Review by thinktankgirl Jan 06, 2004
'X-Offender', Damon's Control Freak remix of 'Bugman', is proof that Albarn's no longer just an indie pretty-boy. This mix strips away the loud guitars of the original and replaces it with low-key hip-hop stylings. 'Sunset Coming On', meanwhile, is an odd, ambient, world music arrangement. An incredibly interesting musician who pushes back the boundaries of the pop and indie scenes, I recommend Damon Albarn to anyone looking for something different to listen to. You'd be surprised.
