Murdoc has already done this. It's called "Plastic Beach". He's written a whole damn album about it and been living there for some time now. http://gorillaz.com/ http://gorillaz.com/g-player/audio/plastic-beach

The Gorillaz. I'm not so sure I like the music as much as I've liked other material, but there are some very innovative things about this effort. It is a "virtual" band, which means that the artists who write/perform the group's music can be as varied as the music itself. The site itself is entirely flash-based, but it's creative. The videos are available in the Cinema, which you can easily get to by using the directory on the wall.

Second, it's accompanied by some of the more artistic videos I've seen in a long time. When music videos first hit the scene, there was a conscious effort to actually produce something creative. For quite a while now it's been mostly the same tired crap, a formula re-worked, and re-worked, and re-worked...I'd had enough of it a long time ago. The only thing I do not like about the videos on the Gorillaz website is that they're only available in RealPlayer or Windows Media Player formats.

You can actually watch the entire video for Feel Good Inc. on the Gorillaz Fans website right now. Damn, I'm excited for this album. I've been waiting four years for the follow-up to the first Gorillaz album. I can assure you, though, that I'll be buying it on CD so that I can rip it into whatever format I please, though.

Now I have to spend another 99, just to get the videos. Was looking at the Gorillaz website store trying to decide if I should get the DVD video disk. Probably cheaper than whatever £12.99 works out to in US dollars. (that's, $24.47 according to dashboard's conversion widget).

It's doesn't include the video for Feel Good Inc itself. Oh well. Still the videos are pretty funny.

I watched all three (3) video trailers at your link and I have three (3) comments:

a. That's not video scratching.
b. Gorillaz called; they want their schtick back.
c. It kinda sucks, even for that genre.

And there are even a few virtual bands/artists (Gorillaz comes to mind) that live in records and music videos, but no where else.

I hang my head in shame.
Much like the men here and here
