he does if he keeps doing it. A legend in my eyes!
I used to listen to Gorillaz or Blur 24/7 wondering when Albarn would finally go his own way... But I never thought the outcome would be this... Amazing. In an article I read about Gorillazs' new release; The Fall, Damon wanted to call it Autumn but couldn't because U2 already got to that name before him... But maybe there's another meaning behind it... The Fall... An old era being replaced with a new one;
And to think this was a song for Plastic Beach. I wonder what it would've sounded like if it was on there. Oh well, this is a beautiful song nad I can't stop listening to it.
Bm G Pour the apple carts up from silvery hill G#/D higher into heaven revealed A F# On the adult dome respond Bm G to great authority singing alleluia alleluia Chorus: F# Em G F# Bm Love does reign in the kingdom of the broken heart, Em G F# Bm the black bird sings, the moon it starts Em G Bm war begins ... Dawns.
While the production values of the opera are great, the narrative is lost amidst a pretentious cacophony of performance art pieces spliced into the story. I would give it 4/10.
I don't think there is really anything this guy can't do in musical terms. He really has turned out to be a great writer & composer and has always been a fine artist. From Blur to Gorillaz and his operas like Monkey Journey to the West and now Dr Dee. Now that's some career in little just over 20 years in the business and he's still in his early 40's. He also comes across as a true gentleman too. PS- I guarantee it's back to Blur next as they have unfinished business to carry out. It will happen
@mollyty I with you on your last point. By the time something of his gets kind of old or overplayed he comes out with something new and fresh that brings you right in. No otger musician out there matches his ability. Argue all you want people but no one touches him. Like really, there isn't any other bands or artists, Damon stands alone
When Kurt Cobain died and other musicians alike had passed, their music and reputation soared. When Damon eventually passes on and if the general public smarts up and immerse themselves in his sonically varified library, I think he will get the reputation he deserves. He doesn't get nearly enough credit for the abundance of classics he has created. His music is timeless and on a lot of occasions preceeds his own time. It's my opinion that he is the greatest at what he does
@jspennnny That might be your opinion. I personally think this is a beautiful song, and i can't wait to hear a more complete version with the Philarmonic Orchestra at the opera
@giusex27 that song with Paul McCartney is still a possibility, it hasn't been made. And Gorillaz are over temporarily, as you can see the creators are in the middle of other projects. So those songs probably won't arise until next year maybe..
gorillaz isn't over, they have more songs on the way, as of now i know only of two, one with the american rapper pharrell and one with paul mccartney, and also they have a bunch of songs that weren't released on plastic beach, and some say that albarn will perform with gorillaz on the opening ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics
I'm still disappointed he didn't get on with Alan Moore, considering this whole opera is his idea. I really hope it's good, but I can only imagine it could have been even better.
Yeah, Andrew Marr, who days prior had interviewed Obama, given the gift of something even more significant, I would like to think Lord Albarn will get to recording it in the not too distant...
Damon Albarn, while leading Blur, Gorillaz and The Good the Bad and the Queen, has composed a baroque-like opera and he performs it with extremely rare instruments like a Gamba and a Baroque Guitar. This made my day.
@shinoaburameable Thank you! :) I tried Replay Media Catcher and Internet Download Manager, but sadly the BBC website has a protection those programs can't bypass...
