Amorphous Androgynous On The Album They Recorded With Noel Gallagher

British production duo Amorphous Androgynous have revealed their side of what happened to the album they recorded with Noel Gallagher, and say the former Oasis man missed out on what could have been "the most exciting moment in modern fucking music history".

Gallagher's collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous was announced in tandem with his debut album proper, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', at his 2011 press conference. The record wasn't released and Gallagher recently told NME it will "never see the light of day" because "the mixes weren't right" and he just "couldn't be arsed" to put out another record.

Speaking exclusively in the new issue of NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally, Amorphous Androgynous's Gaz Cobain revealed that the duo had no idea Gallagher was working on two records simultaneously, and only discovered that he'd recorded another, more traditional album with producer Dave Sardy when it was announced at the press conference. "At that point," said Cobain, "we knew our record was fucked."

Cobain said suspicions were raised when Gallagher was absent from the recording sessions, having supplied the duo with a bunch of demo recordings. "There had to be an artistic process where we would all be expressing opinions and getting deep down and dirty with each other, and that essentially is where this record went wrong," Cobain said. "Noel gave us all the power and we conducted most of those two years in absolute isolation. I don’t think he wanted to fully interface with the craziness of our music."

He added: "You’re looking at a two-year process here – thousands of hours of our time. At no point was our record supposed to be a remix album or a companion piece… For us, this had the potential to be the most exciting moment in modern fucking music history. This was his solo album; this was the idea that Noel had held back in Oasis. He'd name-checked 'Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble', krautrock and worked with The Chemical Brothers. Now was his moment of freedom; his moment of revolution."

In spite of the experience, Cobain said he holds no ill feeling toward Gallagher, and said they get on "totally well". Two tracks from the sessions have made their way on to Gallagher's forthcoming 'Chasing Yesterday' album.

Amorphous Androgynous release the third installment of their 'A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble' compilation/remix series, 'A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble (Exploding In Your Mind) - The Wizards Of Oz' on March 16. It features Pond and Tame Impala alongside a wealth of little-known psychedelic artists past and present from Australia and New Zealand.

Carl Barat Wants Noel Gallagher To Produce The New Libertines Album

Carl Barat has announced he wants Noel Gallagher to produce the next Libertines' album, stating, "I'd love to work with him".

In the new issue of NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally, Barât explains why he wants the Mancunian to work on the record - which he says will probably be recorded in April. "I'm going to email Noel Gallagher. I know he's really busy, but hopefully he's got a bit of time for the Libertines who love him so," he says.

Barât reveals that Gallagher has already expressed an interest in taking on the role, adding: "Noel's Noel, isn't he? I'd love to work with him. He's hilarious, but he has such clarity of vision as well. That's something the Libertines could certainly use."

The Libertines' long awaited new record is expected to be released later this year. It follows a series of high profile reunion gigs from the band in 2014, including a sold-out date in London's Hyde Park and three nights at Alexandra Palace. Barat recently said that songs he and Doherty had already written for the album were "surprisingly upbeat".

Pete Doherty has confirmed to NME that The Libertines will be recording their first album in 11 years at Karma Studios in Thailand. The band released a short video in December that showed them signing a record deal with Virgin/EMI in Thailand in lieu of the release. They have since been confirmed as the first headliners for T In The Park 2015.

Meanwhile, Pete Doherty will play two solo live shows at London's Brixton Jamm on February 22.

Noel Gallagher Has Branded New Music Bland

WE’RE LIVING IN “SAVAGE” times, reckons Noel Gallagher, but the ex-Oasis star says you’d be hard pushed to hear that reflected by the current crop of British singer-songwriters.

Speaking to MOJO, Gallagher has branded new music “bland”, arguing that, unlike previous generations, new artists make no effort to reflect the mood of the era in their songs.

“What has become apparent to me is that we live in ridiculous f***ing times now,” he suggests. “The music that’s being made now is so f***ing bland. It’s nice and kind of meaningless and then you turn on the television and the news is so savage! The music doesn’t reflect the times at all.

“I hear Radio 1 in the morning when the kids are up and going to school and it’s just bland, meaningless, mindless pop music and then the news is: ‘The World Is Going To End!’ What’s going on? The music of George Ezra: Wow!”

Gallagher, who headlines this summer’s Calling Festival in London on July 4, suggested that part of the problem was that the latest crop of musicians are no longer interested in being in bands and instead are drawn into introspective solo careers.

“I was talking to a mate recently who’s been in various bands and I was asking what he was doing and he was saying, ‘I’m trying to do my own stuff now.’ I said, ‘You should be in a band, you look great,’ and he said, ‘Nobody wants to be in bands any more, everybody wants to be a singer-songwriter.’ That’s his generation. Everyone wants to be Jake Bugg or George Ezra. The band thing is dying out,” claims the guitarist.

However Gallagher has sympathy for the current generation, believing the country’s declining musical infrastructure is forcing artists to go solo rather than form groups.

