Loved the John Peel session version of this...March '92. It was faster... I remember being really disappointed when the record came out, and realized they were going to record everything slow and heavy...
first heard this on Marc Goodier Evening sessions in 1991/2 and it blew me away. Live supporting the Smashing Pumpkins at Manc Uni summer 1992. Unbelieveable. This is their best.
muchas bandas creen que tocar rapido es tocar bien, the verve es una prueba de que no siempre es nesesaria la velocidad , nick es impresionante. cheers from mexico.
is there any way i can acquire the unedited version of this song? it doesn't seem to get made anymore, it's not on the internet anywhere, not even on the itunes store. jesus.
there is a long studio version of this song that was only released on a single many years ago. a few more versions were released but were chopped by a couple of minutes.
its a joke. they were mainly using e when they were making these songs. e and other drugs helped them with their trippy sound effect. no non drug user can comprehend this music or make it at this level and fully understand it.
err, not sure I agree with yo there. The textures and ambience in the music could be interpreted from a non drug perspective with some other meaning. Anyway, drusg ruin ya if your in a popular band and traveling around on tour, kills yer really :/
Yes they are bad for you. But to understand THEIR meaning because they were on drugs such as ecstasy, it helps to actually be on the substances. I first heard them before any drug use was in me and I was just like, "this is cool mellow music." Then I had started using drugs (marijuana and ecstasy.) Listening to the Verve on these drugs really brought a new understanding to their meanings.
first time i listened to this song on the verve this is music the best of: 3 years ago, i was using drugs, and i knew things were f'cking up for me, and knew what was coming, i felt incredibly sad, the feeling got, to this day i cannott describe, it was err... unholy.
I know the feeling. I have been there after the abuse hurts you. I have been through periods of sobriety when I can think about it and feel the effects a little. However now I have figured out that moderation is the key. The members of the Verve have all been through this themselves as well.
well if i think about the effects of marijuana then i can sorta feel/slash/imagine the effects, and feel myself becoming slightly psychotic, same with lsd, if I stare at the same thing for more than 3 minutes I can almost imagine it about to change into something else. the very last time i had acid i was watchin g the football, and i was on the tv playing in defense, and WII was happening outside, seriously, thats f'cked yup.
The last time I picked shrooms was oct'06- i had 1,000 lib. caps, and brewed 5 litres of the stuff... i just had two glasses, and in 45 mins, the sofa had eyes and a mouth, so did the rug, and it was dancing- i looked in the mirror and was turning into a 42 year old man- the ran to the sink and the entire kitchen was dancing- the taps were turning into elephants- i put my hand as far down my throat as poss, and was vomiting up water whihc looked like blood
Oh that;s nothing- the other time I had 6 litres of the stuff- i was on the train... saw purple women with six arms chasing me and policemen as well, all the colours on the train started to melt, and my arse felt like it was sinking to the bottom of the train and onto da tracks- a man turned around to ask me if I was ok, and it was a pink goat
man i cant wait to hear nick play again! and with Richards words they are the best british band. They have the potential to be one of the biggest in the world!
Bring it on, hope they can do it as they did before. The talent they have is immense, its just a wait-and -see now to see if they can do it again. All decent fans are in for a treat now i think.
One of our biggest influences. Helped inspire us to create "the music you dream to," with dreamy, ethereal layered guitars and hypnotic bass. Come check us out at myspace
We hope someone will post live versions of "Space and Time" and "Blue"! Please let us know if you do,
Ahh leave the guy alone; at least he's passionate enough to start his own band let alone be inspired by arguably the second greatest Britpop band to come out of the 90's behind Oasis.
Hello all you beautiful people that have posted comments here. I have been describing Verve's sound as "dreamy guitars" for years. I agree with you all, the music Verve made during this period(92-94) was very special.
They were like a shooting star streaking high across a clear night sky, so beautiful, so full of light and energy . . . and so destined to come crashing to earth.
This was a beautiful era in 'rock' music. It was truly the last peak in pop/rock music with Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Lush, The Verve, The Black Crowes at their peak, etc, etc.
"McCabe always preferred keyboards to guitars".. he was the mad one if u ask me, what a waste of talent. This is GREAT! shame so pixelated, but even so.. thanks shoegaze!!
possibly my favorite verve recording - same as heard on voyager one. listen to mad richard scream. mccabe generates waves of sound. unbelievable! they were never the same after nick left the band.
THanks for sharing.
A magical moment from a better time.
Needless to say this is a classic anthem for psychedelic journeys.
Peace to all beings in the universe <3
