• A new mix of Black Tape For A Blue Girl's 1987 2nd album• aqua blue & white (Aside/Bside) 140-gram color-vinyl• Lyric insert• Limited edition of 200For Fans of: This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Virginia Astley, Shelleyan OrphanGuillaume R fan comment: The 2023 Mix is truly amazing, almost as if we'd been listening to Mesmerized from a distance for years without knowing. The music shines with so much more depth. Patrick L fan comment: Couldn't begin to say how many dozens of times I listened to my old CD of Mesmerized, but now it sounds like an old tired cassette tape by comparison. The clarity and depth of sound is incredible. Thank you so much for doing this!Flowing on its haunting thread, ethereal music enveloped in a lush dreamscape atmosphere. In the summer of 1987, Sam Rosenthal and vocalist Oscar Herrera are joined by Sue-Kenny's lovely British vocals for the most mysterious of the band's releases.Sam says, More than a reissue, it's a restoration! I remixed the album from scratch. After 36 years, Mesmerized, finally matches the way it always played in my head -- rich, detailed and distinct. Everything is more present and the lovely vocals engulf you in their power and beauty. Discover what has been hidden all these years.1987 press: THE BOB: ...elegantly pained music: an assemblage of entrancing, blackly romantic sound paintings. BSIDE: Sadly nostalgic of your loneliest days, gently disturbing music that sends your mind adrift on an ocean of reflection.OPTION: By far the most subtle release on the Projekt label. A mix of vocals, acoustic and electric instruments, and electronic treatments works perfectly, establishing a natural balance. Sue-Kenny Smith's otherworldly voice (reminiscent at times of Virginia Astley) complements the sad, bittersweet tone of the songs. The lyrics are riveting.LP on aqua blue & white (Aside/Bside) 140-gram color-vinyl, with lyric insert.
