Morphine Cure For Pain CD (1993)

Like Swimming album

$10.15

Morphine's 1992 debut, GOOD, was a pleasant break from the rock music norm, but the band improved dramatically on their original blueprint with their next release a year later, CURE FOR PAIN. For starters, there was a line-up change--original drummer Jerome Dupree was replaced by Billy Conway (a former bandmate of Morphine leader Mark Sandman's in the blues outfit Treat Her Right). But the real story here is the abundance of top-notch compositions and perfectly ...

Morphine Yes CD (1995)

Like Swimming music CDs

$9.89

All songs written by Mark Sandman except "The Jury" (Morphine/Frank Swart). Morphine's Mark Sandman thinks he's the king of alternative romance; the smooth tones of his ultra bassy band--no guitar, but a saxophone--purr elegantly. YES, Morphine's third release, offers Sandman's sleekest, most consistent songwriting efforts to date, and the band has never sounded so inviting. Morphine is as close as alternative rock comes to jazz. It's swinging bass lines sound impossibly low, complete with a rain-like drum beat and smoking sax lines. What sets Morphine's rich tones apart from swank background music is Sandman's highly physical lyrical angle. In the dizzying "Whisper," when Sandman soothes "Don't worry I'm not looking at you/Gorgeous and dressed in blue," you can see the color. When he croons, "Just whisper me your number/I'll call you up at home," you've already mouthed the words. Sandman knows where he's aiming, and, at it's best, Morphine ...

$10.29

B-SIDES AND OTHERWISE is a collection 12 Morphine non-album tracks and rarities. Live tracks were recorded at Bullet Sound, Nederhorst Den Berg, Holland on May 25, 1994. Now that Morphine's success has resulted in a leap from the indie environs of Rykodisc to the major-label stomping grounds of Dreamworks, B-SIDES traces their esoteric path to mainstream visibility via a collection of noirish odds and ends. Morphine's unorthodox musical approach is fueled by a drum/saxophone/2-string slide bass line-up, ...

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. Recorded at Hi-N-Dry ...

The seventh edition of this wildly popular series of pop anthologies focuses on hits from the first half of 2001.
