History Trivia / GorillazAlbum

* TechnologyMarchesOn: At the time, the fact that the album'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.

Because Automator asked him to do it at the end of a long session for the first Music/Deltron3030 album, Del initially just wanted to call it a day. The Phi Life Cypher version appeared on ''G-Sides'', but the Del version is much better known. ** "5/4" was originally going to be released as a single, but was replaced by "19-2000" at the last minute.
