Album Review
Perhaps as a contractual obligation, only a few months after Like Swimming appeared in record stores, a collection of B-sides and soundtrack-only material titled B-Sides and Otherwise was issued by Morphine's original label, Rykodisc. While the trio always used unconventionality to their advantage, their acute pop sensibilities appealed to a wider audience; however, the material here is more challenging and abstract than your average Morphine release. Some songs, such as the eight-minute soundscape "Down Love's Tributaries," test the listener's patience, while others, such as live radio broadcasts of two tracks ("Have a Lucky Day" and "All Wrong"), are thoroughly enjoyable. Other highlights include a beautiful acoustic guitar instrumental from the movie Get Shorty entitled "Bo's Veranda," plus "Shame," "Kerouac," "Pulled Over the Car," "Mail," the charged-up "Mile High," and the humorous "My Brain." An interesting collection of oddities that will appeal to the dedicated fan, B-Sides and Otherwise captures the band at their most experimental.
Customer Reviews
Essential Morphine
The music here runs the gamut; from the more conventional Have a Lucky Day and All Wrong to the much more esoteric Down Love's Tributaries (which if I recall correctly, was originally included on the Cure for Pain CD single). In my opinion this album gives the listener a glimpse into the mindset of Morphine - the stream of consciousness ideas that in some cases lead to songs that are included on albums, but in other cases are put on the shelf. There isn't a weak song on the album, but highlights include another chapter in the haunting I Know You saga, the groovy almost acid jazz sounding Bo's Veranda, the superb drumming featured on Kerouac, and the amusing and almost cheerful sounding Pulled Over the Car.
