That may sound like depressing stuff but it is far from it. The quest for the elements of love, of faith and faithfulness, and the essence of happiness as if they were concrete rather than the abstract rudiments of humankind, has been the unrequited search of all time. Given the absolute heartbreak of desire and free will, with all of its choices, most of which bode badly, it is little wonder that the great authors, painters, and composers of all time have devoted lives to the sad song of impossibility with the brush of possibility somewhere hidden. Black Tape explores these dark corners of deception, betrayal, love, hope, and rebirth perhaps more adroitly than any other band. The revisitation of Black Tape for a Blue Girl\u2019s greatest achievement is a great cause for celebration. Works such as are found on this 2CD 20th Anniversary reissue of the classic <B>Remnants of a Deeper Purity<\/B> are priceless.&#8221; <\/I> -musictap.net<\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=2 cellpadding=10 width=350><TR><TD><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" border=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00301e.jpg\" width=120><\/TD><TD><br \/>\nLimited third vinyl double-LP edition <A HREF=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/product\/pro00301>available here<\/A>.<\/TD><\/TR><\/TABLE><\/p>\n<p><BR>black tape for a blue girl&#8217;s achingly beautiful neo-classical, ethereal, darkwave classic is given a 20th anniversary re-release with a bonus disc of additional music. Long droning deep tones overlayed by intense vocals from Oscar and Lucian as well as rich cello and violin arrangements from Vicki and Mera. The results are deeply mesmerizing and melancholy passages. The finished 77-minute album is Black tape&#8217;s masterpiece: exquisite and stunning.

The results are deeply mesmerizing and melancholy passages that draw from influences as diverse as turn-of-the-century minimalism, Indian classical music and occult dirge-rock. The finished 77-minute album is Black tape&#8217;s masterpiece; exquisite and stunning. Wrapped up in the emotions of betrayal and salvation, searching for the deeper fragments of a truer reality &#8212; somewhere between sadness and hope &#8212; Sam&#8217;s words and harmonies weave a soft, opaque veil over a world where feeling is foremost. With this release, Black tape for a blue girl draws together all the diversities of their past ten years, becoming the consummate modern day chamber orchestra whose maestro is our own inner soul.\u000b\u000b<P>\u000b\u000b&#8221;<B>Remnants of a deeper purity<\/B> is an album of rebirth &#8212; the internal\u000b analysis and exploration that paves the way for a major upheaval. a\u000brealignment of balances. searching through the fragments of a past. paring\u000bexperiences down to their essence. revealing the deeper core. the shattered\u000bfilaments of truth and experience that will yet re-entwine to form a new\u000bhighwire of ecstatic life. the album is the contemplation of betrayal (by\u000bothers and of the self), the realization of a subterranean thread linking\u000bthe past to current desire, the revelation of deep personal fears and\u000binsecurities&#8230;and the attempt to reintegrate all of this into an\u000bindividual who can re-experience life and the beauty of existence. the lingering thought is &#8216;redefine pure faith&#8217; so that we may yet re-emerge,\u000brenewed&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; sam rosenthal<\/p>\n<h2>Timeline of <strong>Remnants of a deeper purity<\/strong> release formats:<\/h2>\n<p>1996 &#8211; Original CD release (PRO68).
