Free Music Review: BEST ALBUM OF THE NEW DECADE
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the resurrection of the best most unknown band of the last decade.
If you want to blow your mind escape from the horse latitudes of 3 minute top ten made for radio hits. Tune into this collection it will change the way you listen to music and see life.
The band has grown so much since their previous work. Ash sings will so much force and strength, the orchestrations are magical, the rtyhem of Sepo and Jones is rythmic genious and maestro Mcabe on the les Paul rocking the heavens.
The highlights
Sit and Wonder- " Give me Some Light...."
Guitar chords like lighting strikes coming out of storm of inner turmoil mesh with rumble in the jungle rhythms, Ash enters the fray urgent crying for the light in this dark number of temptation. This one will bring you in to the storm.
Love is Noise- " I was blind now I see.."
Think George Clinton & chic meets Pink Floyd on the dance floor. There are vocal loops relaying "ooh and ah ah;s" cascading guitars, high hats syncopated drums and four to floor base lines, ash's deep growl singing with the urgency to be saved. Some of the strongest lyrics referencing Aldous Huxley 1950's Wigan " See the bright prosaic malls, walk on soles made in China". This is the blues for the dance floor. This will get your hear racing mind going.
Judas "got to let it go"
Cant help it but this the 21st century "Man called Sun" one for a sunset high on a mountain peak. Mcabe takes this one dropping guitar riffs like a water fall cascading. Ash singing the soul over a feathering rhythm section this one will take you to the promise land. transcendental.
I see houses
At first listen this one will not blow you away. By your third listen you will be singing along the Chorus: I get this feeling that I have been here before how many live must I waste how many tears must I taste before my freedom comes..This one builds with psychedelic brushes of guitar crescendo with a piano eastern flow and jones and sepo holding up the groove.
Noise Epic "Find some peace today"
A song of EPIC proportions. Jim Morrison meets Pink Floyd. Ash does a spoken work spiritual monologue over a frenetic base line and Bone Crusher Guitar riff, The boys let this one breathe. Verve at their Jamming best, Turn it up Loud and Rock till the dawn....EPIC
Valium Skies "she got all I need the air I breathe."
Reminds of the beautiful B-Side Grey Skies with a tinge of Lucky Man. I think single number 2. Just simply a beautiful song flowing gently like a cloud across the universe. Strings harmonies melodies and a simple groove take the listener to that higher place toward the Valium Skies
Columbo-"watch the lights go down over this town"
This one has is takes you a journey through space and time. The song opens with Ash in Falsetto with mystic mysterious out of the shadows groove reminds "All in the Mind". The song builds with McAbe adding the elixir to the groove. Mind bending bass line, bouncing back a forth between drum and guitar brush and brawl of psychedelia. Mcabe takes over at takes from the bridge to another place so Pink Floyd the Wall. Turn the lights down low light the candles. Ash and Mcabe take over this number with sepo and Jones providing the bridge for ash to free flow and McAbe to provide the lush landscape guitar shooting stars into the sky above.
Appalachian Springs "Solitude a Sacred Mood, A Step to Left A Step to the Right I keep it together"
The Last and Greatest Verve Song of all time closes out this epic set. This song about solitude and self examination spiritual growth reveals some of Ash's most urgent, personal and strongest lyrics. This one he pours out his soul. Mcabe is at his side pouring out churning guitars guitars. Sepo and Jones got his back. A boxer in the ring trying to outbox himself weaving the left and right. The band builds this one the massive wall of sound, drops to strip down groove, slowly closes the door, and leaves you there in your dream...
Thanks Lads For You Musical Brillance
Think P-Funk George Clinton meets Led Zepplin
Forth Poster
Something happens when the Verve are together that none of them experience when they are apart. Individually, the Verve are all highly-accomplished players. Singer Richard Ashcroft has been called the greatest singer in the world by no less a peer than Coldplay s Chris Martin. Liverpool-born Simon Jones s dub-informed bass takes the Verve s music far beyond rock and into space and dub; Peter Salisbury plays drums more like a jazz great than a conventional rock drummer and when the tag guitarist of his generation is thrown about it often lands at the feet of the hugely adventurous, psychedelic, exploratory Nick McCabe. However, when they are together a chemistry takes hold that transcends the four people onstage to blast the Verve somewhere else entirely and this chemistry and spontaneity has survived an absence of almost a decade. Already, since their typically unpredictable 2007 reunion, live shows have been running the gauntlet of everything from material so new that Ashcroft has been singing the words from scraps of paper to long-lost, hazy B-sides like Let The Damage Begin and A Man Called Sun, amid all manner of musical fireworks. When they take the stage, literally anything can happen.After an absence of almost a decade, these songs are again being played, as they should be by the Verve themselves. The individual members have not been slouches. Richard Ashcroft has enjoyed a successful and prolific solo career. Simon Jones formed a band, the Shining, who were not altogether dissimilar to the Verve, and has played with Damon Albarn s Gorillaz. Nick McCabe has been remixing and playing with everyone from the Beta Band to John Martyn while Peter Salisbury has been playing with Ashcroft, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and has further diverted his musical obsessions into running a Stockport drum shop. However, all seem to have realized what their enormous fanbase has been telling them all along. That today, as much if not more than ever, music really needs the Verve.
However, a band like the Verve would never settle for easy nostalgia. Even before they d set out on their initial comeback gigs last year, which sold out within an astonishing 20 minutes, they made public (via the NME website) the results of their very first jam session as a reformed band. The Thaw Sessions comprised 14 wondrous minutes of music, which signified their ability to spark off one another remained undimmed. Soon afterwards, the band debuted new song Sit And Wonder a tune trimmed from a 25-minute jam, just as they would in the early days, a taste of things to come. Those comeback dates proved so successful and were so enthusiastically received that the band immediately embarked on a full-scale tour of arenas in December of 2007, playing bigger gigs in many cases than the first time around. In 2008, they look set to up the ante even further, by appearing at many of the major festivals and, in a turnaround that would have seemed unthinkable even a year ago, releasing their enormously-anticipated fourth album. The results will certainly be worth the wait. - Dave Simpson.
