Get Oasis' "Dig Out Your Soul" music before album release date

9 September 2008

The new album doesn’t hit the shelves until 6th October, but Oasis fans across the world are set to get an exclusive preview of ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, in a groundbreaking partnership between Big Brother Recordings and music magazine NME supported by Arts Council England and Guitar Hero.

The band have teamed up with NME in a musical first, which will see the magazine release the sheet music and lyrics to three brand new album tracks – ‘Bag It Up’, ’The Turning' and ‘(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady’ in an exclusive companion disc give-away.

Packaged as an official collectable item featuring a unique Big Brother Recordings catalogue number, the Oasis ‘NME Dig Out Your Soul Songbook’ will be free with NME’s September 17th issue and will also include a CD-Rom packed full of exclusive content and artwork.

The songbook will invite fans to play the as-yet unheard tracks themselves by filming their efforts and uploading them to a dedicated microsite housed at www.oasisinet.com/digoutyoursoulsongs. This radical move adds a new dimension to the ‘free music’ debate and encourages all you die hard fans out there to pick up your instruments!

Noel Gallagher of Oasis said, “The gift of music is very special... and anything that can bring music into a kid’s life is an incredible thing.”

You, the fans, are encouraged to interpret the new tracks in your own personal style on whichever instruments you please and Big Brother Recordings have put together a very special prize for the best entry. A lucky winner will be personally chosen by the band and will win a unique VIP experience to the Oasis gig of their choice anywhere in the world, including travel and accommodation.

Conor McNicholas, NME Editor said: “We are ecstatic that NME has been able to work with Oasis to give our readers the very first taste of ‘Dig Out Your Soul’. The songbook really does mark a world first in including fans in the excitement of a new album release. With Arts Council England on board helping kids pick up instruments, this covermount could inspire and enable a new generation of Gallaghers right across the country.”

The Oasis 'NME Dig Out Your Soul Songbook' is backed by the Arts Council England’s Take it away scheme which has given out £6m worth of interest free loans to budding musicians over the last 12 months.

Mary-Alice Stack, who manages Take it Away at Arts Council England, said:

“Take it away is about helping people to get started learning and playing musical instruments of all kinds. We’re delighted to be involved with this songbook and competition, because we’re sure it will do just that.

“Along with aspiring Noels and Liams, we hope that the opportunity to perform these songs might well turn up a would-be Vanessa Mae or Seth Lakeman for the next generation."

HEAR 'DIG OUT YOUR SOUL' ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK

11 September 2008

Sadly, Oasis cannot perform in New York tomorrow night. However you can still see songs from their new album performed live.

Friday September 12th will see street musicians performing four new tracks from 'Dig Out Your Soul'. At various locations in the city, including Grand Central Station and Times Square, the songs 'Bag It Up', 'The Turning', '(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady' along with forthcoming single 'The Shock Of The Lightning' will be performed by acts ranging from 'Shred Violin' to 'Double Bass Rock'.

The event is being sponsored by the city of New York.

“We are excited that Oasis has chosen to not only launch their album in New York City, but also to enlist the help of our talented and diverse street musicians,” said George Fertitta, CEO, NYC & Company.

“Considering the fact that some of the most internationally-celebrated musical performers of this Century have had their start right here on our streets, there could not be a more fitting place for this to happen than New York City, and we encourage New Yorkers and visitors alike to take the opportunity to see these unreleased songs performed for the fist time on our City streets.”

The performances will be filmed by renowned music video directors The Malloys and produced by BBH. A full list of performers and locations can be found at www.nycvisit.com/oasis along with initial footage from the day which will be available to view from 6pm (EST).

The day of street performances ties in with the Oasis Songbook which goes live next Tuesday. Fans from around the world will have the opportunity to download the sheet music and vocal melodies of the four tracks then submit their renditions via YouTube to be in with the chance of winning a trip to see Oasis play at any gig around the world. UK fans can also buy a collector's version of the songbook which goes on sale with next week's NME.

'The Shock Of The Lightning' is released worldwide on 29th September on Oasis' Big Brother Recordings label. To pre-order the single, click here. 'Dig Out Your Soul', the band's seventh studio album, is released on October 6th.

Leuk, maar ik vind 100 dollar wel schofterig duur!

It's obvious there's lots of 'borrowing' going on still but it's all for the greater good because no one else in popular music is makeing this style of music and no one else can copy music as well as Oasis can! That said, Liam (for me) is the best rock singer since Jagger (this album confirms this) and I can't think of another album released this year that I've enjoyed as much as my first experiences with this one.

I can't see this attracting any new fans to Oasis but I can definately see how existing fans and more so fans of what Oasis are in to and are about will really, really enjoy this album. It's a tibute album to English psych music from the 60's only with better production than the majority of those albums and with a greater singer.

I thank Oasis for keeping this style of music alive and not letting it die out to all the girly music that's taken over the radio, tv and charts lately (those damn kids!)
