Big Brother Records
Big Brother Recordings Ltd. is a record label set up in 2000 to release material by rock band Oasis in the UK and Ireland. On 19 June 2008 a deal was signed with Sony BMG which entitled them to an arranged portion of the profits from the next three Oasis studio albums to be released through Big Brother. The name of the company is a reference to the band's guitarist, singer and songwriter Noel Gallagher, who is the older brother of lead singer Liam Gallagher. The catalogue number of each release begins with "RKID", which stands for "our kid"; Northern England slang to refer to a brother. The imprint was started after Alan McGee announced on 25 November 1999 that he was leaving Creation Records, Oasis' original record company. The first release on Big Brother was the single "Go Let It Out" (catalogue number 'RKID 001') on 7 February 2000, the lead single from the band's fourth studio album, ''Standing on the Shoulder of Giants''. On 14 August 2000, all of Oasis's singles from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Be Here Now (album)
''Be Here Now'' is the third studio album by English rock band Oasis, released on 21 August 1997 by Creation Records. The album was recorded at multiple recording studios in London, including Abbey Road Studios, as well as Ridge Farm Studio in Surrey. Although most tracks retain the anthemic quality of previous releases, the songs on ''Be Here Now'' are longer and contain many guitar overdubs. Noel Gallagher said this was done to make the album sound as "colossal" as possible. The album cover features a shot of the band members at Stocks House in Hertfordshire. It is the last Oasis studio album to feature founding members guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan as the two left in 1999. Following the worldwide success of their first two albums, ''Definitely Maybe'' (1994) and ''(What's the Story) Morning Glory?'' (1995), the album was highly anticipated. Oasis' management company, Ignition, were aware of the dangers of overexposure, and before release ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Who Feels Love?
"Who Feels Love?" is a song by the English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It became the second single to be released from the album '' Standing on the Shoulder of Giants'', peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart and entering the top 20 in Ireland, Italy, and Spain. The album was noted for its psychedelic feel, and "Who Feels Love?" was held up as the most extreme example of this. Mark Stent was praised for his production on the song, creating a "trippy" feel like that found on Beatles songs such as "Rain". With the psychedelic and Eastern sound, the song also reminds of George Harrison achievements like "Within You Without You" and also some of his solo work. However, despite the acclaimed production, the song itself was not well received by the critics, with ''NME'' stating that the production "triumphs over any real sort of feeling... pure mock Maharishi spirituality that not even Liam can salvage from the realm of self-parody". ...

The7stars
the7stars is a media agency based in the United Kingdom. Clients include Iceland, Warner Music, Ladbrokes Coral Group, Nintendo and Suzuki. In 2017, Campaign Magazine ranked the7stars the 12th biggest media agency in Britain. History the7stars was established in 2005, by Jenny Biggam, Mark Jarvis, and Colin Mills, along with a group of senior management from media agency Carat UK, who founded the organisation to compete with independent media agencies. The marketplace had been slow to develop due to prohibitively high start-up costs; the funding required for the creation of the agency came from private individuals, rather than from "venture capitalists or a media network", making the7stars the first planning agency to launch since Christine Walker set up Walker Media in 1997". In 2009, the7stars conducted research on the effect the global economic downturn had on media consumption in the UK. It was reported that older consumers had stated that, if prices increased, 46 percent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
