Ever Elegant And Lady Like RASPUTINA Once Again Brings Forth A Beautiful Mix Of Gothism And Humor!
With The Perfect Beginning This Album Takes You Into A Dream Like World Filled With Dust, Broken Toys, Corsets, And Cellos!
You'll Notice The AMAZING VOCALS First! Then You'll Realize That All The Instrumentation Is Made Up Of Electronic Drums And Cello's! WHAT A MIX!! BRILLIANT!!
The Second Track Gets a Little More Experimental!! Great Use Of Backup Vocals!
The Third Track STATE FAIR Is I Guess The First Heavy Metal Track! Still Completely Cello and Electronic Drum Beat! Very MARILYN MANSON meets BECK!
Then We Have SWEET WATER KILL (THE OCEN SONG) Leaning Towards TECHNO DANCE But Still Mellow And Classical!
Skip Up A bit To RATS the Sixth Track On This Disc! Another MARILYN MANSONESQUE Track! With More Sweet Vocals!
Great Use Of Distortion On The Cellos!
The Next Song CLIPPED Reminds Me Of MAZZY STAR Or OPAL!
Then We Have The POINTLESS (Sorr Girls I Didn't Like This Track) PJ + VINCENT & MATTHES + BJORK
Now MY ORPHANAGE Sounds Like IT Should Be In A TIM BURTON MUSICAL!!! VERY GOOD!
And With A Cello Sound That PHILIP ANSELMO Would Bang His Head To We Have CROSS WALK
Then We Make It To My Favorite Track On This Album Titled HUNTER'S KISS! Why Is It My Favorite! I Love The Old Record Sound As Well As The Kick Ass Background Vocal Track!! Not To Mention IT's A Beautiful Story!
OUR LIES Has A Great Story Behind The Writing Of The Song! Go To Their Web Site For More Details!
Antiquehighheelreddollshoes Makes Me think of the Old Cartoon JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS! No Clue As To Why!!
The Last Listed Track A QUITTER Is Just As Beautiful As All The Other Tracks! Honestly I Could Hear THE CARPENTERS Doing THis! Which In My Book IS NOT A BAD THING!!
Then WE Have The Mandatory SECRET TRACK! Buy The CD To Hear That!
I Have To Say That ONCE AGAIN You Must See This Band LIVE To Truely Appreciate Them!
I Saw Them Open For Marilyn Manson Back In 1997 And Was Totally Blown Away!
I've Been A Fan Ever Since!
DOn't Forget To Check Out Their Other CD'S As Well
THANKS FOR THE ETHER
