Flowers In Formaldehyde
"Flowers in Formaldehyde" is the second EP by darkwave band Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, and was released in 2004 as a companion to the album "La Chambre D'Echo" - Where the dead Birds sing. Only 2,000 CDs and 700 LPs were pressed.
Originally announced as The Adventures of Ms Penny Dreadful, "Flowers" featured four new songs, two instrumentals of songs from "La Chambre D'Echo" and an extensive remix of "Do you know my Name ?" from Sopor Aeternus' first album, "...Ich töte mich jedesmal aufs Neue, doch ich bin unsterblich, und ich erstehe wieder auf; in einer Vision des Untergangs...". The first half of the EP remains some of Sopor Aeternus' most pop-oriented work yet.
"Flowers in Formaldehyde" was re-issued the following year as part of the rarities box set Like a Corpse standing in Desperation. Apocalyptic Vision explained that extensive counterfeiting of the EP was cause for its inclusion in the set.

“My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.”
—Robert Bresson (b. 1907)
“All the flowers of the spring
Meet to perfume our burying;
These have but their growing prime,
And man does flourish but his time.
Survey our progress from our birth—
We are set, we grow, we turn to earth”
—John Webster (c. 1580–1638)
