Released in 1999, it features Julianna Towns’ sultry vocals, Oscar Herrera’s passionate voice, Vicki Richards’ dramatic violins and cover star Lisa Feuer’s heartfelt flute. And of course founder Sam Rosenthal’s drifting electronics and soul-searching lyrics. Following three years after their highly acclaimed Remnants of a deeper purity, Aflame weaves ethereal, gothic and ambience into powerful music with poignancy and striking lyrical insight. spiderbytes: As one aflame laid bare by desire proves that melancholy waters run deep. Perhaps not as gloomy, and certainly not as maudlin and angry, as some previous releases, angst as art is still the source of fuel for Rosenthal and crew’s perpetual dark flame. In fact, the art aspect is intensified as Sam laces threads from dadaist Marcel Duchamp’s artworks and literature into Blacktape’s gauzy fabric. Think modern Gothic chamber music with some ambient/electronic overtones. Penthouse: Rosenthal’s Black Tape for a Blue Girl embraces Brian Eno’s ambient ideas along with sensual and enchanting vocals. Magnet Magazine: A lot of As one aflame is damn near brilliant in its artistic reach and dramatic scope. With otherworldly electronics, lone violin and weeping flute all draped around the solemn (electronic) whispers of Rosenthal (and the evocative voices of Julianna Towns and Oscar Herrera), BlackTape provides a most ghostly encounter. At times, BlackTape echoes the romantic indulgence of This Mortal Coil, with haunting female vocals and ornate neoclassicism juxtaposed against an ominous, frozen landscape of strings and keyboards; Rosenthal’s art achieves both an eerie sonic calm and an intense degree of emotional extravagance. As one aflame can’t be dismissed as a misguided attempt to invigorate the well-preserved corpse of the darkwave. This stuff is quite guided and very much alive. L.A. Weekly: Clearly, labels like ‘gothic,’ ‘death rock’ and ‘gloom’ are more about the mood, the fashions and the feelings the music provides. Stretching the goth genre even further, black tape for a blue girl incorporate orchestral elegance with a New Age-ish spirituality and literary introspection. Their latest As one aflame laid bare by desire is a symphonic mix of poetic vocals and ethereal atmosphere. Yes, it’s dark, but instead of wallowing spooky pretense, the band — which features a flutist, violinist, acoustic guitar and keyboards — focuses on instrumentation and conceptual themes. Far from depressing, they bring beauty and depth to a genre known more for sorrow and menace. Ink19 (Winter 1998): “As one aflame has a haunted, fragile feeling, like an antique musical box playing a melancholy melody that lingers just on the edge of your memory.” original CD release date: January 12 1999 remaster re-release date: Fall 2024 Click to Join, hit send, and I’ll add you to the list. – Sam love it, share itfacebook twitter pinterest google
