Five years before the group's Urban Hymns broke the band into the mainstream, The Verve's first full-length effort, A Storm in Heaven, gave incredible insight into the band's ability to mesmerize it's audience. Hypnotic vocals courtesy of vocalist Richard Ashcroft and layered musical textures from the band make for an incredible, memorable album. This is not the stuff of background music but instead best suited to provide the soundtrack for a candlelit, incense-filled Saturday night. Perhaps the band's best effort to date. --Denise Sheppard

Album Description

1998 Japanese reissue on Virgin of the band's acclaimed 1993album for the label with three early B-sides added as hiddenbonus tracks: 'No Come Down', 'Where The Geese Go' and 'Endless Life'. 13 tracks total, also featuring 'Star Sail' & 'Slide Away'.

4 out of 5 stars Great music for a band with a stellar ending.......2007-05-27

I've been a Richard Ashcroft fan since I first heard "Bitter Sweet Symphony" but never ventured backward into the less known (in the United States) first two albums by The Verve. Since I picked up ''This Is Music: The Singles 92-98'' I've wanted to go back and listen to this album and ''A Northern Soul''. After hearing this album I could not stop listening or replaying it. The other reviewers say that this album is one of the most played in their collection and I can see why.

True to the excesses of The Verve at the time, the album has a very mellow and relaxing feel to it. It will calm you and let your mind think, but not in a negative manner. The songs are soft which allows the lyrics and melody to flow together. Some listeners won't be able to get past what seems to be similar sounds from each song or what they perceive as no real separations between songs, but those thoughts are misguided.

If you like "Bitter Sweet Symphony" because it was popular, stay away from this album. But if you would like to explore more of The Verve beyond that song and ''Urban Hymns'', check out this fantastic beginning for a band that never received the credits they deserved.

5 out of 5 stars beautiful .......2007-02-18

a storm in heaven is one of the most gorgeous albums i've ever heard. it is not like the verve's other albums. this is in a genre of it's own. imagine layers upon layers of soothing, swirling creamy guitar melodies and vocals drenched in reverb dreaminess that wrap around your head until you feel as though you're being gently lifted up into the clouds. listening to this album is like being in that place in between sleep and awake. you know, that state of mind when you wake up in your bed and hear the birds chirping outside, but you are still in your dream? that's what this album is like. is it musical paradise.

5 out of 5 stars Unlike anything I've ever heard........2007-02-09

This album is hard to describe but hell, I'm going to try. First off, if your looking to buy this album and the only thing you know about The Vere is "Bittersweet symphony" then this album may not be for you. This is unlike anything The Verve has ever done. With "A Storm in Heaven" the Verve take a very unothadox Jazzy,psychedelic Post rock aproach to their music that is simply awe inspiring. "A Storm in Heaven" has sonic sound scapes and sound walls that would make My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth blush. I don't know if it is or not but I like to think "A storm in Heaven" as the spearhead album that paved the way for Post Rock acts like Sigur Ros and Godspeed. It's the first album that I really heard the true essence for what post rock would later build apon. If you're a post rock fan or just like beautiful Psychedelic mood music then this album is a must have. Your music collection will thank you.

4 out of 5 stars Alot like Pink Floyd's More.......2006-10-07

VERY GOOD SPACE GUITAR ROCK.

Released in 1993, this is Verve's first full length CD (47 minutes long). Some people have complained about the sound quality, but my CD does not sound that bad. The sound and mix are all part of the ambience of the space music.

This is kind of guitar driven space, ambient music. It is a lot like Pink Floyd's album More, only the spacier parts are drawn out to a full, feature length CD.

This is very good and interesting space music. It doesn't get boring or tedious. Later in the CD, saxophones are added to give the music some variety. You can listen to the whole thing in one sitting. But, at the same time, it could make very interesting background music.

The only problem is that it all sounds alike. I listened to this CD and then another Verve CD and I though I accidently played the same CD twice. But, then I checked....yes these were different CD's with different songs.

The Verve (not to be confused with Verve Pipe) lasted about 6 years. They put out 3 full length CD's and a ton of EP's. I have a compilation CD where they tried accoustic music and actually singing songs! It wasn't very good.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUT FRANCIS MONKMAN, JAM. IT IS SIMILAR MUSIC, ONLY A LITTLE HARDER (AND I THINK A LITTLE BETTER).

