Blur - Music Is My Radar 2000: just a year later, 13 releases new EPs and their first best of (the one with the iconic cover by Opie featuring their portraits): Coxon will release his second solo album the same year, and Albarn is working on a very special project involving a group of cartoon characters that he will call Gorillaz. The feeling is that they are experiencing a fundamental transition between an initial period where they gave everything they could and even a little more, and another one that will begin at an uncertain time. In the meantime, the single released (the only new track on the best of) is something truly strange and hard to define. Probably "experimentation" is the key word to associate with what they have been doing for quite some time now, and the point is that they are continuously raising the bar higher and higher. "A heavy cruiser free to roam without routes," the music critics wrote to define Blur in 2000 #blur30
