** Song Machine takes the cake for how many artists are featured on a Gorillaz record, with some recognizable names including [[Music/TheCure Robert Smith]], Music/EltonJohn, Music/SchoolboyQ, Music/{{Beck}}, [[Music/NewOrder Peter]] [[Music/NewOrder Hook]], Fatoumata Diawara and Leee John amongst other names.
** Cracker Island also has a star-studded (though significantly smaller) lineup, including the likes of Music/TameImpala, Music/{{Thundercat}}, Bootie Brown, Music/StevieNicks, Music/BadBunny and Adeleye Omotayo. Previous collaborators Music/{{Beck}} and Music/DeLaSoul also appear on here.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: At the time, the fact that ''[[Music/GorillazAlbum Gorillaz]]''[='=]s first CD version gave you access to exclusive content on the band's interactive site was revolutionary. Now, if you play that movie that pops up when you put the disc into your computer all the way through, your browser opens up... to an error message. Indeed, the whole "Enhanced CD" fad was on its last legs around the time the album was released. Compare ''Music/DemonDays'' and ''Music/PlasticBeach'', which feature no such Autoplay content, but merely references in the booklet to sections of the band's website to find lyrics and other content.

** There was a second attempt to make a Gorillaz movie in 2021, which was going to be produced by Creator/{{Netflix}} and was made in line with ''Cracker Island'' . Unfortunately, the project was promptly cancelled two years later, due to Netflix choosing to downsize their content creation, resulting in their animation division being shut down. Because of this and the aforementioned issues working with [=DreamWorks=], Damon Albarn has since gone on record saying that there are no more plans for a Gorillaz movie in the near future.

** ''Song Machine'' was initially planned to be an ongoing album series, hence why it's given the designation of being Season 1. The second season was later scrapped for unknown reasons, with the band following up with ''Cracker Island'' instead (though Tormenta and New Gold are leftovers from what was produced for Season 2).

** Music/DeLaSoul was originally supposed to appear on "Kids With Guns" during the recording of ''Demon Days''. It was changed because Maseo was dissatisfied with the end result, feeling that the song didn't blend both groups' styles together well and felt forced overall. As such, the "Kids With Guns" feature went to Swedish singer Neneh Cherry, while De La Soul themselves would appear on "Feel Good Inc" instead.

* MemeAcknowledgement: Since the release of the music video for "Saturn Barz", Murdoc has occasionally referenced "the bath" meme, even going so far to claim that [[BlatantLies he knew it would be a meme the moment the video was dropped on YouTube]].

** During the release of ''Humanz'', Hewlett also teased a future bigger series to supplement the band, initially in 2017 a future 10-episode TV series, though without word on a broadcaster or definite release date. This morphed by 2018 into talks of a movie which he wrote the script for, with the most commonly-attached studio of note being [[Creator/{{Netflix}} Netflix Animation]]. Once ''Song Machine'' was underway in 2020, both Hewlett and Albarn have since confirmed that production on the film was occurring, though concrete details on its release and content have yet to surface. In early 2023, Albarn confirmed that [[https://www.stereogum.com/2214432/gorillaz-movie-canceled-amid-netflix-animation-purge-says-damon-albarn/news/ the project was cancelled by Netflix]] due to the company dismantling its animation division.
