Living Dead Doll I love this album so much. "Bad Dreams" has a tiny snippet of "A Nightmare On Elm Street"! 🖤💞 Favorite track: Sad Eye Doll.

One By One 04:48
The shadows surrounding strange how they move one by one The curtains are drawing twisted stand alone one by one In silence, the wreckage bleeding hearts succumb one by one Vacant souls you and I Images born to die Fingerprints to be made fingerprints always fade One more truth one more lie one more need to wonder why Paper dolls gone insane warm insides still remain Shallow eyes navigate wicked path demonstrate The shadows are marching one by one the wretched they're finding one by one One more truth one more lie one more need to wonder why

Medicine 03:07
Need a dose of therapy the cure is not in front of me crippled with loyal disease I've tried every one of these This will help you this will hurt you Something tells me I'm not well locked up in this padded cell sometimes I must be restrained strange relations when I'm chained This will help you this will hurt you Let the sick wash over me inside the gates from where I see find release when I submit to the illness I admit something tells me I'm not well locked up in this padded cell This will help you this will hurt you

Mask Of Silence Hold out my hand mixed blessings received I must defend myself against the odds preconceived Shadowy figures, what's their intent Dirt on their hands, they're not innocent You must hold this mask of silence You can wait now in the violence Precious by day victim by sight Little time left to bring injustice to the light I must allow myself some places to go where they cannot find me A side I'll never show You must hold this mask of silence You can wait now in the violence You must come now we've been waiting One more lost soul for the taking

Stranger 03:30
Stranger Forgot I could see your face I don't look anymore Letters from the past touch in between the pains that last I kept holding on are you holding on Can you find me See, time's the stranger Have you found now where there was danger Silence and miles Long before we closed the door And you wait so long that the truth is still unknown I have a different heart different eyes see through the part Are you holding on Forgot I could see your face I don't look anymore Letters from the past touch in between the pains that last I kept holding on Are you holding on Can you find me See, time's the stranger Have you found now where there was danger Silence and miles Long before we closed the door

Ubiquitous 02:46
Ubiquitous Stripped away Ego burns, visions stay Integrate Knowledge found, love and hate Somehow it's all the same empty screams devoid of blame forever trying to replace an incomplete mystery face Trauma takes Innocence, cradle breaks Without a trace Fairy tale falling grace Somehow it's all the same we get strong in a twisted game Holding on to fate missing link, hollow state
6.
Wasteland 02:13
Nothing comes as close as you to the truth I'm searching for If I never find my way through the wasteland taste of sour dreams I guess I've been here before Hold me now give me a sign I will be blindly faithful One more chance to find a relic of survival Through the mazes of the soul I have seen the moments pour Will you guide me to the truth through the wasteland I see in my dreams I have not been here before
7.
Sad Eye Doll 02:44
Sad Eye Doll Little steps through the hall ever find ever fall sleeping pill whisper tall weeping words on the wall Echo the endless, echo the essence ever eternal, the sleep of a sad eye doll Quiet dead breath of night hallowed hollow sight wretched need in the light paler shade pallor white broken teeth heart alone sleeping child still unknown fingers crossed cold as stone tiny dreams ever sewn Echo the endless, echo the essence ever eternal, the sleep of a sad eye doll Gutter holes stuffed with rabbits' feet as blood ran through the street blindfolds washed up on the shore in the alleyways of limbos' door

Dirty Ritual 02:44
Dirty Ritual We'll build a dirty ritual An alter on fire we'll build a dirty ritual we'll find our own messiah Give us our communion now sometime we'd forgotten how we need blood and sacrifice felt the noose paid the price this unholy time we pray will not be our judgement day We'll build a dirty ritual An alter on fire we'll build a dirty ritual we'll find our own messiah Keep us quiet, medicate all these lives that suffocate when we're numb and still with fear we won't know what brought us here we can hardly concentrate on who we are are and what we hate We'll build a dirty ritual An alter on fire we'll build a dirty ritual we'll find our own messiah

