The Verve "A Northern Soul" (1995)
Okay, I have to admit that my only real experience with the Verve was
the "Urban Hymns" album. This whole psychedelic rock with hints of
droney shoegaze took me (pleasantly) by surprise.
There are some almost dance-influenced beats like on "Life's an Ocean",
mixed with the noisy wash of guitar that is reminiscent of bands from My
Bloody Valentine, Ride and maybe the Happy Mondays.
The long, slow moody mellow atmospheric "Drive you home" is quite dreamy and wonderful.
The band broke up after this, but reformed and hit new commercial heights.
