Gorillaz - Demon Days

For this session we'll be listening to the following album: Gorillaz - Demon Days (2005)

"Demon Days" is Gorillaz's apocalyptic 2005 masterpiece—Damon Albarn's cartoon band channeling post-9/11 anxiety into hip-hop-infused alt-rock. De La Soul, MF DOOM, and Dennis Hopper populate this dystopian vision. "Feel Good Inc." became inescapable. "Dare" pulses with dance-floor menace. This isn't just virtual band novelty—it's Albarn's most cohesive, emotionally resonant statement. Dark, groovy, culturally essential. Their definitive work.

A little bit about our carefully crafted stereosystem...

• At the heart of our setup is a vintage Thorens TD160 MKII turntable, renowned for its precision and clarity. This Swiss-made classic brings out the nuances in every groove, faithfully reproducing the artist's intent.
• Powering our system is the legendary McIntosh MC275 vacuum tube amplifier. This audiophile favorite delivers rich, dynamic sound with a touch of tube warmth that perfectly complements vinyl playback.
• For speakers, we alternate between two exceptional pairs. Our vintage Pioneer Exclusive (TAD) speakers from the 1970s offer a glimpse into the golden age of hi-fi, with their detailed and expansive soundstage. Complementing these are the modern Zu Soul 6 speakers, built right here in Utah and known for their efficiency and lifelike presentation, bringing a contemporary edge to our listening experience.
