Q Bits & Bobs (3/10) http://fans.gorillaz.com/news.php Gorillaz' Demon Days has been proclaimed by this month's Q Magazine as one of the 20 greatest albums of the past 20 years. Here's what they had to say about the band's latest long-player: "Surpassing even Blur's creative and commercial peaks, Damon Albarn threw the London Community Gospel Choir, Shaun Ryder and Dennis Hopper into the mix on this modern classic. Also introduces the wider world to Danger Mouse, a talent you suspect is just getting started." They also give some glowing column inches to the band's new book, Rise of the Ogre (released 2 November), with this four-star review: "Gorillaz might have been part-conceived as a means of stepping back from frontman chores but Damon Albarn has overcompensated everywhere else. Each Gorillaz project is more mind-bogglingly ambitious than the last. Accordingly, this autobiography is mammoth: generous in text and with Jamie Hewlett's wonderful artwork. From Murdoc's birth in 'the stinking borough of Stoke-on-Trent' to Gorillaz moving to LA's Mulholland Drive in 2002, the made-up band's made-up story - as 'told' to live drummer Cass Browne - is rendered in Spinal Tap richness. Music to the eyes. Essential Quote: 'The truth is cheaper than fiction' - Murdoc." Not sure what Murdoc's going to make of all of this praise for Albarn in com- pany but some fantastic reviews nonetheless! --
