Black Tape For a Blue Girl is a band from the USA formed in 1986. Their music incorporates elements of gothic, dark cabaret, ethereal, ambient and neo-classical music.
Fronted by Projekt Records manager Sam Rosenthal, the band’s lineup has changed significantly over time. The current lineup has Rosenthal on programming, guitar and keyboards, Brian Viglione (The Dresden Dolls) on percussion, guitar & bass, and vocalists Athan Maroulis (ex-Spahn Ranch), Laurie Reade (ex-Attrition) and Nicki Jaine. The most notable former member of the band is their long time vocalist, Oscar Herrera & Elysabeth Grant. Former Cellist, Mera Roberts, is currently the lead singer/multi-instrumentalist for Mercurine and Oblivia.
The style of black tape for a blue girl is generally described as “gothic”, though their long catalog of music does not often gel with all of the contemporary standards of gothic or darkwave music over time. Much of the lyric writing is done by Rosenthal himself and often explores powerful emotions of love, vulnerability, isolation, loss, jealousy, and passion.

I don't know what to think of 10 Neurotics, either. It doesn't sounds like the Black Tape I love and I can't say I like it either. I tried to listen to it, but instead I switched to "A Chaos of Desire" after the third song. I've been a huge fan since mid 90's, to a point in which I still wear my near-to-rags The Rope t-shirt since 1998, but their last albums have left such a bittersweet taste in me and it makes me sad...

10 Neurotics opened the doors of a whole new music style to me, and it's still brilliant. With so many different songs, lyrical themes, sexy atmosphere and gorgeous arrangement - new album is very far from bad, even from average. And design.. no comment. <3 "And I'm gonna die out here in this fuckin' woods." Two thumbs up! :)
