Gorillaz- fighting For A Funkier Tomorrow

The Gorillaz, Damon Albarn (lead singer for Blur) Dan the Automator (San Francisco hip-hop visionary) and Del the Funkee Homosapien (Cousin of gangster rapper Ice Cube) have created a yet another piece of music that points to where hip-hop should be heading in the next millenium. Fans of the futuristic Hip -Hop concept album Deltron 3030 will find Tomorrow Comes Today a compainion piece to the LP. Mabye not so much a companion but a distant cousion, for Tomorrow comes Today if farther removed from anything weve heard.

This EP is fantastic! A must for any fan of Damon Albarn's songs. The mood of this recording is laid-back,the acoustic guitar, piano and melodica fit nicely with the mellow shimmying beats. Damon's voice sounds sexy and the melodies are catchy. Hip-Hop fans gravitating to this may be a bit dissapointed, Del is featured only on one track.

Gorillaz first single, "Tomorrow Comes Today", is a melancholic piece of urban pop, where Damon Albarn`s mellow voice makes an excelent combination with the hip/ trip-hop elements and textures. It`s also one of the best moments of the band`s debut album, and one of the most infectious singles of the last years. The CD also includes an english version of the cuban-sounding "Latin Simone" and the hip-hop oriented "Rock the House". As an extra, there`s also the quiet and lo-fi "12D3", probably the less interesting of the bunch but still worth a listen.
A good beginning for an innovative and witty project.

gorillaz are one of my new favorite bands and i think this album rocks, not just becuase im a fan but because i think they have some pretty fresh music. This album also has latin simone in english(latin simone is one of my favorite tracks). so if your a fan or just lookin for some new good tunes this is the album for you!!

Consisting of Dan "The Automator" Nakamura, Del the Funkee Homosapien, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, Kid Koala, Miho Hatori, and Damon Albarn, Gorillaz is some kind of messed up supergroup. Their debut EP (with album to follow this spring) is alternative cut-and-paste hip-hop, much like Nakamura's Handsome Boy Modeling School, but with smoother edges and a cooler type of soul. Blur's Damon Albarn adds his velvety vocals to three of the four songs here, but that's all the surface connection you'll find. The songs are as unlike each other as the band members; frustrating, maybe, on such a short EP, but promising for the full length to come. Best in show is the freaky lullaby "12D3", which I'm betting will be too weird to make the final cut.

tomorrow comes today is a really good cd because it has latin simone in english which, even though i spanish is probably my favorite lanuguage, i prefer over the spanish version on their self titled cd...and i like the songs on this cd...something..im gonna shut up now

pick it up. its a good single, if you like albarn then you will love this. what have you got to lose, other then a few bucks? who cares anyway. check out the site its fun, especially the mixer thing.

This CD is pretty good, it features everything that is on the region 2 DVD of the same name, I'm not a big fan of tomorrow comes today, i think it's one of the weaker tracks on their CD, but the jump the gut video is pretty funny and the track music for it is pretty good, other than that, a lot of waste on this CD. The tomorrow dub is not good and the video is the same and the song is the same, overall a copy of the original with some bonus things, as stated before only for hardcore fans.

im 2d mmm... won't you buy me mmm... piano chord mmm... dictionary mmm

yeah! buy it just for 12d3!! has two album songs and an even better version of latin simone with damon's vocals!
