    I loved that band in the mid ninties, I still listen to their first two albums but I've never been one for big sing a long anthem stuff so I don't really dig out Urban Hymns that much.

    The best thing about that band has always been Nick McCabe's sky scraping guitar lines. I really think he is one of the most under rated guitarists of the last 15 years - he plays with such amazing texture.

    I saw them in 98 at some festival after he had left and they had the steel pedal guitar player BJ Cole and it was like watching half a band.

    I've also not liked a single thing Ascroft has done solo and I'm worried that from what I've heard that stuff is gonna be prevalent on this album - is this the case?

    • Verve EP is still my favorite.threadpost
    • got to love BJ Cole though.kingsteven
    • BJ Cole is fantastic, but I just felt that McCabe was missed on the songs that have 'big noise' as a part of them.Wolfboy
