I immediately knew it was Morphine. I prefer to think of them as "Morphine Transmogrifi e d " and I am delighted with the smoky female voice replacing the Sandman (although not with his absence, per se). What a great feel. Just drew me right in to the music . . . mmmmmmm.

I have to say I'm a little preturbed that it sounds EXACTLY like Morphine...u n l e s s it's BOTH the other guys from the band w/ just a different singer to replace Mark Sandman...ot h e r w i s e it's a complete rip off...
|

Oh, so it's Morphine's saxaphone player. Okay, that makes sense, thanks for the post. I will have to tell my boyfriend about this band, he's a Morphine addict.
|
||
It kinda is Morphine. This is Dana Colley's (the sax player from Morphine)new band
|
||
Is it me or does this sound like The Cult Morphine and Alice and chains wrapped up in one package
|
||
Heck yeah I have never heard of this bad!!! Thank you Pandora!!! It is not morphine but then again nothing will ever be like that again, but boy is this good!!!!
|
||
Did these guys make their own 2 string, slide bass also? I like that sound.
|
||
nuthin but good people do'in what good people did and will always do.
|
||
I just realized I have like 7 songs of this one cd thumbs upped on my Radio Chillage station. Cheer You On is my favorite tune of thiers for the moment
|
||
so do they tour who are they according to pandora we will never know and by the way sandman is not dead he is chillin with tupac. he told me
|
||
FYI, the Twinemen also followed Sandman's death with some of the same key players...
|
||
I can't rag on anyone for sounding like morphine and sandman. The world needs more of this style. Check out my Radio Chillage station on my profile. This whole Jazz/Trip Hop/Whatever the hell it so needs to keep growing
|
||
Can you rip off your own sound? I can't believe Dana Colley is trying to sound like Dana Colley, what gall! A true artist makes their instrument resonate with a voice as identifiable as a sonic fingerprint. As central as Mark Sandman was to Morphine, he did not play alone. I for one am glad to hear the music go on, or maybe Colley and Conway should have sealed themselves in Sandman's tomb...
|
||
it is the same singer as Bourbon princess...i think ortiz came to boston on sandman's suggestion.. . B o u r b o n also had original morphine drummer jerome dupree...
|
||
This is the sound I've tuned my Morphine based channel Radio Chillage towards.
|
||
Sorry, its just too close -- almost like they're ripping off their sound. C'mon, bass, sax, and drums? I'd like them better if they weren't trying to carbon-coby what was a great, unique sound -- the first time around.
|
||
Ha ha, I came to this page to see if they were made up of some of the Morphine guys but you guys beat me to it.
|
||
Exactly. Very Morphine-esq u e . I wonder why Morphine is not one of the listed "Similar Artists."
|
||
I want to love them for picking up where Morphine left off... but I can't... Morphine's haunting sound and the untimely death of Mark Sandman make it legendary and although this band is comprised of phenomenal musicians I just don't feel that haunt in my soul...
|
||
At first I thought this was a long lost Morphine song. Made me miss the band.
|
||
I bought this albulm and the whole damn thing is good. The Dana Colley's sax plus the deep smoky vocals from Ortiz: fantastic. The lyrics are wry and darkly surreptitiou s . Complimentin g the whole sound I think is Dersch's jazzy top work and deep tom bottom.. A new incarnation of low-rock at it's finest!
|
||
This is one smooth sound. Love the Morphine sound. Hope they make it to North Carolina..
|
||
Yes, it is the same singer I believe. Monique is her name and the gentlemen playing the sax is the same guy fromMorphine . There from the Boston area and they play often in Cambridge Mass. But I've also seen on their myspace page that they been doing quite a bit of touring in the Northeast in general.
