Oasis Song Gets 'Epic' 22 Minute Remix

Oasis’ forthcoming single "Falling Down" will feature a 22-minute remix by Amorphous Androgynous.

The band’s guitarist Noel Gallagher said the majority of fans would be "blown away" by the "Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble" remix.

"It's 22 mins long. I'll repeat that, Twenty-Two Minutes Long!!" Gallagher wrote on his blog.

"I fully expect 50% of you not to have the attention span to deal with something like that but the rest of you, I hope, will be blown away."

He added: "It's a staggering piece of music. Monumental even. All superlatives will apply."

Amorphous Androgynous is the remix arm of Future Sound Of London’s Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans.

"Falling Down", released on March 9th, is the third single to be taken from Oasis’ 2008 album "Dig Out Your Soul".

The song already features a Chemical Brothers remix, which initially appeared online last year.

Thanks for the report to Gigwise.com.

[thfc]

This could be interesting. I might give it a listen when I find some time. Not a big fan of the original though so my hopes aren't that high

[indie_nation]

yeah but the chemical brothers remix was better than the original so chances are this one will be as well

[REV3LATI0N]

noel is such a tool

[TheSilverBeatle]

I personally love Falling Down. And the Chemical Brothers remix was great. I will definitely be enjoying a nice herb while listening to this 22 minute remix.

[This1GoesTo11]

Cool. Look forward to it.

[Serjem]

yeah im looking forward to it aswell, but it just might turn out to not be as good as he claims it is.

[RedDevil07]

I've listended to songs that have been longer, the diamond sea by sonic youth is 25 mins long

[davedoom]

Plllllease no!

Ruining th word "Epic"

I love Oasis, but there has been an awful lot of positivity for their releases in the last six years...only to be led by mostly disappointment on my end. But I'm too much of a fan to not check it out.

and Frank Zappa did something that was 96 minutes long

but yeah, never liked Oasis much anyway, so, yeah, its a remix to make it 22 minutes long, not a song that -IS- 22 minutes long, Change Of Seasons by Dream Theater is 24 minutes

[jetfuel495]

This could go either way, could be good or bad. Depends on if it can hold people's attention for 22 minutes.

[Minkaro]

"I fully expect 50% of you not to have the attention span to deal with something like that"

50% of Oasis fans are imbeciles. You heard it here first.

[TonyKellogg55]

LOL Minkaro (I sure hope I'm not one of the 50%!!)

[thfc]

Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" is 44 minutes long. Never managed to listen to the whole thing at once but I can tell you that the first 7 minutes rock

[jamie_hough]

I reckon it will be more like 99% of oasis fans wont have the attention span... theyre mostly illinformed douches.

[Daniel8488]

What an idiot, he just insulted his fan's and also, it's oasis, no one, repeat NO ONE would sit and endure that kind of torture for a full 22 minutes.

Also it's not monumental, there have been way longer songs that have been played on real instruments and not remixed, gah what a complete arse he is.

You tool, if 'NO ONE would sit and endure that ind of torture for a full 22 minutes', how come Oasis are where they are now? Dickhead

[shwilly]

Lol, I have 103 songs in my music library that are longer than 20 minutes (many of which are entire concert bootlegs or extended live jams, but still).

Since Oasis are no Dream Theater or Rush or even Jethro Tull for that matter I don't really think it's reasonable to expect an "epic" track in the sense that every section feels like a composition of its own...

Still there are bands in the British scene that kinda sound like Oasis sometimes (the Verve comes to mind) whose album tracks often surpass the 6 minute mark because they include a spacy jam or something, and I'm a fan of that approach as long as it's well executed. But then again Oasis are pretty mediocre when it comes to effects...

How'd they get to where they are today? Maybe they're big where you come from but I really thought these guys broke up a long time ago. I can only think of 3 songs by them that i've heard. I can think of no songs by them that i've heard since 1995. I also don't see how anyone can defend this gallagher guy who appears to be in love with himself.

[WheredMyRockGo?]

Sorry for the double post but if you want to hear a good 22 minute song listen to the odyssey by symphony x.

[gojaromeiginla]

The Poet and the Pendulum (Nightwish) beats the sh*t out of Oasis any f*cking day!

[demonsheep]

Oasis.. Music?...
Wut?

