Damon Albarn's Quote And News On Gorillaz

China is not as alien as you might think. The world we live in is driven by it.
- Damon Albarn

During an interview with NME, Damon Albarn said so.

From the frontman of Blur to the mastermind of Gorillaz, Damon Albarn has a huge fanbase in China. He came to China to promote the album two years ago. I hope he wouldn't do something to get banned after a tightening policy for foreign performers in China.

Now news on Gorillaz's new album. The new LP titled Monkey will be released in the late Summer. According to various sources, it won't be a normal album. It will be an opera score based on the opera of Chinese classic Journey to the West. Remember The Forbidden Kingdom? It was also based on the novel.

Will it be a hit? I am not sure, but I can foresee the possible promotion for the album in China. The tracklist is said to be:

1. Monkey's World
2. Monkey Travels
3. Into the Eastern Sea
4. The Living Sea
5. The Dragon King
6. Iron Rod
7. Out of the Eastern Sea
8. Heavenly Peach Banquet
9. Battle in Heaven
10. O Mi To Fu
11. Whisper
12. Tripitaka's Curse
13. Confessions of a Pig
14. Sandy the River Demon
15. March of the Volunteers
16. The White Skeleton Demon
17. Monk's Song
18. I Love Buddha
19. March of the Iron Army
20. Pigsy in Space
21. Monkey Bee
22. Disappearing Volcano
