This U.K. quartet specializes in oceanic, wall-of-sound guitar pop that frequently takes off on long, trippy adventures. You will hear nods to acoustic Led Zeppelin and beat-crazed Stone Roses on this neatly packaged, 49-minute companion volume to A Storm In Heaven, but The Verve excel at a stoned, shimmering intensity all its own. --Jeff Bateman

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.

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!

Verve is a band that invented the most complex orquestration of the four modern electric instruments: guitar, bass,drum and keybord. listen to their 93'b-side(their b-sides are always better than a-sides)'No Come Down'. it's simple, but it's complex at the deepest sense by any means.you can be familiar with the song within one listening, but after 100 listenings, you still can't dig out all the orquestration they put in it. that's the magic: bass-lines just vibrate, guitar floating in the space,drums in the edge of sleeping and wakeup, and the keybords add some killer efects when your heart is in a really indefensive state...in front of Verve,all you can do is wait, wait them to descompose you, in the most musical mean.
well, i think there are really few british bands can match Verve, but Charlatans and Primal Scream may deserve a try.

Please listen to the S.J's bass lines in the first track. as i put in the review of the UH, S.J is the best artist of this band. his bass lines really tell me something. i don't know what but you know, the music die when you can describe it with words, as the music is other dimention of the words, if you can replace it by other medium, then it just lose its reason of existence. ok, just try this album, it's good enough to say 'WO!'