Don't flame me, I kid, Although I don't like their music, It's good that they're diversifying a bit, Although it's hardly an "epic" song as i've come to expect them.

[Jondy]

oasis fans aren't ready for this.

however, for fans of prog and power metal, this is almost standard length. for an epic that is. gotta have one of these every album.

[dankhus]

Oh. My. God.

This truly made me laugh out loud hysterically. He really has an attitude problem.

[TheAmenCorner89]

'Light of Day, Day of Darkness' by Green Carnation is 60mins and 6secs of bliss

Don't know much about Oasis, didn't think they were beyond writing short singles...maybe I'll see if it's any good

[UnaLaguna]

Songs aren't suddenly good because they're long. Some songs take longer to deliver their full punch than others. But the selling point of a song shouldn't be its track length.

Having said that, some of my all-time favourite tracks (such as Pink Floyd's Echoes at 24 minutes) are longer than 22 minutes.

What did they do? Just leave the recording equipment on whilst taking a dump or something?

GREAT ****ing album, great ****ing song.

[Valekt]

My favourite song over the 20-minute mark has to be Supper's Ready, by Genesis.
Truly a religious experience.

[euan_soad]

Epic fail is more like it

[Somnambulance]

Ugh. Thank the stars that Blur is back and hopefully ready to knock Oasis down a few pegs.

oasis try to be the beatles.

ZOMG WEED IS TEH EVILZ!!11! IM TELLING MOM!!!11!

Anyway this should be interesting, though I am indifferent towards Oasis.

[Mostly Autumn]

Am i supposed to be impressed by the fact that this song is 22 minutes long? Seiously My nans played minimalistic music that is over 20 minutes long anyone can do it.
Besides lot of the stuff i listen to is over that...a personal favourite of mine is thick as a brick by jethro tull.
I like the music oasis writes and plays but noel is such a tool i can't stand him if i'm totally honest.
I might have a listen, but that involves getting the effort to buy the single or to know some one who absolutly loves everything about oasis. Therefore, i probably won't hear this remix in a long time...

[TheIceCreamMan]

BANGFEST by Ludachrist

A 42 minute and 54 second remix of hundreds of different songs. Suck it Oasis.

[Dotsey]

a lot of people on here dont get Noel's sense of humour, he's one of the most down to earth and funniest musicians out there today. Look at live interviews rather than reading it cause more often than not you're missing the point.
Anyway 'Falling Down'' by Oasis isnt 22mins long, its the REMIX by AA thats 22mins long!! and i'm guessing most of you never AA before.
And Oasis are the biggest rock band in Britian and Ireland at the moment and have been since 1994 which is all that counts really. Most american rock is lifeless, dont remember the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, Bowie, Led Zep, Dire Straits, Thin Lizzy etc.. been from outside Britain and Ireland.

[Rajah]

!zAck..... how come Oasis are where they are now?

And where are they now? Nowhere near where they were about 14 years ago when they were actually popular. I guess they had to stop ripping off The Beatles eventually. Now they have to get other people to remix their music to make it listenable.

[!zAck]

Pfft.. I've been owned >_< LOL

[GUNIT!]

Boring.

[crazy8rgood]

So what? Every band had 20 minute songs in the 60's and 70's.

[Birkalicious]

Gossamer by The Smashing Pumpkins is clocked usually at 35 minutes.

and being a huge Pumpkins fan, i have to say it's an extraordinary piece of work.

long live the mighty SP!!!

[Kikuta]

I ****ing hate the Gallaghers, most enormous shitcunts on the planet.

I fully expect 50% of you not to have the attention span to deal with something like that

Treating the few people that listen to your music like shit is a great way of making them happy, man!

Thank you. Even though I'm from the US, I'm still a huge Oasis fan. Some people dont get good humor/music sadly...

[m0o]

oasis had decent, i repeat, DECENT music in the 90's. In fact i think theyre are only 3 songs by oasis that i actually liked!

And someone who claims his own stuff to be epic just ruins the whole damn point, even if it does turn out to be 'epic'. Epic songs become epic with the approval of the millions listening. Not because of some arrogant f*ck saying so.

When I read this sentence, all I can think of is "NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOOUR!!!"

This sounds massively pretentious. But I'll reserve judgement for when I've actually heard it...

