Description
Tabula Rasa- Plateau/Bell Tower Swing LATHE CUT double 7" single (Synapse Records)
Very limited (20 copies made I believe) double lathe cut from New Zealand's Tabula Rasa. This record bridges New Zealand bands like The Dead C and Thela with an almost motorik like repetition from drummer Chris Heazlewood (of Xpressway tapes/King Loser and Olla fame).Very rare and worth having, this one is tightly grooved and dates to 1998 so be aware it's an early lathe cut and as such may require some extra weight on the tone arm to track well.

Side A. 1. Plateau (part 1)
K. Michael: Electric Guitar
S. Schmidt: Bass (Stuart Schmidt of Crawlspace)
C. Heazlewood : Drums (Chris Heazlewood of King Loser/Olla)

I wrote in Popwatch 10's New Zealand Vanguard piece of Tabula Rasa:
Tabula Rasa = Kelly Michael
As Tabula Rasa, Kelly Michael is perhaps the most low profile of the artists featured here. Quietly releasing the occassional lathe disc, Michael has seemingly shuned much of the community participation, releasing all of his work himself and working with a small group of friends unconnected to other bands (as far as I can tell). Tabula Rasa deftly take a sound similar to late '80's Dead C. (perhaps it's just his Michael Morley-ish vocal timbre) into a seperate direction than that band chose. Primarily vocally based, the project exploits bedroom recording to create some astonishing intense and beautiful recordings (particularly the 10" "Tabula Rasa" EP and Michael's solo "Large Distances For Jack-Flag Purple Gats LP). Occassionally specifically instrumental and at others sombrely folk inspired in a sort of cross between Alastair Galbraith and gentler Velvet Underground, Tabula Rasa are not at all noise inspired nor improvisational but rather a delightful concoction of the aforementioned legends with elements of British folk and NZ's The Garbage And The Flowers as well. Hopefully Tabula Rasa will grown in visibility and continue to create great records as they have in the past.
7"s are VG (some surface noise, look clean)/Cover is MINT-.
