"...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...", "...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...", "...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-, "...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...", 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...."