“I blame it on the lack of rehearsal rooms and the lack of little tiny studios because it’s easier for a guy to sit at home with a tape recorder and send it to a record company than it is for a band,” he says.

“Back in my day, we used to go down the rehearsal room when it was 20 quid a night, or whatever it was, and you bash it out. Everybody’s got a home recording studio on their iPhone now. All the cheap studios and venues are going to go soon. You’re going to either be stuck at the bottom in [London pub venue] the Boston Arms or you’re going to be catapulted to the top at The O2 and there will be nothing in between.”

Noel Gallagher Is Voting For 'A Stupid Party' Because 'Labour Are Worse Than Tories

Noel Gallagher has revealed he will be voting for a “stupid” party at the general election in May.

It’s a departure from his Labour voting ways when the 47-year-old famously backed Tony Blair in the 1997 election.

Noel, who was out with wife Sara MacDonald , tells us: “I’m not going to f****** vote in the election because they are all useless. David Cameron has no clue about what he’s talking about. Sometimes I think Labour are worse because I believed in them before in 1997.

“I’m just going to vote for someone who I have no idea about, some raving crazy party.”

Comedian Russell Brand, 39, would have been ideal if he had decided to run.

Noel Gallagher Pledges Support For Greenock Charity Gig

Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher has pledged support for a charity gig in Greenock.

The singer-songwriter handed over a signed Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds CD to be auctioned.

Greenock organiser Michael Scott is the brains behind next month’s gig, which is headlined by The Complete Stone Roses and is in aid of Ardgowan Hospice.

He contacted the musician’s management team and other top bands and has been delighted at the response.

Michael said: “A massive thank-you to Noel Gallagher and his manager for sending this.

“I’m a huge fan of Noel’s — I might have to auction it for myself!”

Other items include signed CDs from James and souvenirs from The Libertines.

He said: “They all think it’s amazing that I’m organising such a big event. Some of them have had family members cared for at a hospice.”

Michael also managed to secure a signed CD from indie rockers The Charlatans after meeting them last month.

He said: “They’re a cracking bunch of guys.”

Tickets have been selling fast for the gig, which is being held at Greenock Town Hall on Saturday 21 March.

Michael said: “The concert is nearly sold out after increasing the capacity.

“We are also trying to arrange a big after-party as well.”

Michael wants to raise as much as he can for a charity which is close to his heart.

He said: “I’ve had family and friends who have been looked after in the hospice.”

The Soviets are one of the support bands and tickets cost £17.50.

Noel Gallagher Says Paul Weller Was 'Insane' When He Drank

Noel Gallagher thought Paul Weller was ''bordering on insane'' when he used to drink.

The former Oasis star - who was recently offered a lifetime supply of Tennent's Lager - is glad his longtime friend became teetotal more than four years ago because he was growing concerned about his pal's alcohol consumption.

He said: ''Weller's all the better for being teetotal. He used to like a drink and an argument and there were times when it was bordering on the insane.''

While the 47-year-old singer is pleased Paul has ditched the drink, the star perhaps wouldn't mind if the singer/songwriter stopped driving after he feared for his life the last time he was in a car with him.

Noel - who cannot drive - added to Q magazine: ''I wouldn't say Weller's a bad driver ... But the last time I was in a car with him, he was driving, smoking, talking on his mobile and calling a cyclist a ****, all at the same time.

''I was looking out the window thinking, 'F***ing hell!' Mind you, what a way to go - killed in a car crash with Paul Weller.''

Gallery: Noel Gallagher Can't Keep His Hands Off Wife Sara At The BAFTAs

Noel Gallagher couldn't keep his hands off his wife Sara MacDonald as they graced the BAFTAs red carpet.

The former Oasis guitarist pretended to grab a cheeky handful of his wife's behind as they posed for the cameras.

It's not quite to red carpet performance we're used to, but Noel was bound to do things his own way.

The musician played up to the crowds as he joined celebs at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden.

Noel was dressed in a rather casual ensemble of a khaki blazer with a white shirt and dark trousers.

Meanwhile, his gorgeous missus looked stunning in a plunging black dress with floral pattern.

She completed her look with a black and white clutch bag.

Yet Another Review: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds In London

You can’t accuse Noel Gallagher of false promises. “I’m not doing an encore,” he announced, “because to be honest with you I’m off to see Prince and he’s on in ten minutes.” The purple superstar was indeed performing a small semi-secret show on the same night that Gallagher was doing his own, but while Prince was staging a star-studded charity bash Gallagher was doing a gig above a pub that harked back to the early days of Oasis.

Stage production stretched to a black cotton banner with the initials for Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds chalked in white. A crowd of men with mod-tinged feather-cut hair threw plastic beer glasses at each other. There was excitement in the air that few could reasonably have expected from a solo gig by Gallagher, who walked out of Oasis in 2009 after brother Liam threw a plum at his head.

There are differences, though. Oasis specialised in brutal rock’n’roll in which anything vaguely esoteric was stamped on, but Chasing Yesterday, Gallagher’s forthcoming second solo album has touches of cosmic jazz. It’s cosmic in the sense of a beer-drinking beat band getting out the kipper ties and adding an organ solo, but the difference is there. In 2011 Gallagher made an album with the psychedelic production duo Amorphous Androgynous and although it was shelved the influence remains.

