This record was a collaboration between Philip Oakey, the big-voiced lead singer of the techno-pop band the Human League, & Giorgio Moroder, the Italian-born father of disco who spent the '80s writing synth-based pop & film music. It is a testimony to Moroder's fame as a composer that he was able to earn equal billing with Oakey for a record he co-wrote & produced, but for which he supplied no more than "occasional synthesizers" as a musician. The music is not substantially different from ...

If Definitely Maybe was an unintentional concept album about wanting to be a rock & roll star, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? is what happens after the dreams come true. Oasis turns in a relatively introspective second record, filled with big, gorgeous ballads instead of ripping rockers. Unlike Definitely Maybe, the production on Morning Glory is varied enough to handle the range in emotions; instead of drowning everything with amplifiers turned up to 12, there are strings, keyboards, & har ...

Since Oasis has an instantly identifiable, seemingly simple signature sound -- gigantic, lumbering, melodic, & inevitable, as if their songs have always existed & always will -- it can be hard to pinpoint what separates a great Oasis song from a merely mediocre tune. It could be anything from overblown production to a diminished swagger, or it could be a self-satisfied laziness in the songwriting, or a panicky attempt to update their defiantly classicist pop with an electronic shine. All of ...

The official party line goes a little like this: sure, Be Here Now was bloated, but the boys were indulging in their phenomenal success at the time &, yeah, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was a little uneven, but that was essentially due to overcompensation on the corrective steering, plus the defection of two founding members, so 2002's Heathen Chemistry -- the band's fifth album -- is where Oasis returns to form & starts acting like a band again (hell, not only does Liam contribute thr ...

Since Noel Gallagher plays most of the parts on the album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants isn't really the debut of the new, post-Guigsy/ Bonehead lineup, but it is clearly the beginning of Oasis, Mark II. Such a grandiose statement may imply that it's a clear break from Oasis' past, yet that's hardly the case, since many signatures are still in place -- strummed acoustic guitars, big hooks, undeveloped lyrics, familiar rhymes, & a gigantic wall of sound. The arrangements are every bit as d ...

Although long-players like DEFINITELY MAYBE & (WHAT'S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY? are certified Britpop classics, Oasis has always been a singles b&, so 2006's two-disc best-of, STOP THE CLOCKS, was a welcome arrival. Oasis has never been touted for their groundbreaking originality, but it's precisely their retro-styled concoction of irrepressible hooks & alternately chiming & roaring guitars that makes their music so appealing. STOP THE CLOCKS drives that point home & then some. Stret ...
