(The) Verve's Greatest Sound

Verve at their greatest, If you like Storm In Heaven this is even better! Watch out it will put you in a trance and then, you will be awakened by Gravity Grave live at Glastonbury 93 (track 8), Verve must have been amazing live. Anyway, if I were only going to buy two of Verve's albums they would be Storm in Heaven and this one. If you like early Verve make sure you check out The Verve [EP] too!

Shoegazing at it's best!

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.

Spaced Out

Just got it. Awesome CD. Listened to it last night twice.
