My band Shader recorded at the Verve’s bassist Simon Jones studio near Chester.. We got to use all the Verve’s gear from A Northern Soul & Urban Hymn’s .. mind blowing experience..Si is a top bloke and bass player..we had some great chats about the early years of his band. One of the great bands with a natural musical chemistry for groove and sonic guitar soundscapes 🔥

Those first two Verve albums and the accompanying b-sides are phenomenal. I remember early Verve supporting Spiritualized in Norwich but I was too young to go, that must have been one of the most incredible gigs of all time! Luckily I got to see both of them in 97, Verve's set was mostly A Northern Soul and a Storm In Heaven with Bittersweet Symphony, Drugs Don't Work, Rolling People and Come on thrown in, one of the best gigs I've ever seen, transcendental!

May 8th 1992. SPIRITUALIZED. THE VERVE. NORWICH UEA. May 8th 1992 Remains THE Greatest Night Of My Life. I Was With 2 Friends That Night. My Friend "J" Was On Acid. My Other Friend "A" Was Drunk And I Was Stoned On Dope. We Experienced 3 Radically Different SPIRITUALIZED Performances. However All 3 Of Us Were Rendered Completely Speechless During Our Walk Back To The Car And Drive Home From The UEA To The Outskirts Of Norwich. I Think It Was Approximately 30 Minutes Before Any One Of Us Uttered A Word. PS We All Went On To Take More Acid At The End Of That Night. An Unforgettable Experience. I've Seen SPIRITUALIZED 17 Times Over My Lifetime And Remain My Favourite Band Of All Time. THE VERVE Are Fantastic But SPIRITUALIZED Are Something Else. PS For 10 Of The Greatest Nights Of My Life SPIRITUALIZED Have Been In The Room. For 3 Of 5 Of Those Greatest Nights Of My Life My Ex Girlfriend ( Now Close Friend ) Michelle Was There Too. In Fact On Friday Just Gone We Were Discussing Our Experiences At Said SPIRITUALIZED Gigs. Michelle Also Revealed That She Wants The Song LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE Played At Her Funeral. At My Own Funeral I Want SPIRITUALIZED's LAZER GUIDED MELODIES Played In Full. The Entire 61m04s Of It Along With SAM COOKE's A CHANGE IS GONNA COME And RADIOHEAD's PYRAMID SONG. If You Get A Chance Please Respond To This Message With Your Very Own FUNERAL Selections. PS J SPACEMAN Wants ETTA JAMES' AT LAST Played At His. I Expect RICHARD ASHCROFT Will Have CHRIS BELL's I AM THE COSMOS Played At His. BTW I Feel Your Pain In Missing SPIRITUALIZED In 1992 ( Being So Young ). An Utter Tragedy. SPIRITUALIZED Were Booked To Play The UEA Again In 1993 And Failed To Arrive On The Night. We Were Waiting Outside For Hours Too. I Was Absolutely Brokenhearted. I Sincerely Hope You Were Able To Catch SPIRITUALIZED At Some Point In Your Life ( Hopefully Pre 2003 ). They're One Hell Of A LIVE Experience. THE Greatest !. :) Love All Around. Long May Your Good Ship Sail "Lenin McCarthy". The Ghost Of Jeffrey Cat. xx xx

Not only is this album a dense and dark masterpiece, but the accompanying b-sides from the same period are _Masterplan_ level of quality. I can't think of many rock albums from the 90s that hit home more lyrically, particularly as a conflicted teenager growing up, often carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

This album hit me hard when I was 17. Wallowing in the sheer misery of it. Still listening to it 25 years later! I always thought McCabe and Jones had great chemistry - I love the interplay between guitar and bass on tracks like Drive You Home and So It Goes - but you’re right that Richard had a raw, powerful voice full of pain at this point. Definitely my favourite Verve album. Reprise is an incredible final track.

Loving the video Justin. Little story... The vending machine of feelings. I used to work with someone who was mates with The Verve at college. He was the only one with a house so you can imagine the stories and how much they relied on his roof. Anyway one of the things was storing things and the vending machine was one. It lived in his garage for 20 years. Sadly not too long ago he sold it to, I think it was the album artwork designer, the name escapes me for not very much in my humble opinion. I begged him to keep hold of it. I would have bought it myself if I wasn't earning peanuts. My work mate raved about Nick McCabe, said he was so underrated. He used to play with a "tape loop echo effect" as he put it. Sounds insane. Top album

Those songs have much more depth and meaning than what you hear played on the radio. I think many people (especially these days with streaming) don't realize what they are missing by only listening to singles. There can be some gems on an album that they miss out on by not taking time to fully listen all the way through. And I really must give this album a good listen. Thanks for the recommendation. 😊

So glad to see the ❤ shown for this album. In Canada, "On Your Own" got some mild rotation as the single. I was fortunate to see them just following the release of A Storm In Heaven on the side stage at Lollapalooza. You knew then that they had something special. But then came this record. The musicianship paired with some interesting production choices (especially the on the verge drum track on Life's An Ocean) made for one stellar sonic journey. What I most enjoyed is after getting intimately familiar with the album was hearing it pulled off live with such finesse. I don't think the band ever got their due in terms of their live shows and how they could bring that same spirit to it.

