"Achingly beautiful neo-classical, ethereal, darkwave classic with long deep tones, intense vocals and rich string arrangements. Mesmerizing and 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 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."

"Ethereal, gothic and ambient entwine with poignant and powerful lyrical insight. Released 26 years ago in 1999, their seventh album is now reissued in a remastered 2LP edition. Band-leader Sam Rosenthal reflects, 'I'm thrilled to reissue Aflame in new formats, sounding better than ever! I remixed two songs to bring the vocals up. Going back to the original DAT sources makes the whole album warmer and richer. The remastering enhances Julianna Towns' sultry vocals, Oscar Herrera's passionate voice, Vicki Richards' dramatic violins and cover star Lisa Feuer's heartfelt flute. And of course my drifting electronics and soul-searching lyrics." 140-gram vinyl. Includes four-page lyric/photo book."