5 out of 5 stars A Soundtrack For Sunsets And Starry Skies.......2006-05-06

Sheer bliss, a record full of wonder with Nick McCabe's hypnotic, soothing guitars as it's focal point. Richard Ashcroft's vocals accompany rather than lead through this ten track psychedelic voyage.
A different beast altogether from the worldwide smash 'Urban Hymns' but if you liked that album's dreamier songs such as 'Catching The Butterfly' or 'Neon Wilderness' then 'A Storm In Heaven' is definitely worth checking out.
There are five songs that make this album essential and in my opinion they are 'Star Sail', 'Slide Away', 'Beautiful Mind', 'Make It 'Til Monday' and 'See You In The Next One (Have A Good Time)'. They are all spellbinding, goose-bump inducing jams that (to use a Richard Ashcroft song title!) break the night with colour. Listen to any of these tracks on headphones while on a late evening stroll by the riverside or through a forest or across a wide open field and they capture your imagination.
'Beautiful Mind' is the best of the bunch and is a contender for my all time favourite song! It's a majestic masterpiece that I adore wholeheartedly, every note is perfect and every second is awe-inspiring to me. Listen to it at an ideal time in an ideal setting and hopefully it will grab you in the same way.
'A Storm In Heaven' is a much-treasured album in my collection.

5 out of 5 stars A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

4 out of 5 stars The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

4 out of 5 stars Good mix of film music.......2006-07-02

Good mix of films!
I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

4 out of 5 stars A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

5 out of 5 stars Uplifts your soul, takes your mind into the heavens.......2006-01-06

I have been listening to great scores for many years and this collection is truly inspirational in so far as the choice of different scores takes you on a journey of listening pleasure matched by only a few collections.The price is incredibly reasonable for hours of listening pleasure. Don't pass this one up

I've been a Richard Ashcroft fan since I first heard "Bitter Sweet Symphony" but never ventured backward into the less known (in the United States) first two albums by The Verve.

Sheer bliss, a record full of wonder with Nick McCabe's hypnotic, soothing guitars as it's focal point. Richard Ashcroft's vocals accompany rather than lead through this ten track psychedelic voyage.
A different beast altogether from the worldwide smash 'Urban Hymns' but if you liked that album's dreamier songs such as 'Catching The Butterfly' or 'Neon Wilderness' then 'A Storm In Heaven' is definitely worth checking out.
There are five songs that make this album essential and in my opinion they are 'Star Sail', 'Slide Away', 'Beautiful Mind', 'Make It 'Til Monday' and 'See You In The Next One (Have A Good Time)'. They are all spellbinding, goose-bump inducing jams that (to use a Richard Ashcroft song title!) break the night with colour. Listen to any of these tracks on headphones while on a late evening stroll by the riverside or through a forest or across a wide open field and they capture your imagination.
'Beautiful Mind' is the best of the bunch and is a contender for my all time favourite song! It's a majestic masterpiece that I adore wholeheartedly, every note is perfect and every second is awe-inspiring to me. Listen to it at an ideal time in an ideal setting and hopefully it will grab you in the same way.

5 out of 5 stars Really Great.......2004-09-03

One thing that has yet to be mentioned is that these are all art songs written by women composers. I am a big fan of both of the performers. I really like the first three pieces and Still by Gwenyth Walker. If you are a begginer or an old timer when it comes to art songs, this is a must!
The title is accually Ah love but a day, not American Art Songs

5 out of 5 stars music fan in southern Virginia.......2003-08-15

I LOVE this CD and have played it constantly since purchasing it. My favorite selection is Guide My Feet with Louise Toppin's amazing high voice. The purity and sheer height of her instrument are incredible. I have also really enjoyed hearing the rich baritone of Jay Pierson and excellent accompanying of John O'Brien. The repertoire is refreshing and musically presented by all three artists. I HIGHLY recommend this CD to all.

5 out of 5 stars North Hollywood Fan- Jay Pierson is Wonderful.......2002-09-14

This CD is lovely. Jay Pierson has a wonderful voice and the interpretation of his selections is stellar. I really love "Into the Night" and can listen to it over and over. I also think it is great that the female composers get their long overdue DO! I hope they somehow know that their music is not only being heard, but being performed beautifully. Toppin does a great job also, but I really love the baritone sound. Truly a beautiful CD!!! Thank you to both performers - but especially Pierson!

5 out of 5 stars great CD, but ms toppin was NOT on TOP.......2002-04-08

the fabulous baritone CLEARLY shared the spotlight with toppin. the repetoire throughout was quite distinguished and beautiful between both singers, but i could have done without toppin being listed as the FEATURED singer on this CD. this CD has one of the most elegant, musical, baritones that ive ever heard on it. the best song sung by toppin was "take me to the water" - it was quite emotional, per toppin's pure tone and child-like vocal character - perfect match. "into the night" is glorious, and "ah love but a day" is gorgeous. a beautiful beautiful CD .

4 out of 5 stars Terrific!.......2000-06-06

Louise Toppin sings some beautiful, though neglected repertoire. She is ably assisted by Jay Pierson and John O'Brien, but this is clearly her project. Definitely recommended!
