A Lot To Dig On New Oasis Album 'Dig Out Your Soul'

British supergroup Oasis returns to the fold next month with their seventh studio album, which will appear in record stores on October 7th. If one song sums up the solid effort it is the second track of the album, written by Noel Gallagher, entitled 'The Turning'. The mid-paced song's lyrics proclaim that they are "Mining a dream for the same old song".

The Gallagher brothers and company have a far different approach this time out, which is their freshest sounding album since their heralded debut album - 'Definitely Maybe - which sent shock waves throughout the music world when it was released in 1994 but continues to play homage to their heroes in the past. The band clearly continue to wear their influences proudly on their sleeves borrowing from 'The Beatles', 'The Doors', and the solo work of John Lennon. The band throws nuggets of hits like 'Dear Prudence', 'Five to One', and 'Gimme Some Truth' while making their own compositions expand on those fine works.

Vocalist Liam Gallagher, the voice of an English generation of popular music, calls out in the opening track 'Bag it Up' that "Everything that I believe in tells me that I want more". Fans of the band get that and more on the album. 'The Turning' starts as a delicate piano piece before a guitar solo takes it a new level, while a 50 piece choir helps brings the piece to a close.

Liam's older brother Noel gets his first chance to sing on the third track, 'Waiting for the Rapture', which starts with the familiar beat of 'Five to One' by the 'Doors'. Noel proclaims his love for his longtime girlfriend in the piece and displays a vocal style that he hasn't been heard from in his 14 years in the music business. The next track on the album is single 'The Shock of the Lightning'.

This is the first return to the Oasis that we have came to know from their many years in the spotlight. The new single is their most successful in the United States, in terms of chart placement, since 1997's 'D'you Know What Mean' which was the lead single off their last platinum album effort stateside. The next track is the bands obligatory ode to late Beatle John Lennon, penned by Liam, and entitled 'Out of Time'. 'Out of Time' sounds eerily similar to Lennon, even featuring the late songwriter in an interview clip, and wouldn't sound out of place on Lennon's 'Imagine' or 'Double Fantasy' albums. When Yoko Ono, a known admirer of the Gallagher brothers, hears the track it will likely bring a tear to her eye and she will likely be proud of Liam's most solid songwriting effort to date.

Noel again takes the reins on '(Get of Your) High Horse Lady)' which sounds like a bluesy take on Paul McCartney's 'The Beatles (White Album)' track 'Rocky Racoon'. Think 'Rocky Racoon' meets something you may hear off 'The Rolling Stones' epic 'Exile on Main Street' for this number. It again sounds nothing like Oasis has ever attempted and truly works to break up the first half of the album. Noel starts off the second half of the album by singing 'Falling Down' which, much like Liam sung 'Shock of the Lightning', goes back the 90's Oasis bag of tricks, by employing the "drone-rock" that the songwriter experimented with the band 'Chemical Brothers' in the mid-nineties. '(Get of Your) High Horse Lady)' and 'Falling Down' truly show Noel's diversity and are starkly different but somehow manage to "work" back to back on the albums release.

Gem Archer, who has been with the band since 1999, has the honors of writing the next number on the album. Archer channels his inner-George Harrison by employing a sitar on 'To Be Where There's Life'. The track has a gritty Liam Gallagher vocal, a mean bass line, a sitar, and bravely forgoes the use of a guitar. Liam once again gets to provide another tune, and again opts to go for some solo Lennon styled music. Liam, who has stated that he felt Lennon's spirit enter him before a gig in Manchester in 1996, mines the aggressive Lennon number 'Gimme Some Truth' for the track entitled 'Ain't Got Nothing' which tells a story of a massive punch up in Germany which saw the bands frontman lose his two front teeth. The album closes with two more Lennon sounding pieces with bassist Andy Bell providing the band 'Nature of Reality' and Liam's 'Solider On' which works well as a closing track.

Will Oasis silence naysayers with their latest release? If it has taken 14 years and you still haven't 'Dug Out Your Soul' for the band you will probably never "get" the Gallagher brothers. But if you have been waiting since 1995 for the band to follow up on their most commercially successfully album '(Whats the Story) Morning Glory', this is the album that you may want to pick up as it introduces new sounds while still maintaining the greatness that is Oasis.

Oasis Are £1m Manchester City Gig Target

Oasis have been placed at the centre of Manchester City’s masterplan to be the world’s biggest club.

City’s new owners want to launch their new era with a huge party in the City of Manchester stadium next summer — with Oasis topping the bill.

The Abu Dhabi United Group — who bought the club for £220million this month — will pay whatever it takes, so the lads are in line for a £1million windfall.

The idea came up after the new team in charge of the club asked current worker to help them draw up a blueprint for the brand.

