Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

"The Right Stuff" (3D remix, version 1)

Two famed British musicians from the '90s have joined forces on a new remix, as Massive Attack's 3D has reworked a tune from former Oasis bloke Noel Gallagher.

"The Right Stuff" appeared on Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' latest album, Chasing Yesterday. But while the original version had a simmering rock groove, this begins as a moody electronic soundscape. Halfway through, the arrangement suddenly swells with restless beats before later breaking down with a quiet coda. But despite the overhauled approach, this track isn't too radical of a departure from the original, as the melodies are preserved.

In a statement, 3D said, "It was a good opportunity to take a great song, slow it right down, remove the guitars and then scratch the clarinet backwards."

This is one of two 3D remixes of the same song that will come out on a 12-inch on July 31 through Battle Box/The Vinyl Factory. It's available to order here.
