"Noel [Gallagher] has guest edited this month's Mojo Magazine, which is on the shelves now. The magazine also comes with a personally compiled covermount CD titled 'Well... All Right!' which features artists as diverse as Nina Simone, Black Mountain, Yage and Buffy Sainte-Marie.

The magazine has the first in-depth interview with Noel in which he talks about the writing and recording of his debut album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds'. He also discusses several tracks which have helped shape his life.

The magazine features articles about poet John Cooper Clarke, Miles Kane, the roots of punk and James Brown which have all received Noel's seal of approval"

06/07/11 - Noel Gallagher album confirmation

From the official Noel Gallagher Twitter page:

"Noel's first solo album will be released on 17th October. The second, done with Amorphous Androgynous, will be next year"

Titles and tracks remain to be seen, but this is almost certainly set to be the most high profile release Brian and Gaz have worked on in some time, of not ever. News on this next year when it comes in, we imagine.

18/05/11 - FSOL score Russian computer game

Now the news page is working properly again, we're able to mention the computer game FSOL are scoring. FSOL have teamed up with Russian composer Vladislav Isaev to compose the soundtrack for forthcoming computer game Prime World. Press releases and such have been translated and posted on the forum, here. Meantime, you can check out some sample music and stills from the game at the official site, and watch a trailer for what looks like a film about the composition of the soundtrack here.

The music on the game site is nice, fitting into a mixture of electronic and acoustic sounds that seem fitting after tracks like Heart Sick Chord. We'll keep you updated on any news regarding the game and its soundtrack.
