Morphine - Cure For Pain (1993)

Morphine's first album, in 1993 : "Cure For Pain".
This sounds like a perfect mix of blues/rock and jazz. The band uses instrument like a 2-string bass (a 4 string normal bass without the 2 higher strings) and a (sometime unusally "bluesy") tenor-saxophone, giving its music this particular style that made the band worldwide touring during the middle 90's.
Mark Sandman, the band's leader and singer, died on stage in 1999.

Even As We Speak - Feral Pop Frenzy (1993)

This is the first (and AFAIK the only one) album from "Even As We Speak", one of this lovely early-90's british pop band from the indie label Sarah Records (RIP).

Their music sounds like a quietely and crystal-made pop, the singer-girl sounds like a teen, probably a bit too seriously involved in her work, but oh! so cute, and hearing the whole album is like having a shower under a fresh waterfall on a hot summer - always returning to it.

This is the british release, released on Sarah Records under cat.# SARAH-614-CD
