Description
Album and composition
On this compilation is classic B-sides, live recordings and tracks find rare special pressings of the years 1992 to 1994 by Verve. Stylistically leads No Come Down the the extreme, what the The Verve EP and A Storm shown us in Heaven: Spherical soundscapes, hypnotic chants, perkussionistische rhythms, otherworldly underground moods, which here with this psychedelia of the two previous publications also those folk way of soulful spirituality of Wigan Demos ( application songs of the band for recording contract ) attends. Songs, which one sounds more clearly the influence of Funkadelic and Spacemen 3.
Gravity Grave at Glastonbury '93
A special highlight of the compilation is the live recording of "Gravity Grave". The track was recorded at the Glastonbury Festival in 1993 and also appeared at the festival sampler " In a Field of Their Own ". At the time nor as Verve the band were stolen shortly before the start of the performance instruments, so that the equipment they had to borrow short-term together. The song sounds so very brutal and hard, especially because of the sensitive electro - guitarist Nick McCabe had to work with foreign technology and natural feedback. But impressed by the strange, unfamiliar sound, and the fact that this is their first festival on such a scale, the band itself was so electrifying that they did not want from the stage. When finally symbolized the technicians, power and light simply turn off, Richard Ashcroft begins in improvised outro of Gravity Grave as a goodwill gesture to plead out, " We gotta go One minute left, come on Just one minute? ". You get the minutes, McCabe and Jones turn guitar and bass again right on Ashcroft and may again fly. The recording includes the pleading begging and finally the enthusiasm and verve ( within the meaning of the term) on the minute, which still gets the band. Here, the song reached nearly ten- minute mark.
