GORILLAZ - G-Sides
With their take on a B-sides release, the Gorillaz offer
up some re-mixes, new bits, as well as a couple of videos. The animated
character image of the band and the great videos are exactly what set
them apart from the other stale acts around. A gimmick, maybe, but one
hell of an effective one, even though it gets represented as more rough
& tough than it actually is. 19-2000 receives a Soulchild
remix, Left Hand the Suzuki Method and Clint Eastwood
a Phi Life Cypher version, all maintaining the Gorillaz
essence, though. Hip Albatross contains audio clips from the classic
George A. Romero zombie movies Day Of The Dead & Dawn Of The
Dead! The PC viewable videos (if you have the limited required system)
include the tremendous animated clips for their signature song, Clint
Eastwood as well as happy-go-lucky Rock The House. In some
respects a few of the tracks get a darker dimension, as opposed to the
usual hype-e-fied route taken by re-mixes.
