About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Whereas future Verve masterpieces A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns would feature succinct song structures (for the most part) and instantly memorable verses and choruses, the group's 1993 full-length debut, A Storm in Heaven, was based on buoyant, extended psychedelic passages. Looking back today, it was an interesting and original musical direction, since at the time, angst-ridden Seattle bands (and their many copycats) were all the rage. While a few songs hint at the Verve's future penchant for composing pop gems ("Make It Till Monday," "Blue," "Butterfly"), many of the longer tracks are just as strong, especially the album's best track, the hauntingly beautiful "Already There." Also featured was the album-opening space rocker "Star Sail," the shifting moods of "Slide Away," the misty "Beautiful Mind," and the stark closer, "See You in the Next One (Have a Good Time)." A fine debut, A Storm in Heaven proved to be the important connection between the Verve's expansive early work (1992's self-titled EP) and their later worldwide pop hits. Greg Prato, All Music Guide

December 17, 2001: i listen to this album to lull me to sleep most nights, not that it's boring or light. on the contrary it flows like an intense dream where you're not sure what's real and what's fantasy! both the lyrics and music are pure poetry and complement each other perfectly. the guitars move like the currents in a vast ocean and richard's far away vocals soar above the waves!

December 08, 2000: If you're into psychedelic, cascading music this is the CD for you. Most of the songs are luxuriously crafted but it's definitely not for somebody who's into ''easy listening.'' Some reviewers might dub this album as ''dreamy'' or ''soft''. I assure you, the music is much more visceral and dynamic than one might think.
