Has anyone heard this yet? This is a remix of an Oasis track by Amorphous Androgynous, aka the Future Sound Of London. And it’s a trip, it really is! A "remix" that really stretches the definition of that term, as it is 22 minutes long, full of crazy wobbly bits, sitars, flutes, extra vocals, an beautiful piano break, and yet still sound perfectly normally and true to the original track? All remixes should be like this!
The key is addition of the extra vocals and instruments - it brings out parts of the track only hinted at on the original, and even though it is 22 minutes long, it doesn't get boring once. This is like a movie in music; it takes the listener on a sonic voyage and if you commit yourself, you will not only enjoy the journey, but you'll be sorry that it had to end. This track is up there with Pink Floyd's finest 20-minute plus tracks, like "Echoes" or "Atom Heart Mother". What a shame Oasis didn't actually put this on their record, on one "side" - it would've been great fun.
This track was only released on vinyl as far as I know, but you can find it on the web if you look hard enough. Its on YouTube in several pieces though, which I have linked underneath. It really starts going at about 9 minutes in, and the best bit for me is after the piano breakdown and the Sufi-singing begins.
Mad, crazy, truely psychedelic stuff.
