 Less refined, but just as beautiful as Urban Hyms September 11, 1998

This CD, I think their first real release, shows the early experimental genius of The Verve. When most rock bands write and perform music as a career, The Verve see it as their mission in life. The five tracks on this CD combine seemingly bare minimum lyrics with psychadelic guitars to create extremely memorable and beautiful music. I've never realy understood when people call a song "beautiful", but after listening to this CD I found the meaning for myself.Although not as refined as their later work, The Verve EP is an incredible CD, and a must have for any Verve fan.

"A Man Called Sun" may be the best produced song ever. Previously "Riders On The Storm" by The Doors got my vote, but this song is just about perfect.

I love the last two songs ENDLESS LIFE and FEEL. Lyrics didnt really mean a thing to Verve at this time. They were just used as another instrument to compliment the atmosphere of the music. Using pauses, drawing out words flow like the guitar. I really like the drumming on FEEL, it has a hypnotic quality that draws you in and keeps your head bobbing. the song is 10 and half minutes long but it goes by fast. A MAN CALLED SUN is very spooky and very good.

This E.P. is so beautiful. "She's A Superstar" and "A Man Called Sun" are my favorites, but every one of the five tracks is flawless. What wonderful textures. Even better than "A Storm in Heaven."

Everything the Verve have done has a touch of magic but this is when they were really flying. This is the original, the youthful pre-commercial Verve. The best Verve.
