  True enough. The one song I've heard from them without sax was absolute dullsville. It's nice to hear a band without a lead guitar or synth, for a change. If you don't like saxes then you'll not get on with Morphine, for sure, but personally I love the blarting, rasping baritone sax :o) |

A lot of complaints i can't get out there. I'm a proper morphine addict these days. Just gotta get a fix from time to time. I think its fine to have just one sound if its your sound. Other notable examples to back this up include the smiths, the cure, smashing pumpkins and i could go on but really feel the point is made.

Like some of Morphine's stuff, but not a big fan of this song.

True, but what a sound. I'm a sucker for Morphine. |

Nice to hear this band. Would be great to hear what Mark would be coming up with now were he alive. You're missed Mark!

The sax solo blows and it must have taken all of 5 minutes to come up with such deep lyrics!  Seems like Morphine is a like it/hate it kind of band. I happen to like it. Fortunately, it looks like most of us do too. Anyway, it's undeniable that they had a very distinctive sound. It's too bad that I only ever hear it on RP. |
