10 iconic Gorillaz moments
Monkey business
2D meets 3D
Not content with keeping the Gorillaz self-contained, in 2003 Albarn recorded backing vocals for the Bristolian band Massive Attack. Under the guise of 2D, his contributions can be heard on ‘Small Time Shot Away’ on Massive Attack’s fourth studio album, ‘100th Window’. Massive attack co-founder and only original member on the record Robert Del Naja (who also may be Banksy) goes by the nickname ‘3D’. A match made in virtual heaven. Perhaps next time they could link with X Factor winning boy band 1D for a release on 4AD?
