Morphine, At Your Service [Rhino]


Singer Mark Sandman coined the phrase "low rock" to describe the sonorous, languid groove he created with the acclaimed Boston band Morphine. Sadly, the band's time together was cut short in 1999 when Sandman suffered a heart attack in Italy while onstage with Morphine and died on the way to the hospital. A decade later, Rhino pays tribute to Sandman’s ferocious creativity and Morphine’s instantly recognizable sound with a two-disc collection of unreleased studio tracks, alternate takes, and live performances.

Nice. Gotta be honest. I love Morphine, and the Sandbox, but I can't get into much beyond Yes and Cure For Pain. Thought Good had great songs but terrible recording.

Love me some Morphine...

Always reminds me of 6 month relationship with one of the craziest (in both the good and bad sense) chicks I've ever met.
