    Does anyone have a definitive answer where is the cover image sourced, in my head it's a representation of Joelle Van Dyne.

      Third repress available and I'm finally going to get my hands on this great EP. Tropic Of Cancer was my introduction to new-wave, dark-wave, post-punk genre, and I'm totally hooked on this. Thank you for this fine piece of music! <3

        "...The [new ToC] album will be preceded in August by a limited 2013 re-press of the much sought-after Sorrow Of Two Blooms EP on clear vinyl with the original sleeve art reproduced..."

          I really enjoy this EP and its vast and haunting soundscape that pulls you in through piercing samples and hazy lyrics. While I often discuss specific tracks in my reviews, I think The Sorrow of Two Blooms stands on its own in a sense. I wouldn't be surprised if, like me, others find themselves listening to it because of the techno connection only to then realize that they are totally blown away in a rather unexpected manner. What could be perhaps best described as the lost soundtrack to Donnie Darko is a perspicuous view towards both the roots of electronic music and its future possibilities. This is by far my favourite Blackest Ever Black release and I urge everyone to check it out.
