How can anyone call Northern Soul dissapointing? That just begs belief. It is so much more honest than the overproduced, steralized more successful successor. To understand the Verve is to understand this album.
This Is Music is my favourite Verve song. I love History, but somehow the London reference by a lad from Wigan grates with me.
It is about musical freedom, discovering your own sound and then getting off your arse to do something with that vision and then making that your all consuming passion (or drug). A passion which ultimately led to friction in the band and the break-up of the Verve.
Simply stunning and I have to admit that on the back of my iPod is engraved the simple lyric "This Is Music", says it all.
