Excerpt from 'Noel Gallagher Talks to AZ Central' (find it on April 2012 section on Oasis Newsroom)
"It seems worth pointing out that there's a second solo album he's already started in collaboration with the Future Sound of London, using their alias of Amorphous Androgynous.
"Well, yes, it's recorded," Gallagher replies. "But it's not mixed. And whether it'll ever see the light of day or not, I don't know. There's a lot of work left to be done. A lot of work. I just did my bits in the studio and left it up to the Amorphous Androgynous to artistically direct it. And unfortunately for everybody, they've not finished it."
Looks like our fears on it not being released are getting close. For goodness sake Noel, don't chicken out on something that is vastly different. A lot of the fans love the AA work including myself and it would be great to throw up something really interesting once in a while. Suspect that his record company don't want him to commit commercial suicide, but he'll always have the core fanbase anyway.
And if people are suspecting that the new video is for Freaky Teeth (which is allegedly supposed to be on the AA album), then do we lose hope for this?

At this stage I don't care any more. I just want news of a new album be i this or HFB part 2. I love "Shoot a Hole into the Sun" but I'm sick of it dragging on. Noel shouldn't get all the stick for the delay though "I just did my bits in the studio and left it up to the Amorphous Androgynous to artistically direct it. And unfortunately for everybody, they've not finished it." From that it looks like the AA are the delay and while they're brilliant from what I've heard they're an odd bunch so the temperature in the mixing room might not be suitable for them to mix the tracks and venus might not be in line with neptune.

I think the main reason of the delay is that NGHFB album did better than expected, so as it should be, Noel and his managment will take advantage of it as much as possible. So the main reason is business, not AA or Noel. Maybe the AA album will be out in the middle of 2013 and we´ll get a new single or EP meanwhile.

How many tracks did Noel say they recorded for the HFB sessions? 30? Let's just have the rest of those.

As long as we, at some point, get Freaky Teeth, I don't care!

The way he speaks about them there implies a falling out...

i think he was really disappointed in what they did, he says they not finished it yet there are clips out there of the singles, those i think he wont mind as they have an alternative version on HFB, its the other original songs, those are what the alboom will be judged on and he probably thinks there poo

Good news. I was hoping this album would get scrapped. Much rather have normal songs on a normal album instead of a bunch of weird stuff.

Don't mind them, but not a huge fan of AA remixes. Much rather have a good rock 'n roll album (Or EP, whatever's sooner).
Geez, how many times do you have to repeat the line "Shoot a hole into the sun?"

I take everything Noel apparently says about this album with a pinch of salt but in fairly sure it will be released.

I'd expect a few of the remixes on Noel Gallagher and AA singles, perhaps a couple on a re-issue of the HFB album, perhaps a couple of internet-only exclusives and that's it. We may get 50% or so of the project in bits and pieces and the rest will be scrapped. |

Not sure who exactly would buy the album other than Oasis diehards. The new sound would alienate casual fans and from what we've heard I don't think the AA mixes are good enough to attract new fans. I'd rather we just get the mixes that they have done as b-sides.

personally, I think the AA people (who are drug abusing fuckheads btw) have disappointed Noely G and he's not a happy bunny...
if they havent finished by the time the tour is over, i think he'll tell them to fuck off.

Getting the same thing over and over is much better than getting something else. In fact, I think Noel should record WTSMG again except change all the words and call it his second solo album. |

I think it could actually a wider market of fans... It would move away from the people who are just casual fans of Oasis, and maybe to people who are into more psychedelic/space music...
There's probably a big chunk of fanbases that already like Noel, but there's also probably a big chunk that think he's boring and doesn't push any boundaries... So, the AA album could appeal to them.

This Amorphous Androgynous project is becoming like the filming of Apocalypse Now. Let's all hope it has a happy, well received ending.  |

I quite like the mixes they've done in terms of arrangement and sound but when the AA vocals come in I just cringe. There were some beautiful moments on the IHAG remix where it almost drifted into Pink Floyd territory (the spacey guitar section) but it was over too quickly in the rush to get to the silly AA vocals at the end. I get the impression they leave everything they've tried in the final mix instead of remixing it to include just the sections that work. |

But don't go too far, there's no need to re-record the whole album - those instrumentals were a bit far out! |

I think it could work if AA were big in their genre but they aren't. 99% of people have never heard of them and that's because their music isn't very good. If he'd released an album with someone like The Chemical Brothers then I think it would have a lot more chance of being successful. |

So Noel's story has gone like this:
- I have a second album finished!
- I'm delaying that album because of the success of this one
- Actually the mixing isn't quite finished
- Actually it needs a lot of work doing. A lot of work.
From reading the AA fan board, it sounds like massive delays to albums is not uncommon for them. I think they have an entire album which went unreleased.
I'm just surprised that given the AAs known work rate and his knowledge of what had actually been done by the time of the press conference last year, he went ahead and announced the album.
I'm sad to hear their relationship seems to have soured somewhat - if I only because I think the AA arent the sort of people to work harder after getting moaned about in the press...
I reckon if this album does get completed it'll be by someone else taking the recordings off the AA and completing the mixes - like Stacey seems to have done on SAHITS

Remember how long they've done to finish DBTT? Noel said at Glasto 2004 that he wasn't happy with the result, so they had to do it all over again and finally the album was out... nearly a year later.
I quite like "Shoot A Hole Into The Sun", so I'm very curious how this album will sound like.

By the sound of it AA have pissed everything up... there's a good chance they had finished it but were lazy when doing the mix, so they were hoping he'd just accept what's given to him and he just releases it when really they should know Noel won't release anything he doesn't like.
I said this collaboration was a load of BS on numerous occasions, they never really do well so why bother?
