This is the most subdued of Morphine's works. Sandman is after new moods, quieter moods. Bass is prominent on this album, as if Sandman has been listening to Massive Attack or something. The sax is oftentimes more background atmosphere and color, with less emphasis on lead riffing or rocking out. It is truly a shame that this will be the swan song, now that Sandman has passed on. The soft desperation that this CD evokes is truly haunting given the context, though, in principle not unlike Joy Division's *Closer* (but not in sound) in adding that special resonance. A stellar final effort from one of the best and most original bands of the 90s. If you don't have Cure for Pain yet, here is your chance to rectify that mistake, too!
