About Me

New Releases!!!
A Retrospective | 1986-2008 is coming on Russia's Shadowplay Records in June (or July). You can see the track listing here . As opposed to 2003's With a million tear-stained memories, this "best of" includes "the hits" -- many of which are rare & different mixes. The whole thing has been remastered and sounds great (especially the old tracks). Exclusive to this disc is "I have no more answers" off Remnants of a deeper purity, but with Elysabeth providing the vocals.Sam is finishing up the release of Anthology Archive from Revue Noir, his side-project with with black tape's Nicki Jaine. The release is schedule for August. You can hear music from Revue Noir by clicking this banner:
black tape for a blue girl creates passionate music for our intensely loyal following of lovers of ethereal, neo-classical, heavenly voices and gothic music. our songs stir the soul of passion and desire, longing and rebirth, creating spellbinding masterpieces of unchecked emotional beauty.
"listening to black tape for a blue girl is like sitting in a cathedral of mindful gloom, feeling at once melancholy and reassured." - alternative press.like dead can dance, black tape for a blue girl dramatically flirts with symphonic decay." - the philadelphia city paper.
