5. The musician/producer Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) of
Gnarls Barkley. Appropriately, one of his albums called
‘Rome’ from 2004, is an homage to the classic spaghetti
Western film soundtracks of Ennio Morricone. The record
is a collaboration with Italian composer Daniele Luppi and
features contributions from Norah Jones and Jack White.
Amazingly, the project also involved the resuscitation of a
number of the septuagenarian musicians who had worked
on the original soundtracks of movies like The Good, The
Bad, and the Ugly, and Once Upon a Time in the West. The
remix album, originally created just for his friends, spread
over the Internet and became very popular with both the
general audience and critics, with Rolling Stone calling it
the ultimate remix record

8. The Grey Album is a mashup album by Danger Mouse,
released in 2004. It mixes an a cappella version of
rapper Jay-Z's The Black Album with samples from The
Beatles' LP The Beatles, commonly known as "The White
Album". The Grey Album gained notoriety
when EMI attempted to halt its distribution despite
approval of the project from Jay-Z and the two surviving
Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The use of
sampling from The Beatles’ The Beatles combined with Jay-
Z lyrics showed off his talents and made a hybrid music
category. Hip-Hop/Rock.

10. While it's a clear enough story, the music that Gnarls
Barkley makes is more prickly and diverges from anything
that Cee-Lo or Danger Mouse have created in their
previous endeavours . And though it references nearly
everything, it has no real precedent. Is it amoral gospel
music, cinematic soul steeped in idiosyncratic
underground hip-hop or left-field indie rock with a drum
machine and a basketball fixation? Their debut, 2006'sSt.
Elsewhere , is goofy and slippery, falling in the conceptual
lineage of other imaginary hip-hop groups such as the
aforementioned Gorillaz or Dr. Octagon. It's smooth and
soulful, mimicking some the stylistic expeditions taken by
Outkast on The Love Below . And finally, it's a mess:
disorganized and brilliant; ambitious and nostalgic. Enjoy
the music and the mystery.
