Nelsh Bailter Space is an EP by New Zealand band Bailter Space, released in 1987.[3][4] It peaked at number 39 on the New Zealand Singles Chart.[5]
Critical reception[]
Trouser Press wrote that "right from the band’s debut EP, Nelsh, guitarist John Halvorsen specialized in an abrasive, almost pitchless assault that could feel as polished and smooth as sheet metal, and his foils ... worked to feed that sound, contributing feedback gales and arty, disjointed backbeats that never felt fully settled."[3] The Spin Alternative Record Guide called it "whiskey-sour pop sludge," singling out "El Whizzo."[6]
