In 1992, Morphine released their second independent record Cure for Pain. It is their biggest selling record as well as their most critically acclaimed. If you haven't heard of Morphine, they were the college radio darlings of the 1990's. The thing that made them so different was that they had no guitar. They managed to create a huge sound from a saxophone, a two-string slide bass guitar and Mark Sandman's amazing voice. Their third record Yes, also on Rykodisk, is equally amazing, so feel free to pick that up as well. Unfortunately, Mark Sandman collapsed on stage in 1999 and died of a heart attack.
