The Shining - Quicksilver

From their CD True Skies. This offshoot of the Verve unfortunately did not last long. This track is now being resurrected in an automobile commercial. The singer Duncan Baxter will be back.

What a band! I think this has to be one of the most underated songs, ever in my opinion.

[@sk84life1996]

one of the most underated band.

Great band, great album. They deserve more.

19years old. Still the bollocks

Gosh. Discovered in 2002 and rediscovered in 2022. Forgot how good it was. This track was above average in that period. Perfect Reni-like played drums, heavy bass, wah-wah guitar, and energetic vocals. 1/3 Oasis, 1/3 Stones Roses, 1/3 Kasabian. Everything was there for a significant breakthrough. Unfortunately, the band led by Simon Tong (Ex-Verve) disbanded quickly. A loss for pop music.

Glad to hear again after 02. The manc bands I like are amplifier the Smiths and oceansizs plus these guys. I preferred the shining over stone roses oasis etc because they had a raw more aggressive sound. Singer had a maliable voice who could have changed to make less like our kid. I don't have an issue with bands sounding like other bands but this gives me vibes of Kevin and Perry go large. There was some spiritualized organ vibes which would have really changed their feel. Great production singer could add a touch of distortion to his voice if he wanted that oasis tone was surprised by the amount of chilled out songs could have done with another fast tune. I'm going to search more manc bands because they grow on trees. 8/10.

Don't forget original verve member SI Jones was the bass playier in this outfit

[@EdwardGottschalk]

Yeah, I ordered this album to get my hands on it back in the day. Very solid album. Bummed didn't seem like they were really supported by there label? They should have toured with a couple of established acts to gain traction.

good song but badly out of sync...

[@BohemianConspiracy]

shit ... that's perfect for a dance! Really i ve got to resist...and just move my fingers... that s perfect... this is so...mmmhhhh heavy (baby) & so full of power...that s a loaded song... the end of the song (and not only) reminds me the 70s hard rock ...

[@BohemianConspiracy]

this one is solid ...better than "i wonder how"... not so far sonically from Hurricane n1

[@felixhoffmannv.meinigen7776]

still have the album on vinyl @ home! what happend to f**king handsome duncan baxter? there is nothing to find about him,he was (maybe is) a fantastic singer!

[@conradacus7114]

I forgot about them for some time found a shirt at the black market and here we are again

[@mixmastermonte]

i love this song. don't know why this songs didn't show up on the radio in the US.

[@Madchestermod]

seen them live at munich when they promoted true skies. amazing live performance!

Somzáo! Baixista do The Verve detonando!!

[@dinadimina8377]

Крутой альбом. Ах как жаль что пацаны не выдержав критики разбежались кто куда. Саймон Пэг нашёл своё место у Алборна, а вот к примеру вокалист, так его на просторах инета совсем не найти.. Но эксперимент с плотным звуком с ностальгичным закосом под 70ые, я считаю удался. За такими проектами было бы будущее, если бы не бабки, бабки, сука бабки. И вообще что проект не имел коммерческого успеха, это лишнее доказательство того, что пацаны не парились за бабки и делали что-то крутое.

How hard it is to find out what happened to Duncan Baxter? Nothing on the web anywhere. Was he flown back to Mars?

[@weechampion]

Im listening to the album just remembering the good ol times. No music is better than Manchester sounding music lol (or roundabouts manchester - thinkin the shining, puressence, the charlies just to name a few). Duncan Baxter was so god damn hot as well.
