Like the band's prior EPs and singles, most of the songs on this album are bathed in heavy layers of delay (echo) and reverb, used on both the guitars and the vocals, in order to give a disorientingly psychedelic overall effect.
"Star Sail" appeared on the soundtrack album for the 1993 movie Sliver.
The lyrics of "Butterfly" [e.g., "You could flap your wings a thousand miles away/ You could take the storm away, forever every day"] pertain directly to the so-called Butterfly effect. (The song "Catching The Butterfly," from the band's 1997 album Urban Hymns, is apparently a continuation of this theme.)
The album's closing song is built on a subdued piano motif played by guitarist Nick McCabe.
Like all of the band's releases, A Storm in Heaven features enigmatic artwork. The album's cover photo was shot inside Thor's Cave in Staffordshire, England. The vinyl LP version came in gatefold packaging.
After this album, the band's music moved in a less psychedelic, more structured direction, and their name was officially changed to "The Verve" for legal reasons, so as not to clash with the record label 'Verve'.
Records and sleeve look in excellent condition but no guarantees.It belonged to my daughter who has now emigrated. I know she rarely played her music.
Please ask any questions if you need further information and I will help if I can.
This is part of my collection which is going to be sold on ebay because of my impending emigration – why not have a look at my other items?
This item may be collected from my home in Leicestershire.
