"An ego is a very dangerous thing to feed..."
"Film Music" is an odd piece, it was a song Damon planned to be included in the score for the Gorillaz film that never happened and was eventually tucked away as a b-side to the re-release of "Tomorrow Comes Today" music that played during a quiz game on the band's then website, Kong Studios. The song itself is just an instrumental Damon made using only synths, a drum machine loop and a Western type guitar. The song's eery yet disjointed Western cinema vibe is similar to the works of no wave band Wall Of Voodoo. However the song isn't fully developed, it's a loop of a song that could have been, it was made only to be background for the movie and not as a main focus.
The film if it was finished would have served most likely as a proper link between the style of Gorillaz first album with the more apocalyptic and socially conscious themes on their second album, "Demon Days". It was to be called "Celebrity Harvest" and only a bit is known about the film otherwise (what is known is very contradicting and isn't really worth getting into here, stuff about Russel & 2D's different madnesses, Murdoc becoming a zombie after being attacked by his old metal band lead by Del The Ghost Rapper, the Grim Reaper comes to take Del and probably interrogate with the band while he's there; it's complicated). What can be assumed is that there would have been music, mature humor (Jamie wanted to head for something like old Monty Python movies combined with Beatles and Sex Pistols movies), apocalyptic undertones ("the world being trapped in an endless night") and a satire of the pop industry and media as we know it. Jamie Hewlett and Cass Browne did write a script and were approached by companies such as Dreamworks to make the movie. However most of the companies wanted a movie with the characters that was more kid friendly, which was exactly the opposite of what Jamie wanted. So he sat on the script until he and Damon had enough money to make it under their terms. In the mean time, Damon & Jamie decided to take a break and work on other things before they got on to the next record.
