Tabula Rasa [Digipak]

Entertainment Weekly (2/19/93, p.63) - "...for the past 12 years they've ripped pop apart by using stuff like a shopping cart, cable cords, and burning oil to create beat, texture, and--dare I say--melody..." - Rating: A- Alternative Press (4/93, p.59) - "...[Einsturzende] Neubauten's most soulful creation to date...this band has arrived at every bit of musical tendency it possesses through a series of serious sonic experiments...on a par with Laurie Anderson, Tom Waits, and John Cale, as this album demonstrates..." The Wire (4/00, p.44) - "...A highly personal fusion of myths, metaphors and cosmologies....a perfect mesh of word, sound and feeling...eliciting an immediate emotional understanding, no matter how obtuse their concept..." Option (5-6/93, p.100) - "...Herr Bargeld and crew can still stay a step ahead of the pack and put out interesting records. Their delicately woven songs [on TABULA RASA] cover a lot of headroom....Einsturzende Neubauten have smartly backed away from a policy of power through excess..." NME (Magazine) (12/25/93, p.67) - Ranked #47 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...For their most adventurous, thought-provoking and yet strangely accessible LP yet, Einsturzende Neubauten took an archeologist's approach to sound and showed that life existed outside the sanitized mainstream...."
