Editorial Reviews

Morphine leader Mark Sandman was the inventor of a sound called "low rock" — the distinctive blend of sonorous saxophone, bass and deep grooves that, along with Mark’s lyric poetry, propelled Morphine to fame. But Mark created much more than the brilliant music of Morphine. He was a tireless musical experimenter who wrote and recorded constantly throughout his life. Although Morphine and the seminal swamp-blues quartet Treat Her Right became well known and successful, much of his work was never commercially released and remains unheard — except by his large circle of friends, who he regularly commandeered to critique his latest, usually over a bottle of Patron. Sandbox brings everyone into that circle. After 5 years meticulously culling the large collection of original music, poetry and art left behind by Mark after his untimely death in 1999, the surviving members of Morphine, Bill Conway and Dana Colley, have assembled the essential Mark Sandman collection. More a musical adventure than a "greatest hits" set, the 30 songs on Sandbox are connected by the voice and the singular musical and lyrical vision of Mark Sandman. For Morphine and Treat Her Right devotees, it’s a final affectionate encore. For the uninitiated, an invitation to discover the depth and scope of Mark’s unique and challenging artistry. Sandbox also includes a DVD of rare and unseen footage, artifacts of Mark’s career and even more Sandman music.

Product delivered within stated time frame, and the condition of the CD and packaging were as stated by Seller. I am very happy with my purchase, as I had been trying to purchase this set for a while. However, most sellers are not asking a reasonable price for a used version of this product. I truly appreciate this Seller's transparency and reasonable pricing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, Good As A Cure For Pain, Like Swimming In The Night...

This wonderful (even aesthetically) box gives to us some gems that are much more smokey and darker sometimes than some of the official Morphine's songs, the mood of Sandman is the one of the latest great crooners of the 20th century... confident, slow, excellent, unique. Wonderful.

As a Morphine fan, this 2 CD and 1 DVD set is well worth it. The DVD is the weakest part of the set.
Concerning the shipper, they took longer than expected to ship.

For me, Mark Sandman created 'desert island' music. it's a great long view of his work.

Perfect for drinking and anything else you can imagine.

I hope they open up his archives one day.

This box set is awesome I recommend it to anyone who is a Morphine fan, and I think even if you never heard of Morphine it will tickle your taste buds. No regrets in buying this album what so ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love It! But Which Groups Play Which Songs?
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2013
I enjoy this compilation greatly, a really good listening experience. However, the liner notes/credits leave a lot to be desired. Here's why:

They list 8 groups and multiple players for the entire set, never once letting the listener know which groups correspond to which tracks.
Does anyone know this? Nowhere on the internet have I been able to get this info. The Morphine tracks are fairly obvious due to the presence of Dana Colley's sax and the THR tracks, as well, when Jim Fitting is tooting his harmonica, but otherwise, it would be helpful to give info on the groups and personnel. Plus the original dates of these recordings would be helpful to create an historic timeline for such a unique artist. This is my only complaint.

Liner notes, or lack there of aside, this compilation has has some catchy tracks as well as some unusual tracks but has held up to multiple listens quite well!

Maybe it's not the best place to start when wanting a beginner's lesson to the Sandman, for that go to "Treat Her Right" or Morphine's "Cure for Pain" or "Good", but a beguiling eulogy nonetheless for those in search of a little more fleshing out of this musical talent taken from us at far to early an age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes. It is Good!
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2005
This set far exceeds any expectations I had of it. With every listen, more and more songs stick in my head. So many of these tracks would have been standouts on any Morphine or THR release. I can't always tell which tracks were done with which band, but disc one seems to be a Morphine centered album, while disc 2 is largely focused on Sandman's other projects. Being a fan of Morphine who's only given a little time to THR, I've been giving more attention to disc one which features a lot of really great tracks, especially Tomorrow and Justine. There are a lot of other Sandman projects represented in this set as well. Only one or two tracks seem out of place to me, but still do well if only as a picture of some other sides of Sandman's work.

The DVD is also a real treat featuring even more unreleased songs from concert footage and some rare footage of earlier projects performing at the Middle East and elsewhere. There are also a lot of interview clips from the Morphine era that really let the personality of Sandman shine through.

A lot more can be said about this collection to be sure and I'm still finding new things with each listen. Definitely pick this up. If you're a Sandman fan who might have wondered if a collection like this would be up to par with what you already know, I can guarantee that you will be pleased.
