There's the sublime Bacharach-like 'Half The World Away', where the yearning qualities of Noel's vocal embellish an exquisite bit of songwriting. 'Fade Away' rages with that fierce energy that brought the band to people's attention, a thrashy edge that's also noticeable on the powerful 'Listen Up', and then there's the heaving, snarling cover of 'I Am The Walrus'. It's also a song that reminds us that dreams can come true, and that anything is possible. Written before superstardom but recorded at the height of Oasismania, the wonderful 'Going Nowhere' demonstrates why Noel's voice was necessary for the more graceful moments. British music owes a big favour to the woman who took him in for a night and inspired him to change his mind. The tender, acoustic 'Talk Tonight' was written by Noel after he left the band on an American tour, on the verge of walking out for good.
