Orchestral Intro (feat. Sinfonia ViVA)

About Orchestral Intro (feat. Sinfonia ViVA)

This is the opening track from Plastic Beach, the third studio album by the virtual band Gorillaz. Murdoc discussed this orchestral piece on the Gorillaz website: "I needed something other-worldly to open the record. This album's been a while in the making and this needed to be The Big Reveal. It needed to be portentous, vast and… oceanic. But graceful. Like the morphine's just gently kicking in as the listener glides into the Plastic Bay. Mmmm." .
