A Northern Soul is being remastered on vinyl for release in late August. Could cd remasters be far away? If its vinyl only, im gonna be pissed off. Vinyls great and everything, but some of us dont own vinyl players or find them convenient. |

Forget Richard solo, THIS IS MUSIC!!!  |

For those that don't know, Richard released a music video for the remix of 'Hold On'......Jesus fucking Christ.

I feel like I'm unnecessarily putting this off topic, but was there not rumours about a Verve reunion last year? Something like Nick McCabe and Ashcroft had made up with each other (again).
Listening to Hold On and I'm not keen. I'd love to see McCabe and co lay down a track and Ashcroft sing over the top of it again, because as I said previously, I actually thought Forth was pretty good.

A the Verve reunion would probably be the best thing to happen, at least musically. If they were able to put their differences aside and actually get on with each other, this would be heaven. I'm really looking forward to Richard's solo album, but what we've heard so far mainly made me sentimental. Not because I thought it was bad, but it just isn't great or good enough to make me not miss the Verve - which I hoped it would be. But let's wait for the album to be released...

I recall Nick saying something like 'it's up to Richard', as in it's his call, but he never got in contact. There were rumours of a Northern Soul aniversary tour, but obviously never happened. Judging by the state of Richards ego right now, there wont be another reunion. He obviously prefers to produce mediocre output to amazing Verve music. And yeah, Forth was great. |

I think one of the reasons why these new Verve remasters are coming out now, could be due to Nicks financial situation. Seeing him have to sell his old guitars on Facebook last year was pretty sad, and I hope he gets a good salary from these new releases. I might be wrong, but good on him for doing it anyway.

This really should happen, but then there's Richard being a dick in interviews; and Nick (obviously upset) hitting back on his Facebook page the last few days/weeks. Very sad. |

Oh yeah, what's been said? From the same thread: "I should just sit in dignified silence. That would be the cool thing to do. I'm not that guy though. Hmm, if we're going to bury the Verve maybe we should do it in full frontal acrimony.... Got knows the real story is a fun one... No. No matter what shit has been stank about since, the music, the commitment, the fans still deserve respect. I would be very sad, were it not for the fact that my output visible or not, brings me more joy and satisfaction by the year. Harping on about history is for those who are stuck there. Kind of sick of being dragged back into it. Long live James, apparently." Interesting comment about the reunion while making UH: "My instructions were "fuck it up". I didn't, I'm a Lindsay Buckingham fan, I took that approach. Slightly fucked up but with taste. Basically, I think he panicked about having the kind of material that sounds like... well, his solo output. It got to a point where UH had just plateaued. Bittersweet was a locked loop that went nowhere, lucky man had some great Tongy lines but if was lumpy. His hubris hadn't kicked enough then to realise that releasing it as it was simply wasn't going to wash. Like I say, he WAS at the top of his game then, and a Brian Wilson or whoever he wants to name check will realise - "you know what, I need X or y to come and bring this to wee tune to life". In this case he was writing with a sound in mind and he'd sacked the guy who made that sound - but he wasn't too big to swallow his pride and ring sacked guy. I suppose it's an idea most find anachronistic and seemingly he also now, but you know, whatever the music takes is what it takes. Obviously he retrospectively wishes Urban Hymns was more like Keys To The World and hadn't taken over dim and distant 1997, you know that big year for britpop solo balladeers." |

Nick pretty much summed up everything we've been saying.

What information do we have about the Verve reissues? Just the 4CD ASIH and 3CD ANS from the post up top (thanks for that info!)?

What's the deal with Dicky and his interviews? I'm only a casual Verve fan and have only lately been watching a few of his interviews. He comes across as a complete wanker who thinks he some sort of God (possibly even more than Noel!)?!

He comes across as a complete wanker who thinks he some sort of God (possibly even more than Noel!)?! I used to really enjoy his interviews, especially around 2002, he was really interesting to listen to and informative. Now he's so self indulgent and takes himself so seriously its almost cringeworthy. I could forgive him if he was putting out a new masterpiece of an album, but he's not. |

Why isn't he singing the "I got no ransom, I had my chance man" bit in live versions of This Is How It Feels? The best part of the song and he ignores it live. Strange.

Kind of off track but is Nick basically saying the rest of the band papered over what were fairly standard tunes (aside from the traditional Verve stuff like Rolling People etc) to sound exceptional on Urban Hymns? |
