Superb chorus, immense. Glad to listen another piece like this one, Noel.

I can't get enough of that chorus. It leaves me wishing the song was longer so it came on again.

I don't get the delight at musicians going in different directions musically. There's a million different artists out there who excel at their respective genres, I don't need pop rock musicians to make sub par disco music, I'd just listen to another musician. If I like Walkers salt and vinegar crisps I wouldn't want them to start tasting differently You don't like Let Forever Be or Setting Sun or even Teotihuacan? |

Why do you even bother to comment the same thing every time? Because I’ve been a member of the forum since 2008. I’m entitled to. I want to like what he’s doing. Of course you are just like everybody else. Didn't mean it in that way. But it comes across with such vitriol. Some people like it, some people don't. It's just music. I'm sorry you don't like it - personally I do but fully understand it's not everybody's bag. |

There's a million different artists out there who excel at their respective genres, I don't need pop rock musicians to make sub par disco music, I'd just listen to another musician. If I like Walkers salt and vinegar crisps I wouldn't want them to start tasting differently Try a bit of variety for a start? To take your crisp analogy, I like salt and vinegar, but I also like cheese & onion, and prawn cocktail, and smoky bacon. I like the same thing with different flavours. What I don't like is the same flavour crisp but it getting inferior and stale from its classic original. So I LOVE Walker's Cheese & Onion but I don't need shitty Goldon Wonder's Cheese & Onion. Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, etc is Walkers, Dying of the Light, Lock All The Doors, Girl With X Ray Eyes are all Goldon Wonder's. Same flavour, just shitter - so there's no point, so I just get my fix from the classic Walkers (although he does drop in the Walker's crisp here and there but only rarely, such as Dead In The Water). That's Noel up until Who Built The Moon. What's the point in redoing it but less good? He's doing far more interesting things nowadays. It's not perfect but I like the adventure and sense of abandon he has now. Anyway, about Blue Moon Rising, it's not perfect but I really dig it. I do love that chorus though but I just feel it's a bit undercooked. I think there's a really great song dying to get out here that isn't fully explored. I like the Running Up The Hill vibe, and its moody dance vibes. As mystoryisgory, don't be afraid to expand on it and make it epic. Make it bigger I say. |

I'm in this minority too. My current ranking of the 3 songs is: 1. Black Star Dancing 2. Blue Moon Rising 3, This Is The Place My only criticism of Blue Moon Rising is that it is way too short. As for songs like Dream On, The Dying Of The Light and other from his first to records, as much as I love them, right now I'm into what he is doing now. I just wish he had made a full album of his current music. Black Star Dancing does not really work for me but I agree on all the others. And, even outside the electronic-house vibe, he is trying to produce his more conventional songs in a different way: TDOTL is no doubt a good song but A Dream is All I Need to Go By sounds much more fresh to me A Dream Is All I Need To Get By works because, while it's conventional, it's using influences that are not that common amongst Noel's back catalogue. We all know he loves Burt Bacharach but there's not many tunes I'd say evidently owe a debt to him (Going Nowhere, Half The World Away to name two). It's fresh because he's not rewriting something from the past, which is part of its appeal. |

That's somewhat of a more-conventional song, at least in the singer-songwriter vein, but he did it with more of an indie pop/Hippo Campus "Warm Glow"-like approach that gives it a cool flair and great atmosphere that enhances the song. |

The main artwork for BSR is trash compared to the Wandering Star artwork. Not sure why both iTunes and Spotify use Wandering Star over the official main one. Weird.

More I listen to BMR, the more I'm loving the chorus and instrumental bit. Really think it could've been great if it was longer and more developed.

New Thread suggestion: “The Great Wait Thread”
It’s going to be awhile until the next new material. We need a place to argue about nothing for a few years.

I'd love to hear David Holmes have a go at reproducing these EP tracks. They're a nice bunch, but Noel's post-2000 lack of musical abandon stops them punching as hard as they should. Blue Moon Rising has a tonne of potential, what with those gorgeous vocal cut-ups and the menacing bass, but the production is much too reserved for it's own good.

If you click on Noel's complete discography playlist and then click on the EP name of Blue Moon Rising from there you get the track with the correct artwork for some reason. |

Pleaseant, not every song must be a banger or a ballad. this doesnt fit that scheme Noel used to have. However, the song isnt without flaws, it feels like something is coming up but never quites get there. Not saying a guitar solo is a must, but other stuff could be done before the last chorus to break up the song.

Is it just me or is this a good song, but it's just too short?

Blue Moon Rising has a tonne of potential, what with those gorgeous vocal cut-ups and the menacing bass, but the production is much too reserved for it's own good. Holmes tunes smack you in the face, far more potent than anything he’s worked with since Owen Morris. I agree, the EPs are just a bit too clean. Noel’s very capable of producing himself - nothing that I’d say is technically poor - but the great producers always give it that extra kick and spark of life. |

As with all the EP’s totally not my cup of tea. Would I put this on at a party to get things going? No. Would I put on the jukebox in the pub? No.Would I crank this up in the car? No. Therefore not sure when I would want to listen to it, or what it would do for me or my mood at the time. Because of this I couldn’t even rate this. What would be the comparator? If it’s the past, and let’s face it that’s the reason I’m a fan and on here, then it would be right down there with the worst, as would 90% of his past 2-3 years of material. This is my opinion, which isn’t worth shit to anyone else but me, but there it is. Disappointed again

Not saying a guitar solo is a must, but other stuff could be done before the last chorus to break up the song. Just could do with being longer I think - because it doesn't drag at all and it feels like it's building up, then it stops rather abruptly. I don't mind it doing so, but like a lot of others/you have said, it just feels a tad under-cooked. But it's still, for me, a really good effort. It's 7-7.5 like the rest of the stuff off the EPs for me. |

I feel like Noel is too reserved in his writing and playing too. A song like Blue Moon Rising or Black Star Dancing (boy Noel has a thing for songs that start with "b" words and end with "ing"  ) should each take off and turn into something from the climactic parts but they don't. They rise and immediately fall, which is new for Noel but I'd love to see what he could do with the turning the knobs up one notch to 11 at that point and do so with his new stylistic approach, instead of letting it fall and end after it rises. I think that's why This is the Place is so exciting because it builds some and really gets into the sound being cultivated, while those first two don't quite do that. |

TITP is still my favourite for that exact reason. It's all a learning process though so I'm just happy we've got output - and in my opinion, very decent output - rather than all of these songs being held for an album or never seeing the light of day. |
