Demon days live

Another proof of the talent of Blur frontman Damon Albarn. I mean, for the fact that the whole "gorilla" project is actually just a kind of Albarn's side gig, we can't help but smile. At the beginning this project was deceptive in body and its visualization made it look like a consumer product for – figuratively speaking – "Ace addicts", but appearances are deceptive. The music isn't appealing at first listen, it's not catchy and lacks some major memorable hits (“Clint Eastwood” being one of the few exceptions), but still (or maybe because of that) it's very nice to listen to. This unique concert is a beautiful example of audio-visual synergy, interesting and imaginative projections, top-notch sound system, the musicians remain "anonymous" most of the time (just shadows on the rear projection) and it's all about the music, in short, the whole thing runs like a Swiss watch. A nice experience. (09/03/2008)
