I'm really enjoying the bonus disc on Back The Way We Came The 3 acoustic versions are fantastic, especially the If I Had A Gun one which now is definitely my go-to version of the song, but The Dying Of The Light is also great and The Man Who Built The Moon surprised me as I didn't think it would work this well on acoustic The International Magic demo is interesting, probably a glimpse into some sonic ideas that later gave life to some of the things on the record The two Skeleton Key remixes are brilliant, and I love the Blue Moon Rising one as well, don't mind The Reflex version of Black Star Dancing too, although I listen to it less I guess we could've gone with some other material instead of the instrumentals, personally I enjoy them as I believe the chose songs warrant them, but I'd have rather had some more remixes/acoustic versions Overall though it makes for a very satisfying listen on its own I gotta say
Obviously as I think everyone here I would've loved to get a new record out of lockdown, but couple the bonus material with the two new songs, which I think are amazing, and we got a real nice treat to kill the wait

I've done a remaster on The Death of You and Me. Thoughts?
I have also done a full remaster of the debut album which has been done by me and it will contain 20 bonus tracks, with demos and rarities. This will be coming soon, but for now enjoy this teaser!

Noel really missed trick by not putting all of the original songs from the E.P's to on the second disc of the best of. Would have been a nice way to have all these tracks on CD.

I'm this close to make a new "EP LP" with This is the Place and Black Star Dancing Skeleton Key remixes in places of the originals. You are warned Noel, those versions are almost out in my itunes playlist.

Who Built The Moon has officially gone platinum Would love my flops to be like this Don't think any Gallaghers solo albums will ever be a flop in the UK. The fanbase is just still too huge there, and despite the war between some pro Noel/pro Liam, most of the fanbase will buy albums from both of them.

I thought Who Built The Moon went platinum ages ago to be honest.

Yeah I agree with you, the fact is Oasis have always had a huge fanbase here in the UK and Noel and Liam will always shift a huge amount of records.

Because I donβt think BE could be called anything but a flop π

A few thoughts
1. Seeing the outfits the Roxy Girls have worn on the recently publicity shows (the dresses with the eyeballs on it) I pictured Charlotte saying she was the one that brought the most 'weird' to NGHFB until the Roxy Girls showed up and said Hold my Beer...
2. I really admire how Noel let and encouraged Charlotte be herself and subsequently the Roxy Girls. He's not making them conform to some NGHFB look. In fact, now the NGHFB looks like a very eclectic ensemble and I really think it's a fantastic aesthetic, much better than when he first started.
3. I love how at the launch press conference, Noel said NGHFB was essentially just him and a name for his solo project and now it is a 14 piece band.
4. He has so much potential to experiment, especially live. With the girls he could pull of a Fleetwood Mac type song or even a great cover of Stand! or Everyday people by Sly and the Family Stone. He's shown real versatility in his singing where he can sing different genres. I would not have been a fan of a Noel Covers Album in 2012 but with his personnel, they could pull of almost anything as long.

Can't quite imagine it actually happening, but would love to see them do Everyday People. Not a fan at all of cover albums, or straight-imitation covers, but definitely would like to see more out-of-left-field live covers. So many shows I've seen have been made by them (in the sense that 10 years later you're still saying, "remember that time NGHFB did Everyday People")

I would hate a full albums worth of covers as I'm not a big fan of them even live to be honest. But they're ok I guess. I still enjoy most of the covers which Oasis put out as b.sides though.

Be Careful... (Instrumental) is so chilling. No need to smoke anything. Very appeasing and loads of new bits i never heard of. Great little piece of music.

What was Noel thinking with the studio version of Record Machine. Had years to finish it up, and the final version is by far the worse version that exists.

Just out of interest what makes you think this? It's always been my favourite song on NGHFB and I think the production is brilliant (except perhaps the choir which I do dislike on that album and SOTSOG). But I still can't really fault the arrangement. Despite this, I much prefer the rawness of the demo on Faster Than The Speed Of Magic.

I just really think everything about the production of the final version of the song makes it weaker. The choir is unnecessary, the instrumentation doesn't fit as well as the demo version does, the vocals are worse, and he for some reason removed the bassline. The DBTT era production style isn't my favorite, but in my opinion it fit this song perfectly. The bland, overproduction of the NGHFB-album era just detracts everything I liked from the song. It also does this (to a lesser extent because the song isn't as good) to Stop the Clocks.

Genuinely think Sail On is one of the best High Flying Bird's songs ever, and one of his sweetest and melancholy tunes ever.

There are songs that were elevated from the use of the choir like Roll It Over or Everybodys on The Run. On Record Machine it feels too overbearing.

Yeah, I know Noel used choirs on some Oasis songs but on his debut album the choir is far too over baring on the songs which they're used on for me. At least with the Oasis songs the choirs worked much better because they weren't over bearing.
