Embrace - Caught In A Rush (2004)

Following the release of 'Drawn From Memory', Embrace quickly recorded their third studio album 'If You've Never Been', which was released on 3 September 2001. It reached number 9 in the UK chart, but as before, the critical acclaim did not translate into acceptable sales by the label, and the band were dropped by Hut Records in 2002, amid the confusion caused as Virgin Records (Hut's parent company) were taken over by EMI. The final two singles on Hut included the usual non'album b-sides, but it was too late to save the band, and they needed a new label. Around this time frontman Danny McNamara became tabloid fodder due to a rumoured relationship with 90's pop diva Gina G, and he was also in a brief relationship with journalist Jayne Thompson. In 2004 they were signed by Andy McDonald to his Independiente Records label, and released the album 'Out Of Nothing', which reached number 1 on the UK charts. The 'comeback' single that preceded the album was 'Gravity', which had been written by Coldplay's Chris Martin, after Danny McNamara and Martin had become friends following their 2000 tour with Coldplay as support act. The single was a hit, reaching number seven in the UK Singles Chart, and Coldplay have since recorded 'Gravity' as a b-side for their single 'Talk'. This third collection of non-album tracks covers 2001 to 2004, including a three year period between labels when the band didn't release any new music.
