Patrick Ogle was a member of the gothic ambient band Black Tape for a Blue Girl. Ogle was a long-time friend of band leader and Projekt Records founder Sam Rosenthal. Ogle performed on the band's "a chaos of desire" and later wrote and performed the title track on the "this lush garden within" CD. He also has written for the Miami Herald. Most notably, in the business section, travel articles, and also humor pieces in the Herald's weekly magazine, named Street. Ogle and Rosenthal formed the band Thanatos in the mid 1980s, releasing a cassette. There would not be another track recorded until a morose, dirge-like cover of K.C. and the Sunshine Band's "Thats The Way" appeared on the Projekt compilation "From Across This Grey Land 3". Ogle and Rosenthal would release the band's first full length, "This Endless Night Inside" in 1993 to be followed two years later with the doom-laden "An Embassy to Gaius." At this point the band became a live act enlisting guitarist William Tucker and bassist Eric Polcyn. The band toured the USA and Canada on three short tours and recorded the final Thanatos record, "Blisters"
