Morphine began in 1990 in Cambridge, MA, as a lighthearted experiment in darkness. The band struck a chord in the thriving local music scene, nurturing their previous musical experiences. They toured the world and commanded festival audiences of over 50,000. Tragically, during a performance in Italy, Mark Sandman collapsed and passed away at the age of 46.
Despite this devastating loss, Dana Colley and Billy Conway continued to honor Mark Sandman's legacy through their project called Twinemen. Today, Dana Colley and original drummer Jerome Dupree, along with blues guitarist Jeremy Lyons, continue to tour as Vapors of Morphine and The Ever Expanding Elastic Waste Band.
In December 2021, Billy Conway sadly passed away from liver cancer at the age of 65. Their contributions to the music industry will always be remembered.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

Burbling analog synths and gritty slide guitar dominate on 'Part Of The Process,' setting the pace for the wild diversity of sounds to follow. Serene keyboards and buzzing drum samples provide the unique backdrop for the timeless melody of 'Blindfold.' Lush string arrangements and beautiful fingerpicked guitar grace the close harmonies and confessional lyrics of 'Over And Over.' Powerful string orchestration also lifts the ballad 'Fear And Love.' 'Friction' features a deep reggae groove, a horn section and chatting by Spikey T.
