Some disks can not be a genre. To As the White Album by the Beatles ("The Beatles" 1967) or the "center of the world" by Element of Crime. When in January 2007, the publication of the work The Good, The Bad & The Queen decency, were the receiver after the end of Blur and the huge success of 2 Album of the Gorrilaz very interesting to see what would bring Damon Albarn's new project about, after all, he had the then 67-year-Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen, ex-The Clash-Simon Tong on bass and ex-The-Verve Simon Tong for guitar aboard the vessel.
And keeps the disc, which promises the occupation. Of the twelve songs no one should bear some mau, 80's Life and Kingdom Of Doom are even two absolute Topsong on it and on the closing song, which bears the project name to see the four men actually on par with The Velvet Underground. The guitar always hovers gently in the background, as Albarn's mainly piano with the melodies. Sometimes he sings melancholy, dreamy, with its unimitierbaren, charismatic and sometimes a bit skewed vote. Without Tony Allen's drums, the music would be only half as meaningful, and so this contribution is also the secret highlight. writing by Afro-strikes would be excessive and that the drummer, but in a different area has its musical roots, is unmistakable.
conjures Sun and the dream of this unique album then, neither India nor pop nor anything else. A concept album about London, it was, let Albarn know in interviews. Northern whales would not exist ( it is about the whale, who had a year earlier lost in the Thames ) one is non-Londoner, dignity is not likely to find evidence. The idea of the concept album is in itself not address all cases, because the album is a quality unit, where everything but really everything is well.
