I have always thought Morphine's absolutely brilliant combination of instruments made for an amazing sound. I'm sure most of you agree. Do any of you know anything similar?

I would really dig finding some new tunes that have a similar deep dark rich smokey lusty presence like Morphine's.

What do you think?

Possibly some of Tom Waits music does, what else?

    "deep dark rich smokey lusty presence"

    nice way to describe it. I think elvis costello has got this sometimes, in the older stuff.

      Possibly the only one I've seen/heard is Steen Jorgensen of the Danish band Sort Sol (Black Sun) who has a solo album with another Dane who plays a dominant bass. I'll see if I can find the title. Oh yes, Steen has only one arm and looks like he only comes out at night.

        Two recorded projects: Snedronningen (Han Christian Anderson's Snowqueen, a musical score) and Ginmann og Jørgensen. Both of these are with the jazz basist Lennart Ginmann. You can also see www.sortsol.dk

      I've heard of them, but never heard or seen. On, huh? I dunno...the slink and sleaze that Sandman had with tunes like Sheila, Buena, Cure for Pain,...how do you keep up with that? That dude had so much dope in his voice I used to get the itchies just listenin to him.
