4. 4. The Verve: This Is Music - The Singles 92-98 (Virgin)

   Manchester Evening News, Wednesday 20 October 2004 A BAND that still remains as underrated as The Verve deserve better than this - two 'new' sub-standard tracks are not the epitaph you'd hope for. Of course, that's not to say that there aren't great songs on this compilation.

10. 10. Peterson's passion

    Manchester Evening News, Thursday 28 October 2004 GILLES Peterson is what you might call the connoisseurs' DJ. He's also regarded as a highly eclectic DJ.
