On A Northern Soul...

Guitar Magazine, 1995

•  "Since the last album we've spent two years playing
  music every night, and that means you get a lot better. When it's
  working it's amazing, but when it's not it's horrible. That's what's
  different about The Verve."

•  "The first three weeks of making the LP were the best
  three weeks of my life. We were making music and not thinking about it. And then it all went nuts... "

• "What you're hearing on 'A Northern Soul' is the room.
  We're playing the room, getting the room on tape. We wanted that
  feeling we get when we make the rehearsal room vibrate."
