It's called "Setting Sun," and like most projects involving Noel Gallagher, it sounds like a remake of a Beatles song (in this case, "Tomorrow Never Knows"). This is among the *loudest* CDs I own, and it's got a kitchen-sink production on it (kinda like the aforementioned Lennon/McCartney composition, or the KLF's "America: What Time Is Love?" if you are familiar with that track). It's merely OK (and in places rather annoying), and it's not much like the Charlatans mixes, really, I like those much more. Surprisingly, it's not Noel Gallagher that makes this song any worse than it might be, rather it's the way every instrument sounds like it's turned up to 11, including what sounds like a horn imitating an air-raid siren. The other track on the CD, "Buzz Tracks," is pretty decent, though. I'd say listen before you buy, if you can. -- Adam J Weitzman "Getting [your computer] to work is no more Individual, Inc. difficult than building a nuclear reactor weitzman@individual.com from wristwach parts using only your teeth." http://www.individual.com - Dave Barry
