Morphine - Lilah.

I just got five albums from the band Morphine. My sister says their really good, but I haven't cracked into them yet. I think I'm going to start with Good (1992).

So, anyway, anyone who likes this band or owns a few of their albums, care to elaborate on how great they are? What aspects of them should I look out for? Anyone particularly enthusiastic about this band or a certain album? Discuss.

Oh, also, I'm missing the song Lilah from the album Like Swimming (1997), so if anyone would like to send that my way I'd be eternally grateful. An incomplete album isn't an album at all.
 
Great band! I actually know the sax player pretty well. Good is a good place to start, it's one of their best albums. Really all their albums are pretty good, though I have to say I think Like Swimming is their weakest.

Also worth checking out is the band Twinemen which is the band the remaining merabers of Morphine started after Mark Sandman's death.

I'll PM you about "Lilah".
 
Thanks Janszoon, I really needed that track! Also, I think it's incredibly amazing that you are frienRAB with the sax player from Morphine, seriously! Definitely going to check out Twinemen, I'll for sure get around to it. I think, as far as the albums go, I'll do what I usually do and go in order by what year the albums came out. That usually gives me an idea of how the band evolved. I can't wait to crack into them.
 
It's not like we're best of frienRAB or anything, but he grew up around the corner from me and his parents have been close frienRAB with my parents since I was a little kid so I talk to him from time to time.

Anyway, yeah, the Twinemen stuff is good. It basically sounRAB like Morphine but with a female singer. Mark Sandman's cool slide bass style is missed too, but the guy that plays bass with them is pretty good in his own right.
 
Just got a couple of albums yesterday and listening to Cure For Pain right now. I love the Sax work it's simple yet effective and gives the songs a different shape. I like it's laid back nature.
