You won't find a better example of British soul than ''Check the Meaning,'' the lead track off Human Conditions, the second solo album from Richard Ashcroft, ex-Verve leader. Ashcroft follows that with 10 grand and gorgeous ballads. Though elaborately orchestrated, the songs retain their intimacy, communicated in Ashcroft's vocals, which, over the years, keep getting warmer.

'HUMAN' BEING Ashcroft plays a pallor game
