Shownotes
The music on Definetely Maybe drew unapologetically from Noel’s canon of influences — the Beatles, the Stones, T. Rex, the Sex Pistols, Slade — and Oasis made no attempt to hide the debts. Noel's philosophy was simple: never be afraid of the obvious because it's all been done before. What mattered wasn't novelty but feeling, and Definitely Maybe had feeling in extraordinary abundance. The guitars were enormous, the melodies were immediate, and the production — rescued and transformed by engineer Owen Morris, who mixed the record with a technique that made it play louder than almost anything else — gave the whole thing a physical impact that still hits you in the chest 30 years on. This was not music designed for careful headphone listening. It was designed to fill rooms and change the temperature of the air.
