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.

Famous quotes containing the word flowers:
“And so I look on those sentiments which make the glory of the human being, love, humility, faith, as being also the intimacy of Divinity in the atoms; and, that, as soon as the man is right, assurances and previsions emanate from the interior of his body and his mind; as, when flowers reach their ripeness, incence exhales from them, and, as a beautiful atmosphere is generated from the planet by the averaged emanations from all its rocks and soils.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
