This week I listened back to heathen chemistry for the first time in years, here are a few thoughts Hindu Times - the rhythm of it reminds me of the rolling stones. Force of nature - would love to hear a Liam sung version of this but sadly it is out of his vocal range. Just would have lifted the song to the next level for me. Better man - loads of great riffs throughout this song. The drumming is different as there are two drummers I think (Alan and Noel) which makes it sound a bit like the drumming in instant karma by John Lennon where he did the same thing. Really like the chords in the outro, they sound like an alternate tuning.

I thought that CD:UK performance in 2002 was brilliant, one of the best moments of that era. Particularly like the bass playing, guitar solo and pace of that version of RNRS. Also I think it one of their best performances for TV and also ITV got the sound right.
I remember Iin 2002 they also did a session for TOTP on BBC and there were issues with the sound and mix of the band. I think the session didn't have the energy of the CD:UK session.
Shame during that era Noel and Gem didn't do an acoustic session with versions of LBL, SCYHO etc

Listen to this, fascinating stuff www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00r2361Steve Lamacq's joined by Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft as he assesses the legacy of the band's 1997 reunion LP Urban Hymns, which is our Classic Album of the Day. The Verve's 3rd LP remains one of the top 20 best selling British albums of all time and walked away with the Brit for Best Album and a nomination for the Mercury Prize. It also spawned the mammoth singles, Bitter Sweet Symphony, Sonnet, The Drugs Don't Work and Lucky Man.

I like the remixes by unkle. I would have liked to have seen UNKLE do some remixes at the time of DOYS, but I thought the prodigy and chemical brothers remixes were great

Really like what he does on Wonderwall and Supersonic. To be honest I like what he has added to all the songs

Wow many thanks for that, a great read. I remember the interview owen morris did for the official oasis magazine back in 1996/97 about the morning glory sessions, that was great too.

Just want to pass on my thanks to the uploader a big THANK YOU!!!!
Monobrow: thank you for your contributions, your posts are always make for balanced, interesting reading.
Like everyone else I would love to hear some different mixes of the BHN songs. The demo clips of AATW and DGA sound great.
Haven't listened to BHN in years. HITIK sounds brilliant, brings all the memories back! Remember sitting in a car on cold night while on holiday in 1997 listening to the radio of the steve lamacq show where he played half the album one night and then was not allowed to play the rest the next day due to the people at Ignition management!

I'd hope that they might end up doing a short acoustic radio session or something (Maybe something like the live lounge)... And I'd really hope we'd get Liam doing vocals... I'd guess if they did, they'd do five songs: Millionaire World Outside My Room Kill For A Dream Wind Up Dream The Roller And if it was Live Lounge, Across The Universe as a cover... Living in dream land, I'd want them to do Wonderwall or something, but it'll never happen Yes I agree. I'd like to see/hear them do an acoustic set at some point or just a couple of songs done acoustically. I think the following songs would work acoustically in their normal arrangements Millionnaire The Roller (With Piano and acousitc guitars) Wind up dream For Anyone (Bit obvious as its acoustic anyway!) I think they could somehow rework some other songs to work stripped down in a different style Kill for a dream Three ring circus the beat goes on

There was a piece written by the producer Owen Morris in the official magazine released in 1996 which included some interesting details from the album sessions

I thought the sessions they band did for BBC Radio 1, American Radio and the Abbey Road show were fine really good. I'm sure at least one of the gigs on the tour will be broadcast on TV/internet. Maybe they are waiting until a bit later in the tour to do it, when they have found out what works and what doesn't in the set list.
I'd like to hear Morning Sun live, from the youtube video it sounds good.

Stop The Clocks (Liam Vocal)
Jan 2003 Sawmills Studios, Cornwall Death In Vegas DBTT Album Sessions
2002 Musique Plus, MuchMusic Interview including Hindu Times acoustic (Full Version)
Mustique Island Demo Tape May 1996
1st October 1995 Virgin Megastore; Oxford Street, London, UK Short acoustic gig at midnight to promote the launch of the (What’s the Story?) Morning Glory album.

it could never live up to the hype and expectation but I also think it doesn't deserve the kicking its getting either, rather like the be here now album i suppose
I like it, but i think it would be great if we got to here some of the other versions, such as liam singing it or different arrangements.

1. Supersonic – Classic first single 2. Some Might Say – First number one single 3. The Shock of the Lightning – So far so good 4. Lyla – A real return to form, was great at the gigs 5. Go Let It Out – a contemporary Beatles song 6. DYKWIM – too long, over produced and far too many guitar tracks 7. The Hindu Times – not one of their better songs really

Regarding that purported Solder On clip: It's a clip that's been circulating for a few months though. It does sound potentially great, but there's absolutely no distinctive vocals - something that instantly heightens suspicion, cos why would something like this leak without vocals? Nothing big has ever leaked in instrumental format before, it's always been instantly recognisable. It doesn't help when people who should know better keep on spreading it around with ill-informed comments about it... A 38 second clip, with a second of indistinguishable vocals. I think some people try to convince themselves they can hear Liam there but, in all reality, no-one can make a judgement. i agree with you mr monobrow, i don't think its oasis. I'd just like to know who it is. sorry for uploading the other clip but again, who is it by?

I heard this and loved it but it's evident it's not the proper thing from the clip we've heard. It does sound fucking good even if it's not Oasis I'd like to know what it is and hear the rest of it. Yeah I'd like to know the name of the track curlies unploaded. if its not oasis who is it. i'd like to know please :-)

i swear ive heard that soldier on clip on here before, are we sure thats oasis? If your refering to the clip curlies has posted, it has not been confirmed what song it is or who its by. there were originally 2 clips posted in april. i'm don't think both clips are from the same song but are two different songs again no one has identified these clips
