5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most original albums of the 90s!, 16 Jun 2002
By Scott Murray (Ayrshire, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thanks for the Ether (Audio CD)
The deceptively relaxing feel of birds chirping in
the trees is soon broken by the thunderous playing
on "My Little Shirtwaist Fire". Don't let the "Ladies
Cello Society" tag fool you. These gals really know
how to rock out in their inspired mixing of chamber
music and rock playing/structure.
And rock they do, on tracks like the aforementioned
opening song, "Stumpside" and "Howard Hughes"
(don't tell me this song isn't punk rock, just because
there are no guitars).

There are plenty of quieter moments too of course.
One of Rasputina's main strengths is in creating
atmosphere and mood, from the morbidly hilarious
spoken word of "The Donner Party" to the haunting
sounds of "Crybabies", "Dig Ophelia" and the lilting
"Endomorph".
"Transylvanian Concubine" has bewitched and enticed
many a Buffy fan with it's gothic sound and evocatice
lyrics. Melora Creager is a fine songwriter and this
is demonstrated throughout the album on tracks like
"Any Old Actress", "Rusty The Skatemaker" and "Trust
All Stars". She has a quirky and bizarre sense of
humour, as evidenced by her extoling the virtues of
cannibas on "Sister Sleep" ("wee lee-ike to smoke pohot,
wee lee-ike it a lohot"). Other examples of the group's
quirkiness can be found in their choice of covers.
Even if the title "Brand New Key" doesn't ring a bell,
the lyrics and the song will be instantly familiar.
The term "alternative" has been carelessly applied so
often to even the most mainstream and pedestrian of
music that it has long ceased to mean anything.
However Rasputina certainly qualify in the old Velvet
Underground sense. One of the best and most original
albums or groups to come out of the 1990s.

4.0 out of 5 stars alternative rock with an easy listening twist, 23 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Thanks for the Ether (Audio CD)
Strange, eerie, mad, weird, joyful, sad and eccentric all of which are combined in this mixture of styles. Not one for everybody I'll admit, but should be on the list of any music follower with a passion for the more intelligent music. My favourite tracks include Transylvanian concubine (Buffy soundtrack) and Why don't you do right. To sum up, Spice girl lovers stay away. King crimson and Jepp fans plus the more eccentric of you out there, get it now!
