Gorillaz detroit the fall

A free Christmas release, billed as "the World's First iPad Album", this nice marketing gimmick is the result of Damon Albarn's restlessness on tour. This is the nearest we have got to seeing what I would call a universal machine.

Hockney is presumably drawn to the novelty as much as to the functionality of Apple's curious device, which is like a big iPhone that won't make calls, or like a small laptop without a keyboard. Rather than render it redundant or limited, those disabilities have made it as universal as Hockney attests, attracting hundreds of thousands of users ranging from my mom to Damon Albarn, who recorded the new Gorillaz album on his iPad.

The Fall , released for free on Christmas, is a nice marketing gimmick and the product of Albarn's restlessness on tour. While Hockney's sketches clearly look like they were done on some kind of computer, nothing about Albarn's songs reveals their origins. Instead, The Fall possesses the crisply eccentric production value of a typical Gorillaz album, which may be a testament to the iPad's ability to manipulate and combine sound files with little loss of fidelity or complexity.

On the other hand, it doesn't appear to handle hip-hop very well. Tracks: 1. Phoner To Arizona 2. Revolving Doors 3. Hillbilly Man 4. Detroit 5. Shy-Town 6. Little Pink Plastic Bags 7. The Joplin Spider 8. The Parish of Space Dust 9. The Snake In Dallas Amarillo The Speak It Mountains Aspen Forest Bobby In Phoenix Audio Mixer: Stephen Sedgwick.

The hook to The Fall is that it's the first high-profile album to be recorded entirely on Apple's iPad, Damon Albarn assembling these 15 song sketches as the Gorillaz tour rolled across America in the fall of In that sense, The Fall is not dissimilar from his limited-edition solo excursion Democrazy, which was also recorded in hotel rooms while on tour, yet The Fall has a higher profile -- it's not a vinyl-only fan club release, it can be freely streamed from the Gorillaz official site and can be downloaded as part of a subscription package -- and thanks to the high-quality iPad apps it sounds polished, if not quite finished.
