The first offspring was a tape between May and June 1995 at "Roofcat jj" studio, in the north bank of the lake of Varese, by the skillful hand of J. Pasquetti. In the same year Nasten'ka played a few gigs supporting the unforgotten Asphodel, a milestone and a band which is still close to our harts.

Our drummer, Alberto, leaves the band before the end of the year. After the struggle with that, and fixing the problems of fitting a new human being in the collective, we recorded "Any Longer", with Francesco at the drumset. Antonio replaced Francesco at the drums.
