The Story
A darkwave classic: exquisite and stunning, wrapped in the emotions of betrayal and salvation.
• 1996 neo-classical masterpiece
• 4-panel digipak w/16-page lyric/photo book & sticker
• 16,000+ CDs sold over the last three decades!
Achingly beautiful neo-classical, ethereal, darkwave classic with long deep tones, intense vocals and rich string arrangements. Mesmerizing & melancholy. Thirty years since its release, Remnants is the timeless work of poets of the broken spirit; it explores the contours of the human soul in a flawless alchemical fusion of sad and majestic heartbreaking beauty.
The Philadelphia City Paper: 'Like Dead Can Dance, black tape for a blue girl dramatically flirts with symphonic decay.'
The 77-minute album is Black tape's crowning achievement: exquisite and stunning. Wrapped in the emotions of betrayal and salvation, searching for the deeper fragments of a truer reality -- somewhere between sadness and hope -- Sam's words and harmonies weave a soft, opaque veil over a world where feeling is foremost, emotions on the surface, the heart laid bare.
Intense vocals from Oscar and angelic vocals from Lucian grace the rich cello and violin arrangements of Vicki and Mera; together with Sam's electronics they reveal a deeply contemplative and passionate world lavishly illustrated with layers of liquid harmonics.
musictap.net: 'Musically and lyrically they explore the heart of the human soul in all of its unavoidable sadness. That may sound like depressing stuff but it is far from it. BlackTape explores these dark corners of deception, betrayal, love, hope, and rebirth perhaps more adroitly than any other band. The revisitation of their greatest achievement is a cause for celebration. This classic album is priceless.'
huh magazine:'The ethereal, romantic sounds of Remnants is their richest work so far: tapestries of melancholic, often neo-classical music manifest themselves amidst waves of Rosenthal's lush keyboards, haunting strings & the vocals of Oscar & Lucian.'
