Something happens when the Verve are together that none of them <br />
experience when they are apart. Individually, the Verve are all highly-<br />
accomplished players. Singer Richard Ashcroft has been called the greatest <br />
singer in the world by no less a peer than Coldplay s Chris Martin. Liverpool-<br />
born Simon Jones s dub-informed bass takes the Verve s music far beyond <br />
rock and into space and dub; Peter Salisbury plays drums more like a jazz <br />
great than a conventional rock drummer and when the tag guitarist of his <br />
generation is thrown about it often lands at the feet of the hugely <br />
adventurous, psychedelic, exploratory Nick McCabe. However, when they <br />
are together a chemistry takes hold that transcends the four people onstage <br />
to blast the Verve somewhere else entirely and this chemistry and <br />
spontaneity has survived an absence of almost a decade. Already, since their <br />
typically unpredictable 2007 reunion, live shows have been running the <br />
gauntlet of everything from material so new that Ashcroft has been singing <br />
the words from scraps of paper to long-lost, hazy B-sides like Let The <br />
Damage Begin and A Man Called Sun, amid all manner of musical fireworks. <br />
When they take the stage, literally anything can happen.<br />
After an absence of almost a decade, these songs are again being played, as <br />
they should be by the Verve themselves. The individual members have not <br />
been slouches. Richard Ashcroft has enjoyed a successful and prolific solo <br />
career. Simon Jones formed a band, the Shining, who were not altogether <br />
dissimilar to the Verve, and has played with Damon Albarn s Gorillaz. Nick <br />
McCabe has been remixing and playing with everyone from the Beta Band to <br />
John Martyn while Peter Salisbury has been playing with Ashcroft, Black <br />
Rebel Motorcycle Club and has further diverted his musical obsessions into <br />
running a Stockport drum shop. However, all seem to have realized what <br />
their enormous fanbase has been telling them all along. That today, as much <br />
if not more than ever, music really needs the Verve.<br />
However, a band like the Verve would never settle for easy nostalgia. Even <br />
before they d set out on their initial comeback gigs last year, which sold out <br />
within an astonishing 20 minutes, they made public (via the NME website) the <br />
results of their very first jam session as a reformed band. The Thaw Sessions <br />
comprised 14 wondrous minutes of music, which signified their ability to spark <br />
off one another remained undimmed. Soon afterwards, the band debuted <br />
new song Sit And Wonder a tune trimmed from a 25-minute jam, just as they <br />
would in the early days, a taste of things to come. Those comeback dates <br />
proved so successful and were so enthusiastically received that the band <br />
immediately embarked on a full-scale tour of arenas in December of 2007, <br />
playing bigger gigs in many cases than the first time around. In 2008, they <br />
look set to up the ante even further, by appearing at many of the major <br />
festivals and, in a turnaround that would have seemed unthinkable even a <br />
year ago, releasing their enormously-anticipated fourth album. The results <br />
will certainly be worth the wait. - Dave Simpson.<br />
