Yeah, the Verve broke up a year or so after their album "Urban Hymns" was released. Technically, they had broken up once before, 1995, following the release and tour for their album "A Northern Soul." They got back together to do "Urban Hymns" but I guess whatever tensions were in the band before (specifically between Richard Ashcroft and the lead guitarist, Nick McCabe) became insurmountable again. So, yeah, Ashcroft is doing solo work now, which ALSO blends orchestral arrangements well. The guy is nutters, but he sure does beautiful work.
