Morphine has one of the most unique sounds I've ever heard, a baritone rumble of a band with and endless supply of spectral, seductive lyrics. If I had to make up my own term, it would be Rock Noir. It sounds like your sub-woofer has caught a terminal case of the sexiness and it's not gonna survive.So quick, get yourself a bottle of whiskey and join us on a trip into the underworld. This is what Bruce Wayne listens to after a long night beating the crap out of psychos, smoking a cigar on the veranda of Wayne Manor, watching the sunrise glint through the remnants of a twenty year old scotch sliding down the side of a crystal glass. The Night is watching you from an alleyway with Robert Rodriguez, Graeme Revell, Chet Baker, Akira Yamaoko, David Lynch and Trent Reznor.
Good for: Watching the city slide by on a rainy night through the window of a broken down, filthy train.

I became a fan of Morphine after hearing them on the GET SHORTY soundtrack. THE NIGHT is a classic album, my personal fave from the group and their late great frontman Mark Sandman.
Thanks anonymous, I'll go check out the Get Shorty soundtrack, it's probably got something awesome on it I need to hear.