The concert began with (It’s Good) to be Free, an Oasis B-side from 1994, which was so exciting for the 40-year-old mods in the audience that they had no choice but to get up on each other’s shoulders and sway from side to side. From then on solo material dominated and with it Gallagher proved that he’s drawing from a wider palette than before. On Riverman, one of the best songs on Chasing Yesterday, there was a saxophone solo. Back in the glory years of Oasis even listening to a saxophone was a sackable offence.

Gallagher expressed surprise that a man in the audience knew all the words to Riverman before realising that the man worked in his office. In the main the concert stuck to the kind of emotional rock’n’roll for which Gallagher has such a knack, with the biggest singalong of the night saved for the Oasis classic Don’t Look Back in Anger. It’s an anthem with lots of feeling and no sense whatsoever, making it a perfect accompaniment to the sloppy sentimentality of drunkenness. Then, just as he promised, Gallagher took off to see Prince.

Listen To The Official Remix Of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 'Ballard Of The Mighty I'

The Erol Alkan and Richard Norris project has remixed the second single from Noel Gallagher’s forthcoming album.

First it was Andrew Weatherall adding his hypnotic touch to Noel’s ‘In The Heat of the Moment’, now ‘The Ballad Of The Mighty I’ gets a psychedelic makeover from Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve, streaming below.

Noel has always been vocal about his love of psychedelia, so the Erol Alkan and Richard Norris project is a perfect choice to remix the closer from the Chasing Yesterday album, due on March 2. As you’d expect from the duo responsible for those sublime “re-animations” of Midlake, Franz Ferdinand and Interpol over the years, their take on Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds dials back the modern feel of the original for something imbued with a few more ’70s psych-rock trappings.

Tabloid Alert: Liam Gallagher's Looking 'Up In The Sky'

The former Oasis star has given up rock ’n’ roll for astronomy, and has bought himself a new hi-tech Celestron telescope.

An insider told us: “Liam’s always been interested in outer space and believes in other worlds.

“He’s been out in his back garden at night with his new telescope and even sets up on Hampstead Heath to get a better view.”

And it seems the rocker’s interest in astronomy began when he visited The Planetarium in Greenwich.

“Liam was fascinated by the place. He saw images of spacecraft and learnt how to land on Mars in the Royal Observatory.”

But if Liam, 42, ever discovered aliens on another planet, it wouldn't scare him because he reckons he’s ‘as smart’ as them.

The singer said: “Of course I believe in aliens. “I'm not frightened by them though. “Probably thick as f*** aren’t they? “Big googly-eyed bigheaded men.

They haven’t got a f***ing clue. “If they did they would come out and sort us out.”

On This Day In Oasis History...

"Go Let It Out" is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher.

It was released on February 7th 2000 as the first single from the fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The song peaked at #1 in the UK charts where it went Silver.

The lyrics are a similar vein to "Roll With It" in that it encourages the listener to get on with their life without being specific about how this is to be achieved. The song samples the drums from Johnny Jenkins' version of Dr John's "I Walk on Gilded Splinters". The title may be a reference to the line in "Hey Jude" by The Beatles, "So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin". Noel described the song as "the closest we came to sounding like a modern day Beatles" in the 'Lock the Box' interview found on the DVD in the special edition of Stop the Clocks.

The song, along with B-side "(As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes in Hell", also embodies the psychedelic feel which the band experimented with on the album. It couples this with an acoustic guitar chord sequence. "Let's All Make Believe", the second B-Side is considered by many to be one of the best Oasis B-sides. Some people believe the lyrics of this song to relate to the cracks that began forming in the group at the time (see below), for example: "So let's all make believe/that we're still friends and we like each other."



















Due to the departure of guitarist Bonehead and bassist Guigsy in the early recording sessions for Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, the track features only Liam Gallagher (vocals), Noel Gallagher (rhythm guitar, bass guitar, lead guitar) and Alan White (drums).

Oasis were looking for replacements for founding members Bonehead and Guigsy and while Bonehead was quickly replaced with fellow Creation signing and former Heavy Stereo frontman Gem Archer, Guigsy proved harder to replace. Thus the trippy video for "Go Let It Out" had to be filmed with Noel on bass, Archer in Noel's role as lead guitarist and Liam in Archer's role as rhythm guitarist.



The b-side "Let's All Make Believe" has recently been included in several lists as a 'hidden gem', such as Q magazine placing it at number one on its list of '500 best lost tracks' and at 4 on its 'list of songs to download this month - January 2006.' Q magazine said in the description 'If Standing on the Shoulder of Giants had contained this track, it would have probably got another star'.

In the "lock the box" interview, Noel considers "Go Let It Out" to be "head and shoulders" above any other songs he had written during this time, and its "up there with some of the best things I've ever done."

"Go Let It Out" is included on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks, and is the only song from Standing on the Shoulder of Giants on that album.
