Notes
Sam Rosenthal's subtle electronics and introspective lyrics establish Black Tape for a Blue Girl's stature beyond the realm of the normal "gothic" sound. Creating a timeless blend of Oscar's emotional vocals intertwined with warm ambient soundscapes.In 1986, Black Tape for a Blue Girl's darkly mesmerizing debut The Rope appeared on the underground rock scene. It kicked off a rich and diverse musical career for Projekt founder/Blacktape songwriter Sam Rosenthal. 25 years later, Projekt celebrates this momentous anniversary with The Rope 25, a 2CD set including The Rope re-mastered and a bonus disc of current Projekt artists' reinterpretations of the material. Rosenthal's electronics coupled with his angst-filled, introspective lyrics established Black Tape for a Blue Girl's position beyond the traditional "gothic" sound. His lyrics overflow with the emptiness of a shattered soul and broken heart revealing a dark, tortured man scanning the wreckage in search of love, understanding, and connection. The timeless blend of Oscar Herrera's passionate vocals intertwining with warm electronic soundscapes and soothing ambient passages creates an album similar to 80's-era releases on 4AD and Factory Records.Opening the album is the rhythmic, hard-hitting "Memory Uncaring Friend," along the lines of Peter Murphy or Gang of Four. Following this striking opener, the music takes a more subtle turn: gently disorienting, autumnal, mesmerizing, mournful, full of wonder and elusive grandeur. Upon The Rope's release, comparisons were made to Cocteau Twins, Brian Eno, Phillip Glass and Chris & Cosey.Star Hits magazine wrote, "Black Tape for a Blue Girl's The Rope is like the musical equivalent of a nervous breakdown. Complete with dark, scary lyrics that make The Smiths sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks, this might give you an idea of what mental anguish sounds like. It is an experiment worth hearing."2CD in EcoWallet.

- s***a (271)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMy experience with this vendor was thoroughly positive! Not only did the CD I purchase arrive on time, but given how well it was packaged for transit, it arrived without any damage! Its condition also precisely matched the listing and the many photos provided, as well. Ultimately, for what I received, this item came at a great value, and I'm completely satisfied with their exemplary customer service! I hope that this review will convince others to give this vendor plenty of business!Reply from: nostalgicsupplies- Feedback replied by seller nostalgicsupplies.- Feedback replied by seller nostalgicsupplies.Thanks for your business, you just put an smile in my face, customer satisfaction is very important for us.
- u***q (622)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExactly as Described in Listing. Took forever to arrive but Seller can't help the US courier service. Item was pictured in listing and this was the book received. A rare case of a US seller with stock in hand rather than relying on a warehouse to forward a book - often any book - less often the right book. Would be happy to recommend this seller with one caveat that given a book spends a month in transit it would benefit from more secure packaging than a jiffy bagCall for the Dead , John Le Carr , hardcover , D20 (#116650099234)
- j***a (313)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA brand new CD was purchased on 6-14, shipped on 6-18, and delivered by USPS Media Mail on 6-23. Item received was not brand new as listed and wasn't even sealed. CD should have been listed as "used-like new." The case had smudges and some scratches while the disc and booklet looked like new. Item was shipped in a plastic padded envelope and arrived undamaged. Because the CD is out of print and close to being new I decided to keep and rated a positive.Trouble's Back in Town by The Wilburn Brothers (CD, Mar-1998, Edsel (UK)) A10 (#116641146417)