Thanks Justin, It’s one of my favorite albums, I love it so much and have done since I bought it when it first came out. Ashcroft tapped into something powerful and personal which certainly reflected a lot of the band’s audience of that time. It still stands up today and it’s lyrical theme’s of existential despair and searching for hope is ultimately uplifting and a very rewarding listen. Then there is the rest of the band who created that sound/magic. They were all great musicians that played like a group. McCabe is a genius with a guitar. Strangely enough, I’ve been putting together a play list from the 92’ until 95’ period including stand alone singles and great “B-Sides”. Remember them? The Verve were great from the very start.

Justin , I absolutely fucking love your channel fella which is now a must watch most nights before my slumbers, much like a comforting world service broadcast. Only...its you ,and your especially pertinent tastes and critiques ;to my own. Long may you go on, and... it would be great if you could elaborate on the guitar tutorial aspects of your fab show...maybe like an appendix to each one. Much love Bryan x

2:50 There's no way I'm going to be able to listen to 'A New Decade' again without hearing your wobble-singing! (And, surely, the Brian Ferry reference was prompted by the 'If love is a drug...' lyric in 'This is Music'.) 12:05 Richard Ashcroft's painting and decorating company went bust because he bought excessive amounts of paint. Too much emulsion, apparently... It's great to hear you're so passionate about one of my favourite albums as well - and pleasantly surprising: I didn't have you down as a Verve fan. I have to say I've always preferred 'A Storm in Heaven' but this is still great. They had a strange career in reverse, I've always felt: they started experimental (even making saxophones sound great on a rock album) and became more mainstream with each album. I even thought 'A Northern Soul' was too mainstream when it came out, and missed out on getting one of the cardboard sleeves that were first released! I've regretted it ever since.

One of the best, most underrated, bands of the modern era. I was fortunate enough to see them during one of their rare US tours at the Mayan Theater in LA in '97. Amazing show.

All of the band are on fire buts it’s a guitar masterclass. I’m sure I read that Nick McCabe did a lot of the tracks in one take, and when asked to do another, he would ask why.

Owen Morris (producer) said he was probably the most gifted musician he'd ever worked with, also a nightmare to get to play anything the same twice.

I feel so lucky to have seen many of these tracks live when The Verve 'supported' Oasis at Earl's Court on their Be Here Now tour. It's funny how the press are banging on about the anniversary of Be Here Now this week and all I can think of is The Verve. When they left the stage that night, I remember turning to my friend and saying "how can you follow that?" We both knew we'd witnessed something special. Both A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns masterpieces and History, lyrically, is probably some of Ashcroft's best songwriting. So, so glad you did this video, thank you!

Saw The Verve (which they had to change to 'The Verve UK' because of Verve Records in North America) in 1993 when they were touring A Storm In Heaven. Richard Ashcroft came out in his bare feet and gave it his all in this tiny little Vancouver, BC, venue called the Town Pump, where I was fortunate enough to see so many great artists - from Spiritualized to Acetone to Goldie doing a DJ set and so many more. A Northern Soul came out a couple of years later and it was on repeat in my car for months. Great album full of depth, musically and lyrically.

Ever since I moved from Singapore to Finland about 5 years ago, I can listen to THIS album from start to finish on my long winter walks. It's just PERFECTION. Especially during the long, cold and dark nordic winters. Urban Hymns doesn't have that magic that Northern Soul has. Just my opinion.

This album was way ahead of its time. Like miles ahead and I think it was not given enough credit. Owen Morris almost had a complete breakdown recording it saying he would never wanna go through this chaos again (little did he know what would happen years later with wtsmg recording sessions...). It was recorded basically from dusk to dawn everyday and you cam feel it. Lyrically is superb.

Speaking of Northern Bands, I'd love you to cover Doves someday (if you haven't already). Absolutely underrated in the scope of Manchester music but they released Lost Souls, which I think is the best Manchester record released in the past 30 years.
