Kid Koala - Gorillaz Routine

[@MauricioJara]

Phase 1 Gorillaz just had a certain aesthetic and overall mood that wasn't replicated ever again. Is it the Cartoon-Network aesthetic? The zombie-hip-hop? The experimental music? Something I really like from the first Phase was Damon's voice was very experimental at the time. Phase 1 just had a certain magic to it man.

[@obvioustroll.yetyoustillgo1634]

Phase 1 is unmatched and will always leave this massive sense of nostalgia for me, kinda makes me sad to watch this vid and see all the drawings of the Gorrilaz in their old style. Gorillaz is just something magical.

[@MauricioJara]

@@obvioustroll.yetyoustillgo1634I don’t think their current stuff is bad, but their older material from the first three phases, and Phase 1 in specific will always have a bigger place in my heart. I prefer the themes and mood of it.

[@dani-manson]

I wasn’t even alive when phase 1 was going on but it’s my favorite phase.

[@MauricioJara]

@@dani-mansonI think one of the reasons it’s my fav phase is that it wasn’t lore heavy. Sure the characters had backstories, but they were originally just supposed to be just another band that just so happened to be cartoon characters.

[@gutsypath9]

The synths they used for the debut album has a very characteristic sound of the 2000s. I think that plays a giant rol

[@darkneurotic]

Is really amazing how 12 years after uploading this song on KZbin, finally I meet Damon Albarn and others Gorillaz members. (Two times, you can watch also my others videos) I’m so happy sharing music and reading all the comments here from people who feel the same feeling. All I have to say is “Dreams Come True” believe in yourself and love yourself. Thanks for everyone! Keep listening Gorillaz music! It’s not a just a band, is something bigger than a simple band. So happy for live this life ❤️

[@hihi-jm8py]

when did you meet them?

[@gutsypath9]

Believe you is easy!

[@SillyLilDawg]

this is amazing man, i’m glad your dreams came true. Now all that’s left is for our dreams to come true too, and I know they will! I adore gorillaz and dan the automator. I hope i become amazing musicians like them! I love this song so damn much. Pls never take it down

[@nurikamishiro]

OMGS THATS SO COOL

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

this is a sad but great song. this should have made on an album. they need to release everything lost and rare song. i don't care what the quality of the song is, as long as its them. everything these guys make is amazing. This song makes me sad.

[@portalguy2246]

they were often released elsewhere, like the old website

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

and on some videogames

[@portalguy2246]

that's what I meant by the website, unless you meant something else

[@triplecrown113]

snoop dogg dank kush This isn't even a Gorillaz song, it's a Dan The Automator song ft Damon remixed by Kid Koala. The album this song was on got cancelled by Dan's record label.

[@triplecrown113]

HeyKay 47 Bc the label thought the record was too small to bother releasing. it's really sad. but Kid Koala said the original non remixed version will be on Dan's new project

[@GlebyGlobster]

If there is ever a Gorillaz movie. This should be the song that plays during the credits.

[@TheJjoshie]

This is actually a masterpiece.

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

I love Gorillaz, because they're the only band that really brings you into their universe.

[@carsonsmith5022]

As The Now Now tour winds down to an end and Gorillaz fade once again into the background of music, I’m drawn back to this track-this beautiful beautiful track. This sad, heartbreaking track that tears my heart in two, flooding it with all the nostalgia of the band, and the pure joy I felt seeing them live. Gorillaz will always be the best band, simply due to the soul, energy, love, heart, and character put into every second of music they produce. Thank you Gorillaz. See you in ten years. I’ll be waiting. Peace out guys.✌🏻

[@Vincentzw]

This track will always make me think about the trips I took seeing them live... including demon dayz. Forever and always the best band.

[@blackbeat7418]

I love how all of these unedited songs sound like old flash games due to the bad quality

[@user-yw6ru3vm3l]

I had no idea this song existed, but now it’s somehow my favorite gorillaz song now. Hell pretty damn close to my being just my favorite song in general. Even if it sounds weird at times, that’s just cause it never got to really grow into itself.

[@user-yw6ru3vm3l]

Don’t correct me please, I now know Damon worked on it but it’s technically not a gorillaz song. Nonetheless my opinion stands about the same.

[@dani-manson]

This is when you get the the VERY TOP of melancholy hill.

[@hayley3585]

I’ve been looking for this song again for YEARS because I remember hearing it when I was younger on this same video and just today I remembered the name of it. God bless. This song makes me feel so nostalgic and a little sad, but I also feel at peace listening to this song. Something about it really captivated me as a kid. Glad to have finally found it again.

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

yes truly a piece of art. I love this song so damn much 😭😭😭

[@themimin]

This song gives a feeling of hope but at the same time of desolation, it's like lying on a sofa in a cold room thinking about what you left behind but it's still scary. xd

[@juliusrosen7190]

Same I get the feeling like I’m on a boat in the middle of the ocean with no else, yet happy being alone. This song has the power of sadness and happiness like you said!

[@xavb5838]

Literally what I'm doing now tf?

[@bigmacsavage4709]

i felt the same. i find myself at ease but the sadness it's still in the air. Like a loner beach walk

[@joelwoods7149]

Never saw Gorillaz do this but I did see Kid Koala do it several times opening for Radiohead. Those were the days.

