"Yeah sure there are some really painfully uncomfortable Oscar moments on this CD (and unlike another reveiwer on this page has stated, it's Oscar who's voice strains and sounds off key, not Sam's whispered vocals-check the credits)but despite these moments,this release has so many incredible tracks like "Left,Unsaid", "Overwhelmed, Beneath Me" and "The Turbulence and the Torment". Very beautiful inspirational tracks. Despite the few low points, there are so many high points of such quality that I beleive this is Black Tape's strongest release as a whole, to date. The bad is uncomfortable but the good is so very very good that it is a must buy for anyone into dark music."

"it seems that on this recording, sam rosenthal achieves all that he set out to accomplish with black tape for a blue girl. beginning with the haunting, and ghostly "left,unsaid", this lush garden.. consistently numbs the listener into a conscious, delicious dream. the religious overtones of the work are prevalent, yet not overbearing, and give clues into rosenthals own pain and desires. lucian casselman's flawless vocals make this a grandiose and compelling outing for black tape, and point the listener towards the orchestral and complex "remnants of a deeper purity"."