Disintegrate 03:48
Apocalypse, inside your hand Matches strike, your demand Stars gone out, mirrors break Nothing more, give or take I watch you set the world on fire We watch the world disintegrate I find you with one desire To watch the world disintegrate Dirty magic casts a spell Ashes fall souls to tell Sacred heart on it's knees Voodoo scars no one sees Coursing through every vein The disease meets with restrain Blood is spilled violent red Broken words never said I watch you set the world on fire We watch the world disintegrate I find you with one desire To watch the world disintegrate Turning out burning eyes Faded convoluted skies Dead asylums, haunted sleep Madmen find, madmen keep Hang on an inverted cross Cornerstones to touch the loss Mark my words, a record bare Salem burns 'til no one's there I watch you set the world on fire We watch the world disintegrate I find you with one desire To watch the world disintegrate Blinding how your tinders glow Incinerate, 'cinerate! Incandescent tortures grow Incinerate, 'cineraaate! We watch the world disintegrate To watch the world disintegrate

Bad Dreams 03:19
Something watching me wake up, still can't see Something in the air the night leaves me bare Wake to restless doubt and fear creeping out Strange light comes my way bad dreams, here to stay Underground light machine twisted forms are making their way in Won't say what they mean cryptic and obscene Falling through the seam it was just a dream Some things hide too deep find me in my sleep One realm, haunting night lost in tainted sight Devil angels sing my mind's offering Strange light comes my way bad dreams, here to stay Underground light machine twisted forms are making their way in Pray my soul to keep when this grim will reap Focused on despair signs are everywhere Uknown in this skin what the darkness bring Strange light comes my way bad dreams, here to stay Won't say what they mean cryptic and obscene Falling through the seam it was just a dream
11.
Dying Kind 03:06
Closer darling we're the dying the kind lucid, feel me touch where I am blind In the shadow that you make In the serpent that you wake Says the bell of every tower You take a piece of power Closer darling through our deep disguise waking underneath the darkest skies In the shadow that you make In the serpent that you wake Says the bell of every tower You take a piece of power Closer, find me through, we seek and hide quiet soldiers to the other side In the shadow that you make In the serpent that you wake Says the bell of every tower
12.
The Big Reveal The silence is a game one last right final claim stake into the heart of blame potent light upon the shame In the light of the remains the killing wars, the ways we came In the light of lost, insane the killing was all a game Gutted dreams, violet stain focus lost on the pain disconnected from the brain scapel nurse, we break the chain In the light of the remains the killing wars, the ways we came In the light of lost, insane the killing was all a game Shut down functions, poison seal siamese watchers kneel waiting for something real torn apart, the big reveal In the light of the remains the killing wars, the ways we came In the light of lost, insane the killing was all a game Imprint steps, walk away static traces, remnants stay box of blood and worms to keep sorrow ghosts from which they seep In the light of the remains the killing wars, the ways we came In the light of lost, insane the killing was all a game

about

The Friday the 13th special has now ended! ;)

The official debut album 2006.

This is darkwave. This is electrogoth. Jaymie redefines what dark electronic and dark ambient should be with this album. The tracks are strong, expressive, emotive and accessible. The whole album is expertly executed and aims to strike a chord with your deepest emotions and darkest thoughts. By the end of the album you are left aching for more. Exquisite darkness that is painfully wonderful. ----Chris Stead, Althaus Webzine

There's at least a touch of Skinny Puppy in Jaymie Valentine's past. It comes through in subtle ways on her debut album, in the slow electro beats of "Mask Of Silence" or the simple synthesizer arpeggios of "Stranger." Valentine's Cindergarden project, however, is ultimately less about industrial terror than disquieting dreams; there's a dark surrealism throughout her music that perfectly matches the whimsical but creepy album art. Think Rasputina with keyboards instead of cellos, or perhaps a dreamier, more languid version of the psychotic dolly imagery of Switchblade Symphony and Jack Off Jill. It's all lovely stuff, ranging from synthpop-influenced dance tracks like "Ubiquitous" to softer pieces like "Sad Eye Doll," with tinny electric pianos on "Bad Dreams" and music box chimes on "Wasteland" giving things a particular feeling of nostalgia that evokes Victorian ghost children languishing in dusty attics. "Dirty Ritual" is also a stunning track, with fuzzy vocals contrasted by crisp, lacy harpsichords. Valentine delivers most of her vocals in a sort of breathy whisper that's quite suited to the album's moods, but the rich harmonies of "Dying Kind" show a voice that's arrestingly pretty when she wants it to be. Underground Light Machine is a stunning debut, and presages great things to come. Valentine has already discovered her artistic voice; the only question left is what she will say with it next. ----Matthew Johnson, Grave Concerns
