Gorillaz

Before I even get started talking about how much this band rules I want to up Monkey's Journey to the West

Monkey is the newest project of Damon Albarn (of Blur and Gorillaz) and they rule pretty hard.
Their album Journey to the West is a musical retelling of the classic Chinese epic folktale of the same name (it is often called "Monkey" in the U.S.). You will like Journey to the West (even if you don't speak Chinese) if you're a fan of eastern music, the Gorillaz, or the classic folktale.

Now, onto the bigger primate of concern...

I'm sure everyone in the world is familiar with Gorillaz, whether it be via Clint Eastwood, 19-2000, or Feel Good Inc. If you've never heard anything other than their radio songs/music videos, then you're missing out on some awesome music. Gorillaz blend so many different styles, instruments, and artists that it's impossible to truly pin them down in any genre. Every song on a Gorillaz album sounds different from the previous track, they never get old, and they sound so fucking chill when you're high.
Gorillaz first self titled release is one of my favorite albums of all time.

G-Sides (contains a few really good remixes and some new original tracks)


Gorillaz vs. Spacemonkeyz: Laika Come Home

This is a dub-remix album by the Spacemonkeyz that I think is pretty good. If you're in the mood for some chill dub, then def check this out.
