Data Insight

Ten of the twelve tracks carry him and only two are his alone. It is the album where he plays more and samples less, and the writing spreads further than ever: guests, co-writers and cover versions all take credits. Nothing has followed it in twenty-two years.

Palookaville came out on Skint in October 2004 and is certified silver by the BPI. It moves away from sampling towards live playing, and Damon Albarn sings on one track.
