Black Tape for a Blue Girl : Ashes in the Brittle Black Tape for a Blue Girl : Ashes in the Brittle  Ref: 22317 After the highly sucessful special re-releases for the two BTFABG-Albums ‘Remnants of a Deeper Purity' and ‘The Rope' some years ago, here comes Black Tape for a Blue Girl's 1989 third album in a [ VERY ] expanded edition. Remastered from the original 1/4-inch analog tapes, it sounds amazing! Not less than 21 bonus tracks on 2nd CD: demos, acapella, with 6 additional never-before-heard complete songs.

An album of existential, ethereal, and gothic musings, includes their popular goth-rock song "Across a thousand Blades", including a special ‘The Evolution of…' set of early versions of this classic, plus an ALL NEW 2020 Version!

L.A. Weekly:

"Black Tape for A Blue Girl do a reasonable approximation of the 4AD vibe around the corner in Garden Grove. This is languid, lucid music... Their entropy is infectious."
