    I must work out which combination of emoticons represents irony one of these days.

    Thought that was quality.

    Did I hear something before about some sort of holograms they were going to use for their upcoming tour?

    That was excellent. Wonder how long it took the animators to get the lip and instrument syncing right.

    Um, they are De La Soul. Seems to be a colaboration as they have been on all their hits AFAIK.

    Just watched the clip... Pretty cool. Think they should make the music feel a bit more spontaneous (ie live) sounding.

    Its some sort of projection (notice how dark the stage is lit). Hologram technology wouldnt be able to cut it (yet)... Nice mixture of live people with the animated characters.

    Wonder how well a whole live show would work.

    Wasn't holograms, just a projection from the ceiling onto some flat screens.

    No, just on Feel Good Inc.
    Del the Funkey Homosapien on Clint Eastwood (Gorillaz, first single)
    Miho Hatori on 19-2000 (Gorillaz, second single)
    Shaun Ryder on Dare (Demon Days, last single)
    Bootie Brown (The Pharcyde) on Dirty Harry (Demon Days, current single)
    MF Doom on November Has Come (Demon Days, not released as single (yet))
    Roots Manuva on All Alone (Demon Days, not released as single (yet))

    It's a bit of a pain the way they never list the featuring artists on their albums.

    I know that they say it is not holographic, but it really is depending on your definition of hologram. My definition is that a hologram is 3D projected image. A true hologram uses lasers. Mono holographics are expensive but colour holography is even more expensive due to the expense of blue lasers. The Victorian mirror trick produces 3D-like projections and I would class them as holograms as they appear 3D. Remember holograms can also be those nice looking stickers on your credit card or Windwoes CDs.
