书籍简介

“所有乐队都有不同的风格。我从来没想过 Oasis 会有什么样子。其他人有，这很酷。但我每天都会把音乐放在运动鞋上。运动鞋可以穿六个月。旋律永远存在。” ——Noel Gallagher

“作为标志性摄影师、冒险爱好者和内部目击者，Kevin Cummins 总是在文化活动发生的地方。” —— Paul Morley

“Cummins，典型的曼彻斯特人，将艺术与美好时光、美感相结合，这解释了 Liam 和 Noel 身穿曼城球衣的标志性照片：令人难忘、定义性的图像。” —— Miranda Sawyer，《观察家报》

“在过去的半个世纪里，没有人比 Kevin Cummins 更能生动地捕捉到英国另类音乐的面貌。” —— Simon Armitage

乐队是如何诞生的？塑造他们的声音、外观和身份的无数力量是什么？1993 年，Oasis 与 Creation Records 签约，并很快开始录制他们的一张专辑。次年，乐队制定了一项总体规划，成立了绿洲乐队。这项事业的核心人物是知名摄影师凯文·康明斯，他帮助乐队找到了适合他们风格的外观。在《绿洲乐队：总体规划》中，我们跟随康明斯拍摄乐队的照片，了解他们如何巩固自己的身份。

诺埃尔·加拉格尔对足球、时尚和音乐的看法以及他对那年成长经历的回忆与康明斯本人的回忆如出一辙。从始至终，我们都能看到绿洲乐队如何玩转时尚，在他们即将发行一张专辑《Definitely Maybe》的那个夏天，他们学会了如何摆姿势和展示自己。从那一刻起，故事就广为人知。这本书收录了 75% 从未公开过的照片，揭示了总体规划是如何有效地让他们达到这一目标的。

'All bands have a different style. I never thought Oasis had a look. Other people did and that's cool. But I'll put tunes over trainers every day. Trainers last for six months. The melodies live forever.' Noel Gallagher

'As iconic photographer, adventurous fan and inside eye-witness, Kevin Cummins has always been where the cultural action is.' Paul Morley

"Cummins, typical Manc, combining art with a good time, a sense of beauty, which explains the iconic shots of Liam and Noel in Man City shirts: memorable, defining images." - Miranda Sawyer, Observer

'No one has captured the look of alternative UK music over the past half a century more tellingly than Kevin Cummins.' Simon Armitage

How does a band come into being? What are the myriad forces that shape their sound, look and identity? In 1993, Oasis signed to Creation Records and were shortly to begin recording their first album. The following year began with a masterplan - the creation of Oasis. At the centre of this enterprise was celebrated photographer Kevin Cummins, brought on board to help the band find a look that fitted their sound. In Oasis: The Masterplan we follow Cummins as he photographs the band as they cement their identity.

Noel Gallagher's thoughts on football, fashion and music and his recollections of that formative year sit alongside those of Cummins himself. Throughout, we see how Oasis played with fashion and were taught how to pose and present themselves as they approached the summer when their first album, Definitely Maybe was released. The story from that moment on is well-known. Featuring 75% previously unseen images the book reveals just how effective the masterplan was to get them to that point.