On topic: I think I would likely shoot myself if I had to sit down and listen to Oasis for 22 minutes.. I'll just go turn on Echoes instead.

I'll listen to it, but Noel is so stuck up. He even went as far as to call the song monumental.

Think before you speak bud.

[Astyan]

Octavarium by Dream Theater, or Black Rose Immortal by Opeth, both breaking the 20 minutes mark. That is what I call epic. I doubt anything from Oasis can ever pretend to come close, no matter who is remixing.

It's not flaming, though, I respect people who like them and I might give it a listen since I've always enjoyed very long songs.

I like how he pretty much calls 50% of his fans idiots that do not have enough patience to listen to the song. Thank god I'm not a fan of him or his band.

[IRONMAIDENTLICA]

A 10 minute song with multiple riffs and stuff epic.... a 15 minute song...maybe...a 22 minute.....thats not a song thats a televison show...and probably a boring one at that

[BlackSymphony6]

hmmm there are plenty of bands out there that produce 20+ minute songs ... its hardly ground breaking.

American Rock is lifeless? America is the birthplace of rock. If it weren't for Chuck Berry and other American musicians you'd have none of those bands! The Beatles got their start by playing covers of American musicians.

To add to Patrick's list: Iggy Pop (Therefore starting punk rock), Frank Zappa, The Doors, Lou Fucking Reed and The Velvet Underground. The Grateful Dead, The Police, Beck, Mike Patton, Dead Kennedys, Minutemen, Sublime, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Metallica, The Beach Boys, The Beastie Boys...

I did as a matter of fact. I really like the black parade album, and you probably would too if you listened to it. It is filled with raw emotions and killer guitar riffs. It's a rock opera, and if you listen to the words they are extremely sophisticated. The vocal harmonies, mixed with Gerard Way's soaring vocals make great music. You know musicians always talking about opening their minds, but when the media makes out a band to be something they are not (in this case I'm talking about "emo") they get to be extremely closed minded. I knew that I would get criticized for that one.

[keithmoon15]

I fully expect 50% of you not to have the attention span to deal with something like that but the rest of you, I hope, will be blown away.

every time i read/hear something from these guys they seem more and more arrogant and douchey

and about the 22 minute song.... meh.... i have heard longer songs, some were good, some were not so great.... it seemed to me like noel was really pushing the 'OMGZZ 22 MINUTES' part of it to make it seem great, but length doesnt make a song great

oh well

i have indeed listened to them, and i dont see them in the same league as any of the other bands, theyre not even the same genre, and neither are RATM, both of which served no purpose in your point

i dont dislike them cause theyre emo, i dislike them cause i dislike them, yet as i say, this has no impact on my saying that they are totally different from say Chuck Berry or Bob Dylan who are also in your list

[guitarnoobie]

There's nothing epic about Oasis.

[NorfIrIon]

What's with the emphasis on 22 minutes? Electric Wizard has several 20+ minute songs, Sleep has Dopesmoker, which is more than an hour. They're not as special as they seem to think.

Lol, MCR aent really Rock are they? You should know that. MCR are a band that make money by writing a song teenagers can become attention seekers to, they are famous because teenagers like to listen to them and self diagnose themselves with forms of depression, which is just an insult to people with actual depressive problems. So no MCR shouldn't really be in a list that contains Elvis, unless your purposefully insulting the KING?!!

I'm sorry but there are two things wrong with saying oasis are the biggest rock band in britain:
1.Oasis aren't rock, they are indie
2.most of the biggest rock bands in britain are either from america or from th 60's, 70's and 80's

and before you say i dont know what im talking about, i happen to be from britain, scotland speficicly, so i actually do know what im talking about. and i dont see the point in artists getting other people to remix and promote their music becuase imo it just shows they're musical ability is limited.

Machine Head's The Blackening has four songs that are between 9 and 11 minutes, and all of them flow seamlessly, blending so many melodies and moods together... THAT is epic. I haven't yet heard an Oasis song to which I wouldn't rather fall asleep and have nightmares about being mugged and thrown in a river wearing chainmail.

btw that happened. I woke up and thought, "thank god there was no oasis"

[Skirvy]

And thats why you fail.

It's not a ****ing competition of how long a song is, so trying to bash Noel & Oasis in that sense is stupid. 'Feelin' by The La's is about a minute and a half long and is better than the ''between 9 and 11 minute'' songs Machine Head make.

