Black Tape For A Blue Girl

The Rope 25

Format: 4 panel ecoWallet. 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. Now 25 years later, Projekt celebrates this momentous anniversary with The Rope 25 - coming with the debut in carefully remastered soundquality plus including a 2nd disc of reinterpretations by Erik Wollo, All My Faith Lost..., Attrition, Mirabilis, Lux Interna, Rajna. Also included is BTFABGs own re-recording of the album opener "Memory, Uncaring Friend", turning this classic track into a driving rock song, equal parts Bauhaus, Gary Numan and a darkly-caffeinated Sinatra. "Working with Brian of the Dresden Dolls on drums and guitar," Rosenthal says, "we captured the song as I would have performed it if live in '86. It's aggressive, brash, tense and loud! All elements that a song about betrayal and self-destruction require. Athan Maroulis' vocals reflect back to Oscar's performance while giving the song new drama and immediacy."
