By the time of their last album (released after Mark Sandman’s death), Morphine had left their minimalist attitude from the mid-90s far behind. This is a lush, rich and very deep sound, made up out of 50s jazz drumming, New Orleans percussion, low tuned bass, organs (lots), and saxophones (even more), some slide guitar and Sandman speaking his haiku lines on top. By the time of the third track you’re either wishing them to go a little faster, just a little faster, or you’re into their narcotic spell and you’re just floating on the low, low tones (bass, bass sax, low pianos) – this is some bottom end. If you listen to one track from this album, make it ‘The night’ – it’s not really representative, but damn if it isn’t the most beautiful thing.
