Oasis' 'The Masterplan' Exclusive Formats And More Are Available To Pre-Order Now

Featuring remastered audio, taken from the ‘Chasing The Sun’ reissues - available for the first time as one collection -  ‘The Masterplan’ is an extraordinary collection of B-sides originally featured on singles from Oasis’ era-defining first three albums, ‘Definitely Maybe’ (1994), ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ (1995), and ‘Be Here Now’ (1997).

The album includes tracks ‘Acquiesce’, ‘Half The World Away’, ‘Talk Tonight’, Oasis’ iconic live cover of The Beatles’ ‘I Am The Walrus’ and the epic title track. Noel has often described ‘The Masterplan’ as one of the best songs he has ever written.

Champagne Supernova

CD - 663344 1

01: Champagne Supernova (Radio Edit)
02: Champagne Supernova (Album Version) 
03: Slide Away

 

Champagne Supernova is a song by Oasis. It was written by Noel Gallagher. The seven-minute anthem is the closing track on the record-breaking album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? Though only released as a single in Australia, France and the United States, a music video was released to the music channels and, as a result, the song received much television and radio airplay. The song achieved US success, becoming the band's second number one single on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

​

The song is a fan favourite, and has received widespread critical acclaim. This is despite the fact that Noel claimed in a 2005 interview that he has still not made up his mind as to what the song actually is about, though he thinks it might be about reincarnation.

​

In the music video, Liam bears a resemblance to John Lennon, wearing rose-colored glasses and a beard.

​

Although the song was a commercial success, it did take its criticism mainly to the line: "Where were you while we were getting high?"

​

In a radio interview for BBC, Noel said that rhythm guitarist Bonehead began crying when he heard the song because it was so beautiful. This story was backed up by Ian Robertson who claimed, in his book Oasis: What's The Story?, the first time Noel played the song to the rest of the band – an acoustic version on the tour bus – Bonehead did indeed cry.

​

Paul Weller, former frontman of The Jam and friend of Oasis, provided the lead guitar and some of the backing vocals on the track.

​

The song is included on Oasis' compilation album Stop The Clocks.

​

In May 2007, NME magazine placed Champagne Supernova at number thirty nine in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever.

​

Champagne Supernova was the first song to feature on the Video Vault of the 2008 revival of The Chart Show.

​

Alternative versions

​

An official remix of the song was produced by Brendan Lynch, and was issued on the b-side on a promo-only 12" of Oasis's cover of Cum On Feel The Noize. Known as the Lynchmob Beats Mix, this track has been reissued on promotional material for Oasis'album Stop The Clocks.

​

Live versions of the track were released on …There and Then, Familiar To Millions and Knebworth 1996.

​

Covers

​

Angie Aparo covered Champagne Supernova on the album The One With The Sun released 2003.

​

Ben Folds Five released a live cover of this song as a B-side of their single Battle Of Who Could Care Less. The performance, which took place in London, was introduced as a country song and performed in an exaggerated country-music style.

The song was covered by American band Matt Pond PA specifically for use on the hit TV show The OC.

​

90's dance act Urban Cookie Collective did a dance cover of this song but Noel Gallagher stopped them from releasing it as a single.

​

The Early November covers this song as the end of No Good At Saying Sorry (One More Chance) when played live.

​

Hootie & the Blowfish covered the song at their live shows during their 2007 and 2008 summer tours.

03: Falling Down (Amorphous Androgynous A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble

 

Release Date: March 6th 2009

Highest UK Singles Chart Position: 10

Falling Down is a song by English rock band Oasis, featured on their 2008 seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul. Written and sung by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher, it was released as the third single from the album on March 0th 2009, with the digital release occurring a day earlier.

The song debuted at number ten in the UK Singles Chart with first week sales of 21,448, but the song only achieved a chart position of number 37 in the UK download chart in the same week.

Falling Down posted a subtle improvement from its predecessor I'm Outta Time on the UK Singles Chart, reaching number ten in its chart entry week.

Falling Down is the only Oasis single, other than Sunday Morning Call, on which all songs are sung by Noel rather than Liam.

The intro of the song shares a similarity with The Doors' The Crystal Ship. The heavily compressed drum-rhythm and sense of disillusioned psychedelia bear a strong resemblance the Beatles song Tomorrow Never Knows, being cited as Noel's finest effort so far to emulate the atmosphere of that song.

An excerpt of the b-side song Those Swollen Hand Blues appears at the end of Mucky Fingers, second track of Oasis' 2005 album Don't Believe the Truth.

The lyric: "Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly" references the quotation: "Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" from Alexander Pope's Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot.

Alternate versions

Various alternative versions of the song have been produced: remixes by Marilyn Manson bassist Twiggy Ramirez and producer Dave Sardy – the "It's the Gibb" remix – and The Prodigy will be featured on the CD single and the second digital bundle; the A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble remix, by Amorphous Androgynous, will be released on the 12" vinyl and second digital bundle versions; and The Chemical Brothers remix previously featured as the B-side to The Shock Of The Lightning.

In his tour blog, Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere, Noel Gallagher described the twenty two minute A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble remix as "A staggering piece of music. Monumental even."

Music video

The video depicts a woman who is supposed to be part of the Royal Family who enjoys parties, one night stands and drugs. When she meets the band in the video, the members refuse to shake her hand because of the way she hides her party lifestyle. When the 'Princess' offers her hand to Noel Gallagher he is seen to say "Nah" and turns away in disdain. Prince Charles appears at the conclusion of the video.
