$7.29 Don't let the name mislead you. While some might jump to the conclusion that a name like Morphine would be reserved for another derivative, abrasive metal band, this band's music is something completely different. Morphine was in one fact of the most original indie-rock bands of the '90s. It's ironically tragic that vocalist/bassist Mark Sandman's untimely passing from a heart attack cut the band's future short before the release of the group's last and possibly most brilliant album, THE NIGHT.
Morphine's sound could possibly described as a jazzy, musical backdrop to beat poetry. As soon as the two-stringed fretless bass and baritone saxophone open "The Night," the listener is put into a hypnotic, trance-like state. Sandman's smooth, baritone vocals are the focal point of "Souvenir." The sexy feel of "Top Floor, Bottom Buzzer" is only accentuated by female background vocals. "Like a Mirror" is subtly beautiful; and the haunting line "I'm like a mirror / I'm nothing 'till you look at me" is striking. "Rope on Fire" uses a harmonic-minor melody to engender an Eastern feel. The instrumental syncopation and Roger Waters-influenced vocals of "I'm Yours, You're Mine" showcase the passion of an unsung artistic genius whose absence leaves behind an insatiable void.
