Celebrity Take Down was the first full length DVD release from the Gorillaz. Full commentary on this release appears elsewhere - this entry is concerned with the exclusive Gorillaz audio available on the DVD. First we have the intro music which plays when you start playing the DVD. This is unmistakeably a Gorillaz track, but it appears to be curtailed and also features a host of annoying atmospheric sound effects over the top. Secondly the Gorilla Bites (short animated clips of the Gorillaz) feature background music which also sounds like Gorillaz music (it is possible that Zombie Flesh Eaters may have got external musicians to contribute this musical content but this is not credited and also is unlikely given the close association of Gorillaz to the project). This background music of course has the Gorilla Bite dialogue over the top and so is hard to enjoy on its own merits. All of the music appears to come from the same track,aside from the incidental tibetan chanting on the 'Free Tibet' Gorilla Bite and the incidental 'oriental sounding' music at the beginning of the 'Game Of Death' Gorilla Bite (which may be another Gorillaz composition), although the background music in The Eel Gorilla bite sounds slightly remixed, although certainly the same track. The prominent track is denoted 'Gorilla Bite Music' below. In addition the DVD contains two live tracks, Clint Eastwood live at the Brits and a live version of Clint Eastwood with a Mandarin rap.
