Hopefully there's more. I'd really like to hear a Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve mix of While the Song Remains the Same.

Unfortunately being an EP I think it won't be more than 5 or 6 songs, which probably means that we're getting the ones we have already heard and nothing else. Still hoping though...

That's a good spot on David Holmes website Matt. Noel is listed in his production section but not the remix section of the website so as DefMaybe00 has said he could be producing something which we haven't heard yet.

Hopefully Holmes does remix a track though as his reworks of Primal Scream, Manics etc are excellent as is his own solo work.

Nothing other than that PR site has officially mentioned the remix EP but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a mini album of all the released remixes plus another couple we have yet to hear.

For definite I can see both Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve mixes being included along with the Weatherall remix and if it is only an EP then add another 3 tracks, possibly one of the Massive Attack versions of The Right Stuff and two more by other producers. I don't think either of the Toydrum reworks will be included as one is already widely available on the special edition so that's quite a bit of exposure.

Noel may through a curveball and release an Amorphous Androgynous remix, they did state they were working on an alternative Chasing Yesterday so although it's a long shot we just don't know!

Noel mentions he met with David Holmes to produce Chasing Yesterday, after Sardy declined, only to be declined once again. My guess would be he's done a remix for the EP, seeing as he's done plenty before.

Interviewer: This is the first album you’ve ever produced without help from a co-producer. Why did you go it alone this time?
Noel: It was by necessity. I took the songs in demo form to my producer of the last ten years, Dave Sardy. And he passed because he’s getting into the film industry, because obviously the music industry is dying on its fucking ass. Then I was meeting with the producer David Holmes, and I played him a few songs, and he said, “What do you want me to do? It’s already finished.” So I thought, Oh, okay! He gave me the confidence, and I went back in and finished it off.

I must have missed something. How do we know that the remix EP is a reality and which website mentions it?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it by searching on the forum. Cool stuff, I was waiting for this.
They should do the same with the NGHFB remixes at some point.

As we know Noel's not one for change and likes to stick with his guns. With Sardy out, Holmes is likely his go to guy, so any production work with him is very likely. He very clearly respects the guy... this was the most detailed quote I could find on their encounter:

Noel: “The last I guy I contacted was David Holmes. He’s sat there in my office smoking rolls-up and says, ‘This is fucking great! What do you want me to do?’ I went, ‘What do I want you to do? Do what every other producer does – stand at the back, take a quarter of a million pounds off me, order food all day and then take the fucking credit!’ This is how great Holmer is – he said, ‘Man, I could do that for you but I’d be a fraud because you’re 90% of the way there. I’m not going to come in and press ‘play’ and record because that’s just taking the piss.’ And I went, ‘You know what? I fucking respect that.’ So I went back and finished it myself.”

There's a good chance he's the producer Noel mentioned he had been working with state-side (he produced Primal Scream's latest in LA), but it's certainly not unconceivable that it's just remix work, something Noel could have easily enquired about when he told him to produce it himself. Website mixups happen all the time. It's a great spot though and I'd definitely say he's the significant front runner in the production compartment.

As much as I love the song, The Right Stuff doesn't exactly scream 'summer single'. Personally, I would have gone with You Know We Can't Go Back.

Yeah, but it sounds different than Oasis, which is (almost) exactly what You Know We Can't Go Back sounds like. But we all know Noel is afraid of trying new things (ahem, AA colab/album) so I guess this shouldn't be surprising.


Grats to Noel for doing a video from the US tour, but in the end, meh.

Maybe not to you.



Would be refreshing to see Noel try something a little different than his usual M.O., but can't teach an old,curmudgeon-y dog new tricks.

No, it's just not
You have to put out a summer single, you either choose YKWCGB or LATD cause those songs fit as summer singles

Sometimes it's like you all forget the guy wrote 8 #1 singles and the majority of 9 #1 albums

It's not uncommon to hear instrumental segments of she's electric on tv programs in the UK

Agreed, I hear She's Electric a lot. It's played at the football all the time in Scotland and is probably the best known song on WTSMG outside of the singles, Morning Glory and Champagne Supernova.
