Morphine was a remarkable band. Billy Conway’s tuned drum kit, Dana Colley playing two baritone-saxophones at a time and Mark Sandman’s two-string slide bass and his baritone vocals. Morphine exist in a rock & roll no-man’s zone. The songs are erratic and slurred. They feel pleasantly intoxicating, like a few too many gin and tonics. “Yes» manages tremendous diversity in tone and mood. The low-end sound has been made to work in various ways, from the machine gun excitement of «Honey White», the laid back relaxed irony of «Scratch» and the staccato pulse of «Radar.» The imagery and narration on «Sharks Patrol These Waters» pushes the boundaries of the song being also as much a skilled poetic reading of a compelling metaphor.
