Yeah, I know they toured together in 92. Not sure if that's when it happened.
Spiritualised and Verve, like

Yep, that was the start of it. RA and KR were together by A Northern Soul.

Which I happened to listen to on Tuesday, and which is still awesome. Obsessed with dying alone and being grateful for sex. So adolescent. But so powerful. And the guitar, holy fuck. No one since.

I wonder if Ashcroft wrote the So It Goes 'I'm just a poor little wifeless fella' coda for JP?

Didn't he, ah, pinch KR off Jason Pierce?

Yes, and I'm glad he did, because it lead to Pierce writing 'Broken Heart'
