Main article: Journey to the West (album). A CD based on the opera was released in August 2008. Because Albarn felt that stage performances "always sound false on record", he decided to revisit his original ideas for the music and create new arrangements of the key songs from the opera.

As if to underline his diverse interests, he now turns his attention to Chinese theatre. Monkey: Journey to the West is a theatrical collaboration between Albarn (music), Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz fame (designs, costumes) and Chinese opera specialist Chen Shi-Zheng. The show itself is an explosive 90-minute circus featuring Chinese acrobats, martial arts experts and contortionists, though the album condenses the experience into 22 songs lasting an hour or so. Recorded in London and Beijing with a mix of European and Chinese musicians, Monkey. is a genuine attempt at East-West fusion.

It was also used in the Jamie Hewlett animated promo for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Composed by Damon Albarn. Published By Chrysalis Music Ltd. Mastered by John Davis. Live Recording Supervision Mike Smith. Musical Director David Coulter.