And yes i have listened to The Blackening, embarrassingly, i used to listen to metal.

So in conclusion, **** off!

Noel is a god compared to all you dicks siting in your rooms, on your computers, bashing one of rock's icons from the last 2 decades, while Noel is probably ****ing his wife and making millions at the same time.

And Oasis are the biggest rock band in Britian and Ireland at the moment and have been since 1994 which is all that counts really. Most american rock is lifeless, dont remember the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, Bowie, Led Zep, Dire Straits, Thin Lizzy etc.. been from outside Britain and Ireland.

and to you, How about you take a listen to Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, The Eagles, Van Halen, Foo Fighters, MCR, CCR, Bob Dylan, RATM, Chuck Berry, oh and gee lets see...ELVIS?

Think before you speak bud.

wait wait wait, did you just put MCR (which im assuming you mean My Chemical Romance) in a list with true rock legends, claiming them the same level

I did as a matter of fact. I really like the black parade album, and you probably would too if you listened to it. It is filled with raw emotions and killer guitar riffs. It's a rock opera, and if you listen to the words they are extremely sophisticated. The vocal harmonies, mixed with Gerard Way's soaring vocals make great music. You know musicians always talking about opening their minds, but when the media makes out a band to be something they are not (in this case I'm talking about "emo") they get to be extremely closed minded. I knew that I would get criticized for that one.

i have indeed listened to them, and i dont see them in the same league as any of the other bands, theyre not even the same genre, and neither are RATM, both of which served no purpose in your point

i dont dislike them cause theyre emo, i dislike them cause i dislike them, yet as i say, this has no impact on my saying that they are totally different from say Chuck Berry or Bob Dylan who are also in your list

while i like My Chemical Romance, i would have to agree that they dont belong on a list with bob dylan and bruce springsteen. theyre good, but not revolutionary

[RIP_bonham]

you know whats a good 20+ minute "epic" song?
dazed and confused live by led zeppelin (ya thats right im a fanboy :P) sometimes it would be in excess of 45 minutes. and its NOT a remix.
also the 20 minute john bonham drum solo moby dick would sometimes be like half an hour long

[Stampede]

haha. everybody flames oasis threads.
i love them.

[LarsHamfield]

****ing ridiculous he thinks this is EPIC they wrote like a standard 4 piece of music then through a remix are stretching it out look at a band like symphony X who write songs like the odyssey or dream theaters change of seasons which are fully compositional pieces this is such mainstream bullshit

[I Enjoy Music]

Live Forever, Whatever, Cast No Shadow, Champagne Supernova, D'yer Wanna Be A Spaceman, Dont Look Back in Anger, Its Good To Be Free, Round Are Way, Supersonic, Shakermaker(though admittedly ripped off), Morning Glory, Columbia, Digsy's Diner(great lyrics lol), Slide Away, Hello, Cigarrettes and Alcohol (also a kinda rip off), Aqcuiesce, Rock N Roll Star are some good songs by Oasis. Honestly, I think you guys give them a really hard time because you think theyre jackasses but Noel's quotes cant be understood on print, you cant understand his humor unless you see him live. And I think we all know that Oasis hit their peak in 93 to 98 but you have to cut them some slack, its really impressive that they just put out a decent album. Plus you cant deny their popularity at their peak. I think Noel got voted coolest guy in Britain recently, and they won something at the Brit awards in 07. Did you know that 5% of the population applied for knebworth 96 tickets? Anyways, I think that Oasis will go down as one of the great english bands of all time. Although Liam can be an aroogant jerk sometimes and his voice is shot.

[I Enjoy Music]

oops... i forgot Wonderwall.(lol)

[Justice4AllOne]

Noel Gallagher you twat.
Who the **** do you think you are? Oasis sucks, and you think you're the ****ing Beatles.
Nobody would sit through 22 minutes of your shit.

[PhoenixLivesInP]

Oh my God. "Amorphous Androgynous", "Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble". Yeah, let's name that sh*i the most complicated name and be cool. And 22 minutes? Absolutely, it's more, than mentaly retarded child can get..