[@robo4943]

We need a whole album of these lost songs and it should be called "Cyborg Noodle's Hard Drive"

[@hezzipoint2005]

that would be so cool because even though this song is from phase 1, the story could be something like murdoc installed and saved every single gorillaz song into cyborg to insure it was protected and the files wouldn't get stolen/corrupted/etc. and idk if cyborg is still a flower pot like noodle said or if shes sunk into the sea like in the lost chord, but they could make an ep with all the unreleased songs, and any songs that are "low audio quality" could be "explained" as water damage!

[@SteinsGoat]

just yes.

[@zellodine4708]

Somehow this is the first time I've ever heard this song. Very mesmerizing tune.

[@psychedelicpiper999]

Completely forgot about this track. I must have last heard it when I was in middle school. I’m 26 now. I hunted down every Phase 1 and Phase 2 track of Gorillaz back then. Used to check Gorillaz-Unofficial like crazy, which had all known existing Gorillaz tracks listed on its site. I know this technically isn’t a Gorillaz track, but since it was mistaken as one by many people, I somehow came across it on the web. I definitely remember this one clearly as soon as I started hearing it.

[@lazchurchyard1229]

This, and "FM". I wish '2D' did more collabs. 😅

[@moonflame1170]

Gorillaz reminds me of a very discrete alcoholic who wanders around town in a haze when he's drunk, vomiting songs in the most unlikely of places, and then in the morning doesn't remember anything about it and just moves on with his life. And there's just the city, with all its nooks and crannies filled with these hidden... erm... Gems. The internet is a Gorillaz wasteland.

[@erinsquest406]

With these unreleased songs it feels timeless to come back here

[@drcKY1]

This song humbles me with the simplicity of its beauty. I wish there was a button I could push so that I could hear this song in my head at any given time.

[@CryingAutumn]

​@@gabs1131 I'm 2 years late, but still. You'd be right if this were an official Gorillaz track, but I believe this isn't. Routine is a Kid Koala remix of Lonely Man by Dan the Automator, featuring Damon Albarn, which was originally meant to be on Omakase, before being cut. Currently, the original version of Lonely Man is lost. This song isn't an official Gorillaz track, though has understandably been mistaken as one.

@@CryingAutumn ok I respect u for this knowledge lol I wrote that when I was deep in my gorillaz phase

[@brenmac]

i listened this song throughout getting over my break up with a long term girlfriend.. it just perfectly reflected how i felt... and i regret listening to this song when i was depressed because it will never sound the same :(either way this song is perfect

[@genesis8284]

It really is so bittersweet to listen to a masterpiece like this and know it never saw its true potential…When Damon and co. composed these rare little gems back in the late ‘90’s and early 2000’s I’m sure they never thought anything of throwing some to the wayside. Nowadays, listening to this song does evoke a sadness in me. Nothing like Gorillaz

[@hineraable]

This song is so freaking difficult to find when you forget it's name.

[@juliusrosen7190]

God I wish this was released! Sounds so complete and MEZMARIZING!!!

[@rachaelpeavey5344]

they should have released the song! why didnt the gorillaz release the song?! it sounds so beautiful!

[@ArtistTheArtist05]

This is actually a Kid Koala song

[@rachaelpeavey5344]

Distorted Glitch actually, kid koala does some stuff with the gorillaz, and I did some research and it was a song Damon albarn did not release and kid koala turned it into a remix

[@ArtistTheArtist05]

+Rachael Peavey links? I would like to read up on this as well

[@ArtistTheArtist05]

+Rachael Peavey Ok, did some digging around and it's a remix (like you said) of a fan dubbed song called "Lonely Man". I'm tempted to ask Kid Koala to release this as a single on iTunes but that might take him some time and he probably won't be up to it

[@bigmacsavage4709]

once again I became obsessed with this band and started listening to all their stuff but for real this time. Man... the incredibly VAST amount of genres Damon encompassed by himself it's just amazing and there's something so eerie about this track although it isn't in the albums but feels quite nice at the same time. i just love it

The song that got me into turntablism and Gorillaz, such a cruel twist of fate it never got properly released. It casts such a mystifying and beautiful haze around itself. It was originally supposed to be released under the album Omakase by Dan the Automator before being scrapped entirely.

@Brandon Ortiz I landed on the silver lake Washed up and feeling blue Heard the sound of footsteps Drifting softly to the moon Looking for clear water I had to take control Out there in wilderness Another bullet hole Playing it all for gods Yesterday Idaho, Idaho There's a beauty on the road And everyday I look out of the bus Silver linings getting lost Floated out into the woods To hear the old elk call Touched a rainbow with my hands I'm dry, I got 'em all "Ride on, " said the king of cool You've got nothing to lose Tinseltown is down the road It's the bullet of the noose If you're playing it all for gods Far away Idaho, Idaho There's a beauty on the road And everyday I look out of the bus Silver linings getting lost

[@vacuumgaze5277]

this was technically 2003, but your point is still valid.It feels like Humanz was this obvious and in a way seemingly mandatory Damon and Jamie release that as a reaction.But maybe 2000s politics were simpler or maybe the culture like Gorillaz music made us think that. In the end, Humanz could never be like Gorillaz or Demon Days, with an event like that election, brexit, and the mess of 2016 and 2017 politics, Damon & Jamie might have feared of releasing an album like that. In the end, at least Gorillaz didn't leave in silence.
