Dr Dee is 18 tracks of songs and music inspired by the life of John Dee, mathematician, polymath and advisor to Elizabeth I. Described by Albarn as 'strange pastoral folk', Dr Dee is a fitting companion to the end of another Elizabethan age. The album combines Albarn's voice with early English choral and instrumentation alongside modern, West African and Renaissance sounds.

Dr Dee was recorded late last year in Albarn's West London studio and also in Salford with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. The album was mixed by Valgeir Sigursson in Reykjavik.

something strange magic different trope slow to sing, but a profound majesty and beauty of voice full and .....The album demon days I loved it : melodic and unlike anything we hear from other artists I love you Damon Albarn

[Jordan Sampson]

Appearently, Damon's next solo album is going to be heavily influenced by Soul and Folk music. It will be produced by Damon himself alongside Richard Russell of XL Recordings.

I wonder what the end results will be. What if it's Dr. Dee mixed with Bobby Womack's The Bravest Man in The Universe? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[Jordan Sampson]

Damon's got another solo album coming up that's finished he's planning on touring next year, and this time it's not a soundtrack.
