Album notes
Oasis: Liam Gallagher (vocals); Noel Gallagher (guitar, background vocals); Paul Arthurs (guitar); Paul McGuigin (bass); Alan White (drums).Additional personnel: Paul Stacey (acoustic guitar, guitar, keyboards, bass); Mark Coyle (12-string acoustic guitar, electric sitar); Charlotte Glasson (flute); Mark Feltham (harmonica); Jan "Stan" Kybert (programming); PP Arnold, Linda Lewis (background vocals).Recorded at Wheeler End, Olympic Studios, Supernova Heights, England, and Chateau De La Colle Noir, France.Having both become fathers since the release of 1997's BE HERE NOW, Liam and Noel Gallagher have cut back on the carousing and ironically made Oasis's fourth album the most psychedelic one to date. Overseen by Massive Attack/Bjork producer Mark "Spike" Stent, STANDING ON THE SHOULDER OF GIANTS, finds the larger-than-life sound of the Brothers Gallagher sprinkled with a light dusting of drum loops, samples, electric sitar, Mellotron, and backward guitar. As always, the Beatles continue to loom large as influences, particularly on the "Hey Jude"-like "Little James," Liam's songwriting debut. The track was written with Simple Minds' Jim Kerr and is dedicated to Liam's son. Elsewhere, the obvious Indian influence of "Who Feels Love" suggests "Dear Prudence" had George Harrison written it instead of John and Paul. At different points, GIANTS finds Oasis flirting with the Madchester sound of the Happy Mondays and Stone Roses. "Gas Panic!" and "Roll It Over" point to the morning-after vibe of vintage Primal Scream while "Fuckin' in the Bushes" sounds like a lost Charlatans UK track. Despite all the experimentation, the lads from Manchester firmly hold onto their Brit-pop crown with thumping numbers like "Liar" and "Go Let It Out!"
Editorial reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...Sonically, GIANTS is easily their boldest work, with mastermind Noel Gallagher and new co-producer Mark 'Spike' Stent...layering backward guitars and turntable scratching over huge trash-can beats that actually swing a bit... Rolling Stone (03/16/2000) 4 stars out of 5 - ...an effective modern psychedelic record that has dumped the bombast of yore and replaced it...with some real emotion....Oasis are still British rock'n'roll's brightest hope... Q (03/01/2000) ...the more you hear the album, the more its melodies gnaw into the brain and the subtle complexities of its arrangements unfold....a much better album than BE HERE NOW... Mojo (03/01/2000) 3 out of 5 - ...a good LP....containing a few new tricks....The huge-beat-meets-Led-Zeppelin-riffs instrumental [first track] and the groovy 'Go Let It Out' get the album off to a great start... Alternative Press (03/01/2000) 3.5 stars out of 5 - ...a good record....confirms Oasis as the Rolling Stones of their generation rather than The Beatles....good enough to make you remember [their past greatness]... Melody Maker (02/29/2000) 6 out of 10 - ...It is a transitional work, the album Oasis had to make, to prove to themselves as much as anyone else that the desire still lay within... NME (02/26/2000) ...less clotted and grating than 1997's BE HERE NOW...the sonic openness allows Gallagher's melodies and guitar and his brother Liam's pissy bray to shine brighter... - Rating: B Entertainment Weekly (03/03/2000) ...its most heartfelt record to date....unabashedly couching their influences in an anthemic, often psychedlic, pop framework....still a force to be reckoned with.

Hello, thank you for looking at this listing. Please take a moment to read the information about this CD and my general terms & conditions.

Grading CDs can be a subjective matter but to give you as clear as possible description of this CD I use the following grading system for all my items.

New & Sealed = self explanatory

Mint = Will have no surface marks, many will be unplayed.

Very Good Condition = will have few or very few surface marks.

Good = will have some surface marks.

Acceptable = will have numerous surface marks.

Using this system I have graded this CD as Very Good

All Good & Acceptable disks, and random Very Good disks, have been checked with a computer based "jitter" test program and have played without error. A jitter test will find errors that are often inaudible so it is a more rigorous test than simply listening to the CD.

Any CD that fails testing is discarded. By using this system you can be confident that the CD you are buying is "as described" and that you will be happy with your purchase.

Jewel cases are checked for damage and any that are broken are replaced where possible. If it is not possible to replace a case, eg digipaks, it will be stated here.

Inserts are all present & are in good order unless otherwise stated.

I only accept Paypal so please do not bid unless you can pay in this way. If you are paying by Paypal e-Cheque please note that these can take 10 days to clear.

I post all items in padded envelopes every working day so you will not be kept waiting for your purchase to arrive.

Customer satisfaction is important to me. If you have any problem with this CD please contact me as I will always aim to resolve matters as soon as possible.

If you are happy with your purchase please leave feedback and I will naturally do the same for you.

Once again many thanks for looking.

Mike
