![]() Plastic Beach (2010) [ larger cover art ] |
Oh joys are us
The sun has come again
To hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the week
The polyphonic prayer is here
It’s all around you
It’s all around you out here
And if the whole world is crashing
Down on you
Fall through space out of mind
With me
Where the emptiness we leave behind on
Warm air rising
Blows all the shadows far away
The falling of the whole empire is here
To hold you
Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps
Little memories marching on
Your little feet working the machine
Say will it spin will it soar
My little dreams working the machine
Soon like a wave that pass will fall
And closing in on you they're
Going on
Little memories your little feet working
The machine
Say will it spin will it soar
My little dreams working the machine
Soon like a wave that pass will fall
And closing in on you they're
Going on

| Limpopoking (The Parish of St. Alfonzo) | Posted: Nov 26, 2012 - 10:24 Dear Bill. Thank you very much for playing Gorillaz. Thank you for ignoring those who don't understand what brilliant music this is. Thank you for starting Radio Paradise. Yours most devotedly. LK |
| flyboy50 (New England) | Posted: Oct 12, 2012 - 13:49 I made a huge leap in my musical taste when I bought Demon Days. I've been a fan ever since. Saw them in Austin TX during their Empire Ants tour. Powerful show. |

| kaybee (Lost in the Wilds of Toronto) | Posted: Apr 19, 2012 - 16:25 The more I hear of Gorillaz, the more I like! Percussion in this is nice (and I note something really neat as I edit this reply: the banana icon does a really good "mashed potato"! I could type and delete all night! ) ![]() |

| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Mar 26, 2011 - 14:13 For me, the best part is Yukimi Nagano's voice - love her. The rest, . . . .kind of sounds just computer generated and commercial. |

| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Mar 23, 2011 - 16:24 This is a really good tune. I'm not a fan of Snoopy Doggg but his Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach track is pretty good, too, IMO. |
| jageffen (Munich) | Posted: Mar 09, 2011 - 01:41 This is just such an amazing song! Pure atmosphere... |

| alanthecowboy (Lakefield) | Posted: Nov 14, 2010 - 18:24 One of our best friends out there on the west coast just saw these guys a couple of nights ago, and said there were a couple of 'those guys from the clash' playing with them. I was going to call BS on that, then looked it up. Yes, Paul Simonon and Mick Jomes are both in the touring band. I sort of wish I'd flown out to BC to see them now, for some reason. |

As for bands who can issue what they want and have it received well, there are a zillion. This might be one, but if I hear a song by them that I don't like, I'll be the first to ignore it and move on to Turin Brakes or Dan Fogelberg. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Sep 18, 2010 - 09:12 Always love the Gorillaz! |
| smdeeg (SillyCone Valley) | Posted: Sep 15, 2010 - 10:13 I like this new album all right, but not nearly as much as I liked Gorillaz and Demon Days. |

On the strength of the comments here we downloaded the whole album. Good thing, too —- it has to be listened to in its entirety. Out of the sixteen tracks there are two that we hit fast forward on. And yeah, I hear everything from Procol Harum to hip hop to twee Britness to live theatre in here. My recommendation is buy it. While I'm here, as I write this we are really enjoying a track called Real Love by Delorean. Seems to go well with a bottle of Spanish red and the mauve sky over Lake Scugog. God I love summer. Too bad it's only five minutes long here in The Great White. |
