Synopsis
"I tell you what, right, I can guarantee you're going to get some real juicy bits of Gorillaz info. I'll probably slag off loads of people, too. It'll be packed full of great shots from the sets of our videos, gigs, rehearsals, interviews...you name it. It's all in there. So place your order up front kids, this book going to be a scorcher!" - Gorillaz bass-slayer Murdoc Nicalls. This stunning, full-colour hardback will be the most unique rock autobiography ever published. Gorillaz have always been as much about the visuals as they are about the music, and the autobiography will be a feast for the eyes. Featuring brand new art from and designed by Jamie Hewlett, this is the full story of Murdoc, 2D, Noodle and Russel Hobbs for the first time. Included will be their emailing with their motley crew of collaborators, from Ike Turner to Sean Ryder, and accounts of the gigs, the movie (for the first time), the videos and the website - including the low down on Kong Studios, their legendary HQ. It is an essential purchase for a legion of fans.

About the Author
Gorillaz are the charismatically vile Murdoc (bass), charming 2D (vocals), haunted hip-hop hardman Russel Hobbs (drums), and ten-year-old Japanese phenom Noodle (guitars), who showed up one day in a FedEx crate speaking no English but packing a mean karate kick, an unknown past, and undeniable talent. The brainchild of musician Damon Albarn of the band Blur and comic-book innovator Jamie Hewlett, who was just named the 2006 Designer of the Year-the UK's most prestigious design prize, Gorillaz are (according to the Guinness World Records) the "World's Most Successful Virtual Band." They shot to fame in 2001 with their debut album 'Gorillaz,' which sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. Their second album, 2005's 'Demon Days,' produced a string of chart-topping singles, went double platinum in the United States, and has sold more than 6 million copies throughout the world.

Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre
Seller: Volker Ziesing, Gaienhofen, Germany
Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Very Good. Das Werk entfaltet die fiktive und zugleich faszinierende Lebensgeschichte der weltweit ersten virtuellen Band. In einer Mischung aus Biografie und grafischer Erzählkunst begleiten die Leser die vier Bandmitglieder von ihren turbulenten Anfängen bis hin zum globalen Erfolg ihrer ersten großen Alben. Die Erzählung wird direkt aus der Sicht der animierten Charaktere geschildert, was der Geschichte eine humorvolle, oft absurde und stets originelle Note verleiht. Es werden tiefe Einblicke in die Entstehung der Aufnahmestudios gewährt, die Hintergründe der Musikvideos beleuchtet und die chaotischen Welttourneen detailliert beschrieben. Die Verbindung von Illustrationen und erzählerischen Texten schafft ein multimediales Erlebnis, das die Grenze zwischen Realität und Fiktion verschwimmen lässt und die Entstehungsgeschichte der virtuellen Bandmitglieder in einem völlig neuen Licht zeigt.Die Rückmeldungen der Leser sind überwältigend positiv, wobei besonders die Detailverliebtheit und der immersive Charakter der Erzählung hervorgehoben werden. Fans schätzen die Möglichkeit, tief in die Hintergrundgeschichte der Charaktere einzutauchen, die weit über das hinausgeht, was in den Musikvideos zu sehen ist. Die humorvolle Schreibweise, die den individuellen Persönlichkeiten der Bandmitglieder treu bleibt, wird als besonderes Highlight gelobt. Viele betrachten das Buch als ein unverzichtbares Sammlerstück, das die visuelle Identität der Gruppe perfekt einfängt. Auch die Qualität der künstlerischen Gestaltung wird immer wieder als herausragend bezeichnet, da sie die Atmosphäre der verschiedenen Schaffensphasen eindrucksvoll wiedergibt. Die Leser genießen die anarchische Energie und den Reichtum an Hintergrundinformationen, die in dieser Form einzigartig sind.In den redaktionellen Rezensionen wird das Werk als ein Meilenstein der Popkultur gefeiert, der das Konzept einer virtuellen Band auf ein völlig neues Niveau hebt. Kritiker loben die nahtlose Integration von Grafikdesign und Storytelling, die das Buch zu einem eigenständigen Kunstwerk macht. Die kreative Vision hinter dem Projekt wird als mutig und innovativ gewürdigt, da sie es schafft, einer rein digitalen Existenz eine greifbare und komplexe Historie zu unterlegen. Es wird als essentielles Dokument für das Verständnis moderner Musikvermarktung und kreativer Mediennutzung angesehen. Die Fachwelt ist sich einig, dass die Kombination aus scharfem Witz und ästhetischer Brillanz ein einzigartiges Leseerlebnis schafft, das weit über eine herkömmliche Musikerbiografie hinausgeht und neue Maßstäbe für die Verbindung von Kunst und Musik setzt.
