Product Description
This Is Music: The Singles: 92 – 98 represents a landmark collection of releases from one of the most celebrated British bands of the last decade, The Verve. Richard Ashcroft and his reformed band of northern souls stood astride the mid-nineties like a colossus, after finally producing the masterpiece that everyone knew they were capable of (1997's Urban Hymns). A collection of their most successful work is long overdue, particularly with Ashcroft's solo career stalled after two below average efforts.
This rolls out the singles from their three albums, early EPs and the obligatory new tracks too, both unreleased from the Urban Hymns sessions. Interesting though these collector's items are, the real treasure lies in simply rediscovering, like Suede, what a great singles band they were. Witness the grandeur and scope of "History" – with it's epic (if overdone) strings and classic Ashcroft delivery or the genuine melancholy of "The Drugs Don't Work." They became, as Oasis and the Stone Roses did, a band of the people; of the nation. The era-defining "Bittersweet Symphony", grand without the Gallagher's arrogance, somehow intellectual in place of their brutish stupidity, didn't so much carve The Verve a path as stomp one through the crowd. --Ben Johncock
