That was really good. See, Noel, it's possible to be excited about your current direction without also expression contempt for anyone who likes the old records.
Also I'm glad he still thinks about X-Ray Eyes.

Great interview, as usual with Jeff Slate. Jeff, if you are still around here, anything interesting that didn't make the cut for the interview ?

Jeff always asks good questions and gets Noel to open up. Shocked to read that Noel wants to work with Brian Eno. He talked so much shit about him 10-15 years ago. Id be down for it. Totally.

He must have opened his mind up about him, god knows he's a big Bowie and U2 fan so finally seen one of the reasons for their greatness. But more interestingly states that Oasis 'came close' to hiring Rick Rubin. He would have, I presume, done the same kind of job as Dave Sardy - but just not be shit. And Rick Rubin would have probably told them to fuck off with some of their terrible song selections. He’d practically force them to use their best songs (probably meaning a full album of Noel tunes again).

I would think the Rubin idea was around late 2003, early 2004 when DIV failed and Noel’s sessions proved tame.

In a parallel universe the Rick Rubin produced Don’t Believe The Truth double album is considered to be Oasis’s magnum opus, eclipsing even Morning Glory with its popularity and influence.
In that universe the human race was wiped out by a nuclear war 2 weeks before the album was released, so it is only appreciated by highly evolved cockroaches though... so, swings and roundabouts.

X I wouldnt want to live(or not) in a world without stadium arcadium. Now that was a double album for the ages.

I would really love to see Noel work with a major producer again like Brian Eno. Inevitably, it would yield interesting results. The sparseness of the 'Wednesday' interludes on Who Built The Moon suggest a more Eno-esque ethereal take that could be fleshed (although it's a stereotype to think he can only produce that kind of music) and isn't that sample immediately before If Love Is The Law taken from an Eno album (this may have been included at the behest of Holmes)?
The David Holmes collaboration is just incredible in my opinion and while there's a couple of gems from these collection of EPs, I just feel they are lacking that spark that made Who Built The Moon seem more energetic and effortless.
Another major producer or another album with Holmes doesn't have to be about recreating Who Built The Moon either. I appreciate that album isn't to everyone's tastes but it does signify a more ambitious sound that Noel really should pursue in other ways. It would be great if he went into the studio with an accomplished producer with a concept of some sort. Not a narrative concept but a musical one, something like creating imaginary songs for films that goes for a big cinematic sound. Using The Man Who Built The Moon is an ideal example, something that sounds epic and conveys strong imagery. Holmes would actually be perfect for this given his experience as a film composer.
*(I also realise Eno did this with U2 but that Passengers album is more impressionistic and sketchy than cinematic).

I dig U2 a lot. Especially everything up until 2003ish. However, I’m not a fan of Passenger. That album had 2-3 tracks worth anyone’s time. Slug being the highlight.

I agree, far too sketchy and ‘unfinished’ to be taken seriously but a worthwhile experiment if you see it as a bonus in the U2 canon. But yeah, a handful of great tunes that should have formed the basis of a full album. I wouldn’t use it as a template for Noel, I’m thinking something more big budget, cinematic and epic for him.
