Biography

The New York City-based trio Rasputina was led by singer/songwriter Melora Creager, a classically-trained cellist who backed Nirvana on the group's final tour. In 1992, Creager placed a want ad seeking other cellists to form a rock band; among those responding was Canadian musician Julie Kent, and with the later addition of Polish native Agnieszka Rybska, Rasputina was born.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rasputina, March 27, 2000
By Fuchsia (United States) - See all my reviews
I LOVE this album. It is very dark and gothic (not a marilyn manson type gothic but more of a victorian ghost story type gothic) and the music is very dreamy and haunting. Great lyrics, and I have fallen in love with the sound of the cello. Listen to this while reading Anne Rice or Anne Radcliffe, its got a nice Victorian feel to it. The only song I really don't care much for is Howard Hughes but the rest of the songs are great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and beautiful, September 2, 2004
This is Rasputina's first (and best) album. The cello music is inspired and much more noticeable than on their other albums, and the lyrics are remarkably insightful, ironic, and clever. It is also tinged with sadness, cynicism, and of course, the Victorian era and other tales from ages past, which is their trademark.

5.0 out of 5 stars an afternoon of sewing and dreaming, May 7, 2000
By Lilien Runje (Rohnert Park, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Every time I am listening to this album I feel as if I am a Victorian woman lost in dreams of another life, where I can do whatever I please. This CD is powerful. Very! I usually listen to it when I am in a pensive mood, or when I am doing a lot of homework for my classes, writing papers in History and so forth. Rasputina makes me proud to be a lady. Nowadays we have very downgrading music sung by women themselves. Strange. Rasputina is music for any lady who likes to be alone, sew, listen to rain and ponder life. If you like cellos, melancholy voices, slow melodies, and stories about historic figures, then hurry and buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for the Ether
I enjoy this CD. It's music is light, soothing, and the subjects of most of the songs can be a little sad.

Kate Moss? That gawddamn rollerskate song? Oh, no. The spoken tracks are equally repelling. There is really no atmosphere to this album.

One of my top fave Rasputina albums. Tons of great songs, very few joke songs, and great art work.
