Film Trailer Music

Film Trailer Music is a fully-instrumental song from Phase 2 and the second bonus track in the Japanese version of Gorillaz' 2007 album D-Sides. The song starts with a jaunty piano line and mainly consists of distorted synths and synth basses along with a clanging drum machine loop, slowing speeding up towards the end.

Recording and Information
The song was originally planned to be in the trailer for the documentary "Bananaz". According to Jamie Hewlett, on an interview: "We put together a trailer for "Bananaz" (the Gorillaz documentary) here at Zombie Flesh Eaters. I wanted to be like the original trailer for "A Clockwork Orange" where things flash up quickly. "Film Trailer Music" is the music that Damon Albarn came up with for the "Bananaz" trailer. But in the end, HanWay films decided to use a different trailer for general release". The song was then later included on D-Sides as an extra track exclusive to the Japanese version of it, alongside "Samba At 13", but became a much rarer track due to the other having its own video on the Gorillaz' official YouTube channel and for not being officially available on any music steaming service.

Damon wanted to make the song to be a tribute to the soundtrack for the movie, by recreating the vibe of the film's soundtrack by Wendy Carlos. This would not be the first time he has attempted to satirize the film, as the music video for Blur's song "The Universal" parodies the intro scene of the movie.

Trivia

 * As mentioned by Jamie, the trailer was meant to be a parody of the surreal movie "A Clockwork Orange".
 * It is the shortest track on D-Sides, with a length of only 1:44, and the last Phase 2 song ever recorded.
