I am a big, bif fan of Urban Hymns and was so excited to see a new release from the Verve. Just brilliant work again from these guys. If you are a Verve fan you must get this! Just love the mix of guitars, strings and piano on the songs. It is different from other Verve albums but I recommend it highly.

As weird as it may sound, it took me probably 10 years to really appreciate this album. It is not that I did not like it at first. I really liked it after a couple of listens and afterwards I still really liked it. However, looking back at the type of songs that this album features makes me think this album is just beyond words. I would put this album as the best all time only if they included "The Rolling People" and "Let The Damage Begin" on this because they were also written, I believe, during these sessions. So many unbelievable rocking and tripped out tracks on this album such as "This Is Music", "A New Decade", "Life's An Ocean", "Stormy Clouds" and the reprise. "Life's An Ocean" is just one of the greatest songs ever written. And also their best live song in my opinion. It also has great softer ... Read More

The Verve was a British band of the 1990's who have since broken up. On this CD we have 14 of the best Verve songs from their era of existence 1992-98. I really like this album and am awarding it 4.5 stars. I first heard of this band in June 1997 when staying in London, when their justly-famous and classic song Bittersweet Symphony made the UK top 5 . Even better was the achingly-beautiful yet despairing lament The Drugs Don't Work, which reached #1 on the UK chart in September 1997. I was working as a locum doctor in a psychiatric clinic at the time in Birmingham, England, and could really relate to the heartfelt pain that this song evokes, yet it has one of the most beautiful of melodies. Third song Lucky Man was also fantastic, as was the fourth song: Sonnet. All these were off the 1997 album Urban Hymns. After really ... Read More

Every track on this album is beautiful. The best track probably being the intense version of "Gravity Grave" live from the Glastonbury Festival in '93(Speaking of this track, you can find a three minute video excerpt of this track from the Festival on the Glastonbury the Movie DVD.Very Cool). This EP is better than the Verve EP because the tracks sound better and more developed. A Storm in Heaven is a perfect companion CD to this album. In fact, if you really wanna have the true early Verve experience put both albums on one disc and prepare to sway. If you dig this album then go out and get A Northern Soul, if you haven't already, and prepare for a sonic assualt mixed with classic Verve-style spaciness. Then, if you must, buy Urban Hymns. Don't get me wrong, this album is good, but it lacks early Verve tendencies and sounds really poppy.

REMINDS ME OF PINK FLOYD'S UMMAGUMMA AND ATOM HEART MOTHER (ONLY THE SPACY SECTIONS)

Released in 1992, this is the Verve's first significant release. It is an EP and is only 30 minutes long (I generally knock down EP's by a star, because they aren't good values).

This is churning guitar driven space rock. It reminds of the spacier parts of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother. However it has more of an ambient sound.

The music here is a lot like the Verve's first full length album, A Storm in Heaven (although that one is more along the lines of Pink Floyd's More).

The only real problem with this EP is that it is not very distinctive and sounds a lot like A Storm In Heaven. I played this CD right after A Storm In Heaven, and thought that I accidently played the same CD twice. I ... Read More
