A Northern Soul

Product Information

Reprise - Another jam song filled with echoing voices and spacey guitar lines. This one isn't as good as Brainstorm Interlude, but it certainly captures the feeling of a drug induced daze in a 6 minute song. Sometimes good, never great In my head, I always mix up The Verve and Pulp. Both are of that very North West England sound of the 90s to early 00s that I was surrounded by as a child, being from the exact area of the world. I’m not sure I recognise any song titles from this album though, so let’s listen. I prefer the album version of "Blue", the voice buried in the instruments give me some kind of space feel. "All in the mind" and "She's a Superstar" (the extended version) are also among their best songs.

As with A Storm In Heaven, The Verve brought a seemingly conflicting bunch of inspirational figures to bear on their new work. Having looked to Dr. John for their predecessor, Peter Salisbury now immersed himself in Tiki Fulwood’s drumming on the early Funkadelic albums, along with the sonic assault of NWA drum loops. McCabe felt that his guitar reverb tapped into a “dribbling, wibbly” Barry White thing. Experimental Japanese music and Miles Davis’ post- Bitches Brew explorations filtered into the likes of “Brainstorm Interlude”’s psychedelic swamp and the heavy fuzz of “This Is Music.” It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. But the intensity took its toll on the band. Somehow, they came to the belief that 10pm at night was the only time they could capture the sounds in their collective heads. Recording until four or five in the morning, they’d sleep for 12 hours, get up and do it again. “It was all about waiting for the inspiration… And if it wasn’t there, we’d get really, really depressed,” Ashcroft would recall. “After six weeks of going up and crashing down, everything you’ve been doing takes its toll. You start losing it.”

ISBN 978-0-7893-2074-2. On Your Own - The first ballad on the album is really a preview of what would come to dominate Urban Hymns. A very pretty tune with great lyrics.

(4.5/5) Following their performance at Lollapalooza in 1994, [4] The Verve returned to their Wigan-based practice room to begin writing and recording songs for their second studio album. [5] Commenting on the effect that working in the "dark rehearsal room" had on the band's songwriting process, frontman Richard Ashcroft stated: [5] Practising in a dungeon in Wigan for this record, you're devoid of any kind of fashion, or thought of 'This is what we should be doing'. Like a band that goes into the studio and plays the music they hear in their heads rather than what they read in magazines.A Northern Soul and its B-sides carry a slight self-consciousness, to the point that they are almost too flawless, while A Storm in Heaven is beautiful because it is flawed.

Impeccable songwriting, musicianship and production. Any you know what? In spite of all this, or perhaps because of it, The Verve created an album that will be, and should be remembered for all time, because it’s simply that good. It takes a great deal of emotional strength to sit through a single album by the Verve, mostly because of the sheer intensity of their songs' subject matter.
