Raison Detre . Tales from the Tabula Rasa/Early Works 1988 - 1991 (2CD)

his not the new album! This is Raison d'être from another time and world and sounds quite different! 'Tales from the Tabula Rasa' contains 150 minutes of music and comes in a 6-panel Digipak enriched with photos by Roman Sirotin and painting by Jennifer Gordon and Roman Sirotin. All music by Peter Andersson 1988-1991. Reworked 2014.

'Tales from the Tabula Rasa' presents Raison d'être in its earliest form, when there was no past and only future. This was the birth of Raison d'être and the creative music mind of Peter Andersson. In one way it can be seen as the first particles to the seed that later became the established Raison d'être sound in the 1990's. In the other way it can be seen as the evil twin seed that was left to die in an early stage, like if it was a stillborn or an infanticide.
