Wasting no time in the wake of the Gallagher brothers sudden 2009 implosion, Sony released the deluxe Time Flies 1994-2009 retrospective in the summer of 2010, just in time for the 15th anniversary of (What`s the Story) Morning Glory? The driving idea behind Time Flies is to collect all 27 of Oasis` British A-sides, a simple idea that would seem to fit one of the great singles band, but sticking to the singles winds up leaving many great songs behind, including their manifesto "Rock & Roll Star," "Champagne Supernova," the lovely "Talk Tonight," and Noel and Liam`s duet "Acquiesce," among many tremendous B-sides, "(What`s the Story) Morning Glory" and "Champagne Supernova," to name a few. The latter is added to the U.S. version, since it was an actual hit in America (the U.S. version does not contain "Sunday Morning Call"), but it doesn`t change the fact that Time Flies winds up missing more staples than it should.enough to make it miss the definitive designation it should carry. Nevertheless, Time Flies is a better overview than 2006`s Stop the Clocks, of which it shares ten tracks (11 in the U.S. incarnation) and not just because it`s more generous by a measure of almost ten tracks. Time Flies does a better job of rounding up the highlights from their patchy turn-of-the-millennium albums -- actually, it emphasizes Heathen Chemistry almost a bit too much, with its five tracks outweighing the number of selections from Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory -- and has space for selections from their smashing final album Dig Out Your Soul, including sneaking on "Lord Don`t Slow Me Down," which makes its album debut here along with the 1994 Christmas single "Whatever." All that`s enough to make this the Oasis comp of choice until the definitive collection comes around. [Time Flies is improved considerably in its deluxe edition which is the U.K. double-disc expanded by a third disc containing a concert from The Roundhouse in London on July 21, 2009 and a DVD containing all of the band`s music videos with commentary. The live show was recorded just weeks before Noel and Liam`s final blow-out and proves that the band was far from tuckered out; they still packed a wallop. But the DVD is the real news: of all the Brit-pop titans of the `90s, Oasis was the only one without a home video collection of their videos, and this has them all, including clips made for the U.S., and that`s enough of a treat even without the tantalizing bonus of Noel and Liam commentary.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
