 (1 Customer Review)
NO COME DOWN is a compilation of assorted alternate takes, live performances, acoustic versions, and B-sides previously unavailable in the United States.
Since the Verve's first release in the early-'90s, the band quickly amassed a large number of non-album B-sides in its UK homeland. In the U.S., few early Verve singles were released, so a B-sides/rarities compilation, NO COME DOWN, was issued in 1994.
While NO COME DOWN understandably doesn't have the thematic cohesiveness of the band's superb albums (A STORM IN HEAVEN, A NORTHERN SOUL, URBAN HYMNS), there are plenty of gems. Standouts include the album-opening title track, gorgeous acoustic versions of "Make It 'til Monday" and "Butterfly," a "USA mix" of "Blue," plus a long and winding live version of the epic "Gravity Grave."

| | Verve Storm In Heaven CD (1993)
No Come Down songs
$8.85 
The first Verve album, A STORM IN HEAVEN, was released in 1993, prior to some legal wrangling necessitating the addition of the definite article to the band's name. Appearing in the wake of the commercial success of the "shoegazer" trend in England, it successfully bridged the gap between the rock affectations of Ride's spectacular GOING BLANK AGAIN and Spiritualized's debut album, both early shoegazing cornerstones.
Building on the spaciousness of their first few singles, A STORM IN HEAVEN marries ...

| | U2 Best Of 1980-1990/The B-Sides CDs (1998)
No Come Down CD music
$22.89
U2 burst onto the scene at the onset of the '80s with a majestic, uplifting, earnest approach and a unique textural sound that endeared them to fans and critics alike. They spent the rest of the decade growing up in public, solidifying their status as post-punk icons, marrying the good intentions of old-school alternative rock with the epic sonic scale of classic '70s rockers, never sounding less than totally original and never pausing for a hits compilation--until 1998. BEST OF offers a good representation of the complex body of work that made the band a legend.
Fittingly, the album begins with the debut's "I Will Follow," a statement of commitment to pursuing truth and spirituality despite continual and inevitable misgivings. "Desire" mates Bono's lyrical fervor with a modified Bo ...
| | King For A Day Before I Go CD (2000)
No Come Down music CDs
$11.39
King for a Day is an impressive new emo punk band hailing from the Detroit area who should not be avoided simply because of their emo tag. Emo stands for emotional punk or hardcore, which is a minor detour for the majority of punk and hardcore. Although some emo bands have taken the road to pop stardom (i.e., Promise Ring), King for a Day retains a harder-edged sound akin to Hot Water Music or Texas is the Reason. Certainly not for everyone, KFAD is skilled at constructing wonderfully catchy harmonies built around a thick, guitar-filled chorus full of frantic emotion. Rick Paulger is an amazing vocalist. He does not come off sounding whiny, which is a major criticism of emo. Instead, he soars above the band with desperate ...

No Come Down album
$42.05
Hatesphere presents BALLET OF THE BRUTE featuring 13 tracks (including three bonus recordings) such as ""What I See I Despise" and "500 Dead People."."
After enduring more than a decade of anonymous labor in Europe's extreme metal trenches and releasing a couple of well-received albums to start the 2000s, Denmark's Hatesphere gained a little surer footing astride their rather daunting neo-thrash competition (the Haunted, Arch Enemy, anyone?) with their third long-player, 2004's Ballet of the Brute. Really two halves of a conceptual sonic whole, the opening pairing of instrumental "The Beginning and the End" and the aptly titled "Deathtrip" (both clocking in under two minutes in length) is positively lethal in its intensity, introducing listeners to the band's tightly spliced guitar-riffing and drum-pounding acrobatics, as well as the gargled death croak (bordering on hardcore) of vocalist Jacob Bredahl. Ensuing highlight "Vermin" shows that he's also quite capable of semi-melodic singing, too, and this sort of frequent vocal hopscotch from track to track soon becomes a distinguishing factor for Ballet of the Brute. Otherwise, Hatesphere's alternating fits of blinding velocity ("Downward to Nothing," "Blankeyed") and mid-paced death marching ("Only the Strongest...," "500 Dead People") is more often good than really great ("Warhead," for example, gets off on a mighty riff before fading from memory), with notable exceptions arriving with the truly face-planting moshing of "What I See I Despise" and the quite brilliant "Last Cut, Last Head," with its army of warring riffs. All in all, Ballet of the Brute delivers an efficient bludgeoning for the buck, without any all-time records for creativity or originality being broken. [The American release of Ballet of the Brute featured a terrifically warped cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Bark at the Moon" and a slightly more recognizable version of Anthrax's "Caught in a Mosh" as bonus tracks.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
