WOW!! what a cool album cover!
Brilliant? That's a strong word. Have you heard Simple Minds' "Alive & Kicking"? Maybe it's just me.... YouTube - Simple Minds "Alive and kicking"
man, their glastonbury set must've been an absolute riot. watching it now... brilliant. what a great band.
Is Mover still avaliable? I wanna download it but cant find it.
"It's more than a mover"
Id recommend you get, Life's An Ocean, Stormy Clouds, She's A Superstar, Beautiful Mind, Already There.
See what you think of them!
Christ almighty.
How the fuck did I ever miss this band?
I haven't paid for a physical copy of a CD since I bought The Best of The Allman Brothers Band off Amazon on Boxing Day 2005, but I'm going to get Forth the day it comes out.
Seriously, I haven't loved everything I've heard by a band since I was probably 16. Fuck.
I don't know, how could you??Christ almighty.

Anyway, I digress with the rambling. Point is, it's just fucking GREAT when you're discovering a band. It's almost like falling in love...
Christ almighty.

Just saw them live, absolutely incredible band
what and where? details man details stat!!!!!!!!!!!!! spill it!
Oxegen music festival, the co-headlined the Saturday night with R.E.M., got about an hour and 20 minutes on stage; I'm pretty sure they played the exact same set as they did at Glastonbury, and they played it just as well. I don't have any pictures because I was too caught up in the moment to change the batteries in my camera
I don't think I have read every post in this thread so I apologize if this has been asked before but... what's the best place to start with this band? The Singles collection? Urban Hymns? something else?
PS: I only know Bittersweet Symphony. I do have one other song from Hymns I think but it's somewhat unmemorable to me.
it's just incredible how many brilliant songs they've written, considering they only released one album proper.
If you know Bittersweet Symphony and like that then start with Urban Hymns, it also contains most of their other hits like 'The Drug's Don't Work', 'Lucky Man' and 'Sonnet'.
If you then like that get their 'A Northern Soul' and 'A Storm In Heaven' Albums, followed by the 'She's A Superstar', 'Gravity Grave' and 'All In The Mind' singles.
After you've got those you'll be well on your way with your Verve collection.
oh wow! that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally understand about the pics...
how was REM?
