Overview: 'Morphine - Journey of Dreams' is the definitive, in-depth tale of this unique musical act's compelling career and life together and their resonant musical creativity.

DVD Verdict: The Boston-born "Low Rock" band Morphine blazed like a comet across the international music scene in the 1990s, rising from local small clubs to indie and major label record deals, high and wide critical acclaim, and packed shows until the band's untimely demise. The trio's unique and mesmeric sound continues to resonate with its fans and music lovers as the group ascends to legendary if not iconic status.

The documentary film doesn't just get behind the music, but instead inside the band as its story is primarily told by the trio's surviving members: saxophonist Dana Colley and drummers Billy Conway and Jerome Dupree, plus the close-knit familial coterie that worked with them; as well as Sandman's girlfriend Sabine Hrechdakian.

'Journey of Dreams' is an excellent tribute to Morphine and a documentary that not only brings you into their world, as a newcomer or a long term fan, but makes you realize either way that they are still sorely missed on our collective radio stations. The music that pours out here will make your feet tap, your hips gently sway, your head bob, and in equal measures, your heart hang heavy and sink also for what might have been.

'Morphine - Journey of Dreams' is punctuated by incisive commentary and observations from such friends and admirers of the group as Henry Rollins, Joe Strummer and Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. A wealth of live performance footage gathered from across Morphine's career recalls and amplifies the band's innovative yet at the same time classic, timeless and "beautifully bottom-heavy" sound, as Rolling Stone praised it.

Viewers ride and fly along with the hard-touring band's road experiences, vibrantly brought to life as Colley reads from his tour diaries at key points in the film as well as through his accompanying Polaroid pictures and Super 8 films. A joy to watch from start to finish, 'Morphine - Journey of Dreams' is a must-have for all true fans of music.
