5.0 out of 5 stars enthralling. . ., November 4, 2000
This review is from: The Rope (Audio CD)
...pain that is beautiful..sadness that is perfected in aural splendor..compelling lyrics that stir deep in one's soul..this is what to expect by listening to "the rope" by the ever majestic black tape for a blue girl..this is definitely late night music as all of their cd's are...if you do not own this cd as of yet..purchase it..light a few candles..in a quiet atmosphere...preferably, during the night hours..and let the music immerse you....it is a journey unlike any other..that I can assure you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A haunting, beautiful mix of sounds and emotions, June 13, 1998
This review is from: The Rope (Audio CD)
A great start as a vehicle of artist Sam Rosenthal's beautiful and enchanting visions. His sounds take you away to the emptiness of a shattered soul and bring up your own memories of nursing a broken heart. Wonderful ambient synths mixed with the haunting beauty of vocalist Oscar Herrera's voice flow together so perfectly to invoke a tortured darkness of feeling. A wonderful album to complement your rainy day sorrows.

3.0 out of 5 stars hide the razors!, June 27, 2002
This review is from: The Rope (Audio CD)
Well, how should I put this? This record was really not my cup of tea. High points: "Memory, Uncaring Friend" which is a little more hard hitting and rhythmical than the rest of the album, and "The Rope", very gloomy, with a chamber music sort of feel to it. Overall, the record was just too slow and dreamy for me to get into. I thought that the lyrics were great, though. I prefer the harder goth sound of Christian Death or Bauhaus, but I imagine that fans of the dark ambient/ ethereal sound would probably really get into this.
