Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.

Admittedly it does sound a little flat production-wise in the same way that other Live recordings do. In addition, the DVDs and blu-ray include both nights edited by Dick Carruthers with audio mixed by Will Shapland in Dolby 5.I'm sort of hoping it is the start of pulling out a lot more Oasis stuff from the archives, a proper reissue of Standing on the Shoulders and Heathen Chemistry, maybe a proper reissue on Blur Ray of Familiar to Millions.

Why you need it: It’s just as ballsy as the final version, but has a rawer, amateurish feel to it that we’re totally digging. A routinely great artist, much of Sufjan's universal appeal comes from his skills as a gifted narrator, pairing personal musings on love and devotion with commentary on American culture, whilst welding folk and electronica, the ambient and existential. I've always found Squire's additions to be largely reminiscent of a "baggy Jimmy Page" without any attempt to give it any melody or crescendo that song really needs.

As the band and reminiscing punters assert here rather too often and too strenuously, with 125,000 people on each night, these were the biggest ever outdoor concerts in the UK (except 1970’s Isle of Wight festival was considerably bigger) and they could never happen again (except when Robbie Williams outdid Oasis with three nights at Knebworth in 2003).

Released alongside the cinema debut of the feature length documentary film of the event, ‘Oasis Knebworth 1996’ is the definitive live recording featuring a setlist packed with stone cold classics album taken from across both nights of the concert, from the opening salvoes of ‘Columbia’ and ‘Acquiesce’, to ‘Champagne Supernova’, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’, ‘Live Forever’, an orchestra backed ‘I Am The Walrus’, and ‘Wonderwall’ the first song from the 1990’s to reach over one billion streams on Spotify and universally loved anthem.
