Morphine: Journey of Dreams

Fantastic, moving documentary exhibiting the Morphine story. Will delight fans of this incredible band and new discoverers alike. Where Cure for Pain: The Mark Sandman Story (2011) focused on an introspection of Mark's personal life and psychology, Journey of Dreams is the long-awaited 'companion' which beautifully showcases the origins of the band itself, and their meteoric rise to prominence. All of the major players are featured -- recounting the Morphine experience in their own words -- along with excellent commentary from several of the band's notable rock contemporaries. The narratives are stitched together wonderfully, the film quality is excellent, the new concert / private footage is killer, and the memories proffered are saturated with genuine, compelling emotion. Hated that we had to wait two years before it's full release, but here it is and it was well worth the patience. It truly delivers, bringing the Morphine journey to life, and gives fans a refreshing new way to connect with the music.
