Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 2011-2021 (Deluxe Edition) CD

To mark a decade since Noel Gallagher launched his post-Oasis band, High Flying Birds, the monobrow-sporting Mancunian has decided to offer-up a three-disc retrospective featuring a mixture of highlights, previously unreleased material and hard-to-find remixes. Those who've kept track of the band's career will know what to expect, namely a mixture of Beatles-inspired beat pop, heavier psychedelic rock, bluesy indie anthems and, more recently, throbbing indie-dance numbers inspired by Gallagher's increasing interest in electronic music. The remixes featured on the third disc are generally rather good too, with highlights including Sons of the Desert's take on 'Blue Moon Rising' and the Rephlex's surprisingly funky revision of 'Black Star Dancing'.
