The Digital Atlantis: Rediscovering the Gorillaz ‘Plastic Beach’ iTunes LP

Musically, Plastic Beach is Albarn’s most expansive effort. The deluxe edition, particularly the iTunes LP format mentioned in the source title, emphasizes the visual-audio synergy intended by Hewlett and Albarn. The sound is markedly "synthetic"; analog synthesizers dominate the landscape, replacing the organic guitar riffs of previous records. Tracks like "Stylo" utilize arpeggiated electronics to create a sense of motion and urgency, mirroring the precarious nature of the floating island.
