The Verve

The quintessential Verve record. Over the course of the two epic tracks which comprise this EP, the band truly comes into its own -- Richard Ashcroft sings like a man possessed and Nick McCabe's guitar is positively oceanic, producing tidal waves of drone which crash and break over the hypnotically liquid rhythms of Simon Jones and Peter Salisbury. Exquisitely produced by Barry Clempson, both "She's a Superstar" and "Feel" generate a dreamlike beauty, tapping into an energy just outside of the realm of consciousness -- it's music which transcends space and time, with a purity unmatched by anything else in the Verve catalog. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
