Free Music Review: "You cant help but be happy with it."
Hit: 5 Stars
Originally conceived as being just a B-Sides collection for the Japanese market (the cover depicts a Tokyo backdrop with the cartoon band standing in front), Gorillaz' first record was so well received that demand for the record meant an inferior worldwide release was in order. Luckily enough for us here in Hong Kong though, the Japanese import, with its extra tracks and music videos, is the sole version available at major record stores and can be easily spotted by character Noodle holding a skeleton doll (shown), as opposed to Godzilla. Confused? We were too, but let's get on to the review. While most would consider it to be blasphemous for a critically acclaimed band with one record under their name to release a B-Sides/G-Sides collection so early in the game, when Gorillaz do it, you can't help but be happy with it, despite the fact that it doesn't really provide much new material. Consisting of seven original tracks and three remixes, the band have created a record that clocks in at just over 37 minutes, making it seven minutes long of being an EP. Remixes like "19-2000" and "Rock The House" are hit-and-miss, some building on the original tunes and making them somewhat better, others (like the Phi Life Cypher version of "Clint Eastwood") somewhat destroy the tunes, using a Jay-Z-like rap vocalist in place of Damon Albarn's superb lyrics. The original tunes are essentially the sole reason to pick up the compilation. Tunes like "Dracula," "Hip Albatross" and "Faust" calm things down, two tracks hearing the band trudging through with quotes from Dawn of the Dead, and the latter being an instrumental tune with chill-out sensibilities. "Ghost Train" feels straight out of the `70s, while "Left Hand Suzuki Method" is Japanese song of epic proportions that hears a solo effort from Noodle (Miho Hatori). But it's "12D3" that really impressed us, the closest Albarn has gone to creating a hash of Blur and Gorillaz, with a Alabama-esque acoustic accentuating the singer's voice perfectly.
