Noel Gallagher has confirmed that he is releasing a new album of Oasis tracks after unearthing a collection of old songs by the band. The Manchester musician is in the process of re-recording 14 tracks, but his brother Liam won’t be involved.
“I’ve listed the proper songs and there were 14,” he told the Matt Morgan podcast.
“They just fell by the wayside of various projects from down the years. I’m going to record them. Some are quite old-school.
“I was looking at the tracklisting and thinking: ‘Actually, fucking hell, no I’d approach that song differently’. It’s been very interesting.”
“The gift is not coming up with the chords. The gift I’ve been given is remembering it all. If I play a song once and and it connects, it’s in there forever.”
“Obviously, I’ll forget about little things but years later I’ll be playing something and go: ‘Hang on, that’s that fucking tune I had’.
“That’s the gift, not the songwriting. If they’re good enough they’ll come back.”
It currently remains unclear if Noel will recruit his old bandmates for his latest effort, but NME has contacted his representatives for comment.

Exactly, that's what I wonder too. It would make sense if he broke this news to generate some sort of hype around his next solo work: "look, I know my latest solo album flopped, but here's a new one INCLUDING SONGS I WROTE FOR OASIS, please leave your $20 at the counter thanks"

sounds interesting but i must admit that i prefer Liam's voice over Noel's any day of the week - I'd love to hear Liam sing The Masterplan for example
As a guitarist myself, when I revisit old songs sometimes I too go 'fucking hell nice chords' so I know what he means - though obviously on a whole different level ha ha

I prefer Liams old voice (from 90's) too (definitely not current voice - too bad and too nasal voice these days).
But in Masterplan is probably only Oasis song I'm definitely comfortable with Noels voice.

The one thing that drives me a bit bananas with some of the older bootlegs (e.g., Earls Court '95 and Cardiff '96) is when Noel sings the songs Liam sings on the album. I'd much rather hear Liam do the lead vocals on songs like Wonderwall, Morning Glory, Slide Away, and (to a lesser extent, mind you) Whatever. The two bootlegs I mentioned are out there in fantastic quality but I tend to gravitate towards Maine Road and Knebworth, where the vocals are done "properly."

Yes it is. Except for what I was moaning about earlier: Noel (not Liam) sings Wonderwall, Whatever, and Slide Away. Sure, Noel can hold a note better than Liam but I'll take Liam's snarling voice over Noel's on these tunes any day of the week!