They also suggested the rockers could re-record club theme Blue Moon for the team to run out to at home games.

An insider revealed: “Employees who know the club inside out were asked to put forward suggestions.

“The owners want to ally themselves with strong brands and see Oasis as playing a vital role helping to move the club forward very quickly.

“They hope to use the Gallaghers — the club’s most famous fans — to improve the brand and relationship with fans.

“Acts such as Oasis don’t come cheap — but obviously that isn’t an issue.”

How Oasis Paid My Rent

When the band asked busker Theo Eastwind to perform songs from their new album, he couldn't really say no

Last week, I met Oasis to help them preview their forthcoming album, Dig Out Your Soul. I rehearsed some of the songs from the new album with some other street artists and then we all went out to perform them on the subway.

I used to play "Wonderwall" around the New York subways between 1995 and 1998. It was new at the time and everyone else was going down the classic rock route, "Stairway to Heaven" and what have you. My whole set revolved around when I was going to play "Wonderwall" – that song paid my rent.

I've been in New York for 13 years. My job fell through when I arrived here and I didn't want to go back home to Austria. The day before my plane ticket ran out I had $3.75 to my name. I sat there all night looking at that ticket. I eventually decided to stay and keep playing and I've been busking ever since. I'm so glad I made that decision. I've won the Williamsburg Live Songwriter Competition, the only decent songwriting competition in Brooklyn. I'm proud to be a busker.

Then out of the blue last week, at the behest of the band, someone asked me to play songs from the new Oasis album in the subway for $100. I wasn't sure. I mean, $100 is not really enough for me to learn someone else's songs. But then I remembered all the good things about "Wonderwall": I got gigs at weddings and parties playing that song. I thought it would be great to meet them and thank them for writing it. So I did. I met Liam and thanked him for writing "Wonderwall" – but Liam didn't write it. I wish he'd just said, "Thank you," as opposed to saying, "I didn't write it," but I thanked him like a dumb ass anyway. I guess I should have made it clearer that I was really thanking the whole band.

That said, Liam was extremely nice. I liked his Manchester accent. He listened to my version of "The Turning" with Andy (Bell, bassist) and Gem (Archer, guitar) and they all loved it. Liam said, "You'll do!" I told him that was the best compliment I've had in years. Gem and Andy were really nice, too, and it was interesting to get to see the dynamics of the group. It's a rock band and you expect them to be a bit, well, oblivious to reality, but Andy and Gem seem "hand-picked" for Oasis – very patient and very calm. I think you'd have to be when you're hanging out with Liam and Noel all day. They listen, but Liam doesn't. He just talks, and he'd obviously already had a couple of drinks. But it was awesome to meet him. He had his sunglasses on so there wasn't a human connection, it was more like a "same time, same place" connection. We all went on the roof and he told me that he used to play Christmas carols in the subways in Manchester. I told him I never played carols, that I always refuse to play the songs that everyone else plays. He said, "But I did that!" and I said, "Well, you sold out!" He said "Yeah! I sold out early!" and we had a good laugh. I enjoyed myself thoroughly – it's not every day you meet an icon of modern society. Oasis have been around, they're kind of the bootleg Beatles.

I only played one of their new songs, "The Turning" – they were only paying a hundred bucks. Some of my friends played four songs but I'm more of a focused performer. I do one song and I do it well. We were supposed to do four songs and wing it. I thought, "I'm going to do one song and make it a killer." My version is really interesting, it kills you. I only had a couple of hours to practise, which is not long at all. I did brush through the other songs but "The Turning" was the one. I thought it had the most potential to be another hit.

I listened to the new album and I don't think it's got another "Wonderwall" on it, but that's just my opinion. It grows on you. It's not one of those albums that when you play it, you love it right from the top and then you listen to it five or six times and you're done with it. If you don't like Oasis or you're not a fan, then it's another Beatles rip-off. But I listened to it, and I listened to it about 10 times, and what I loved about it is that you discover all these new things every time you give it another go. It's definitely one of their better albums. Andy and Gem both wrote a song for the album, too. It's a very cool, well-crafted album and it has a great sound. The vocals are great, as are the lyrics – well, I would stay away from the word "rapture" in any of my songs (for me that's a no-no), but they use it on "The Turning". "(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady" is a very simple jam that you'd really enjoy singing to yourself down the street. It's a cool song, a bluesy little jam. I also like "The Shock of the Lightning" but I actually think I preferred my friend Dagmar's [a fellow street artist] version to Noel's.

When we played the tracks, there was a huge crowd and they were really positive. Gem and Andy definitely had a real respect for what I do after they heard me play my version of "The Turning". Before I played for them I was just another dude, but after I finished, they came over and we had a chat. Gem offered me tickets to see them at Madison Square Garden, but I don't think it will happen – it would spoil the experience.