I'm sorry but there are two things wrong with saying oasis are the biggest rock band in britain:
1.Oasis aren't rock, they are indie
2.most of the biggest rock bands in britain are either from america or from th 60's, 70's and 80's

and before you say i dont know what im talking about, i happen to be from britain, scotland speficicly, so i actually do know what im talking about. and i dont see the point in artists getting other people to remix and promote their music becuase imo it just shows they're musical ability is limited.

Oasis havent been indie since creation records folded, and how can Oasis not be rock when the genius up ahead named Dylan, Springsteen and Elvis as been rock?? by the way the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Queen are the 3 BIGGEST rock bands EVER. So you can stick aerosmith, foo fighters and RATM up where the sun dont shine!! and if these bands are so big i'd like to see them come over here and sell 1,000,000 concert tickets in day for a series of gigs in the summer.. there's not 1 other band in the world who could do that for gigs in Britain and Ireland

i obviously didnt think enough because i forgot pink floyd, the who, deep purple, iron maidin, black sabbath, def leppard, u2, jethro tull, the jam and TRex!!
but anyway my under lying point is people from outside these 2 islands dont realise how big an impact Oasis had on the music scene. they made it fashionable to play a guitar again, and they brought a lot of bands through because of their influence. More well known or say generally popular bands in america like say U2 or coldplay will never have the influence on the music scene that Oasis have had and whether you like them or not you have to give them credit for it

[rickneedshelp]

not sure if i could sit through the song but i'd like to see the fistfight video now that would be epic.

[themanintheback]

He acts like 22 minutes is something legendary. Methinks someone's never heard of prog...

[Kikuta]

Holy quote pyramids batman!

[napalm890]

I never I though I'd see 'epic' and Oasis in the same sentence

[punXander]

Oasis will never be epic... too bad nothing more happened to noel after the guy from toronto kicked his ass! NOFX also did an extra long song 15-16 minutes... the decline?? PLUS they would play that song live, i'd like to see oasis do that...

[BassFishin]

"I fully expect 50% of you not to have the attention span to deal with something like that"

So let's insult half of the fans then. Sure, might as well! When you've already made it clear that you're a total prick.

I'll totally give this song a listen though. Oasis still writes good music, even if the singer is a piece of trash.

[BassFishin]

I should add. There are plenty of really cool 'long' songs out there. Okay, maybe not 20 minutes, but theres Local H's 'What would you have me do?'. Theres Smashing Pumpkin's "United States" and "XYU", and of course, anything by Pink Floyd's The Wall, which, as most of their music does, feels like one large song. All of that will probably blow this remix out of the water.

American Rock is lifeless? America is the birthplace of rock. If it weren't for Chuck Berry and other American musicians you'd have none of those bands! The Beatles got their start by playing covers of American musicians.

To add to Patrick's list: Iggy Pop (Therefore starting punk rock), Frank Zappa, The Doors, Lou Fucking Reed and The Velvet Underground. The Grateful Dead,The Police, Beck, Mike Patton, Dead Kennedys, Minutemen, Sublime, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Metallica, The Beach Boys, The Beastie Boys...

I am not even a fan of Oasis, but will have to check it out because I love The Future Sound Of London.

imho, Oasis = biggest one-hit-wonder ever.

Oasis has had some good songs, but I really cannot stand this guy... same guy who compared them to the Rolling Stones... I'm sorry but they can stop trying to be the Beatles...

agreed, for a song to actually be special it has to have the content for it. Bands like Dream Theater change the course of the song every 20 seconds, the reason their songs are long is because thats the only way to make em.

Oasis is just extending a song, with the emphasis being on "its long". Go ahead and remix a song, but making it pointlessly long is dumb, 50 bucks says after 5 minutes the song gets painstakingly boring.

"I fully expect 50% of you not to have the attention span to deal with something like that... "

wow, he wasn't coming off like an egotiiscitcal prick who's above everyone or anything.

[I Enjoy Music]

i honestly think noel just insults people and says ridiculous things for laughs. I dont understand how all you people can take the things he says seriously when he spews out stuff like this all the time. Btw, promoting your own song is being an arrogant prick. oasis has never done something like this so for them it is pretty epic. Another thing, if all these people hate oasis so much, why do they take the time to read their articles and flame? (btw the 50% thing was probably an attempt at being humble in that the song might not interest you for that long) You have to remember that he grew up in a place where you couldnt be humble and nice all the time or you got beat up.

i meant not being an arrogant prick
