(From 8bc)
As some of you may know, the virtual pop- band Gorillaz released their third full length album in march 2010. I have of course listen trough the album, but as with their previous album "Demon Days" I were quite disappointed. You see; Gorillaz's self- titled debut album from 2001, was the first "real" music album I bought. I was eight years old at the time and have loved it ever since. The reason of my disappointment after listening to Demon Days and now Plastic Beach is the lack of the dubby- pop sound (Starshine, Soundcheck (Gravity), Tomorrow comes today, etc.) that I fell in love with in 2001.
So to the question: does anyone know of any bands/artists who plays/makes this kind of pop- dub- electronica, similar to the sound of Gorillaz's first album?
google trip hop.
look up Blur while you're at it (don't care for them)
and..WAIT close this thread!
listen to stuff produced by dan the automator then (since he produced the first gorillaz record) 
dr. octagon "dr octagynecologist", deltron 3030, dan the automator's "a much better tommorrow", lovage "songs to make love to your old lady by"

oh man...Lovage... 
you might like older DJ Shadow, the new stuff isn't as good in my opinion. check out the songs Organ Donor and High Noon

Thanks for the response! I will check out these artists.
big shout for Deltron 3030, that lp was like Gorillaz before Gorillaz. Plus it has Kid Koala doing DJ work, he's my (and my mums) favorite DJ.

kid koala rules, especially live..hes also part of lovage, the whole group wore sleep attire live, in his case footie pajamas
del the funkee homosapien, deltron 3030, is a bit later in his career, if you liked clint eastwood and rock the house, those were both rapped by del, this being a chip music site, might i suggest "proto culture" by the homosapien himself. A 90's fakebit rap about videogames, surely looked over by "the scene"
2001 gorillaz = decent.
anything later sux.

even though 3030 is badass....it was slightly later, and way better.
also K-K-K-K-KID KOALA was the best live dj i have ever seen by far...and he was opening for cut chemist n DJ shadow

im jealous you saw cut chemist and dj shadow, and im rarely one of the guys saying that

the reason i recommended 3030 was that it shared an MC and the producer from the first album, so it sounds way more like the first gorillaz album than del's other stuff
Might want to try and look up other trip hop stuff as well. Off the top of my head I suggest Portishead, FlyKiller, Massive Attack, Tricky, etc.

I very very much second Portishead and Massive Attack. Go for the albums Dummy and Collected respectively.
Beck?
