Product Description

The Good, The Bad and The Queen is a new band featuring Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz), Paul Simonon (The Clash), Tony Allen (Africa 70 / Fela Kuti) and Simon Tong (The Verve).

The Good, The Bad and The Queen began life in the Aphrodisia Studios in Nigeria in 2004. Damon Albarn and guitarist Simon Tong had travelled to Lagos to record with veteran drummer and Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen. Working with local musicians, the trio recorded an album's worth of material.

Back in England, Damon gave the recordings to producer Brian 'Danger Mouse' Burton and the result is a record specific to a place and a time but with a background that is geographically wide-ranging and stretches far back into a glittering musical past. 'The Good, The Bad And The Queen' traces a journey from the English music hall tradition, over to West Africa for Afrobeat, zigzagging through the West Indies and its reggae and dub, back to England and London's punk scene, all the while taking in a strand of British beat music from the '50s right through to Britpop.

シングル曲にもなったGreen Fieldsはいったい誰が緑の野原を石に変えたんだっていう政治的な曲らしいですが、とっても素晴らしい曲でした。

'07年発表｡ﾌﾞﾗｰ､ｺﾞﾘﾗｽﾞと過剰なまでに創作ｴﾈﾙｷﾞｰを放出し続けるﾃﾞｰﾓﾝが立ち上げた新ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞ｡結論を言えば､ｺﾞﾘﾗｽﾞほど斬新な新機軸を打ち出すものではないものの､ﾌﾞﾗｰ93年作の英国志向と03年作の多国籍志向の幸福な融合とも単純に言い切れない､不思議な吸引力をもったｱﾙﾊﾞﾑ｡元ｸﾗｯｼｭのﾎﾟｰﾙ･ｼﾑﾉﾝというｸﾚｼﾞｯﾄのせいで巨大な妄想と期待を駆け巡らせたﾌｧﾝは多いと思うが､実際は元ｳﾞｧｰｳﾞのｻｲﾓﾝ同様､ﾐｭｰｼﾞｼｬﾝ･ｴｺﾞは最小限｡しかし､ﾄﾆｰ･ｱﾚﾝがﾄﾞﾗﾑを叩くことで､4人ならではの結晶作用ないしﾏｼﾞｯｸが最終曲に向けて炸裂する｡
