Artist: ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO Title: 1980-1981 Prehistoric Sounds - Necrosis en la Poya & More Format: CD/3x7" Box Set Label: Geometrik Country: Spain Price: $39.00 |
"Special deluxe edition, limited to 1,000 numbered copies in a hard cardboard box set which includes three 7" singles (each with its own sleeve), a CD in a slim cardboard sleeve, an 8-page booklet and a numbered card. It contains the first material recorded by Spanish cult legends Esplendor Geométrico between 1980 and 1981. One of the singles includes their first demo, recorded after their formation, with three tracks of industrial-minimal-techno-pop, among which is the well-known "Moscú Está Helado." This demo was sent in 1980 to the German label Ata Tak, run by Der Plan, who chose "Moscú..." for their legendary compilation Fix Planet!. The second single is a facsimile reissue of Necrosis en la Poya, originally released in 1981 and which already shows EGs shift towards harsher industrial rhythms. Finally, the third single includes four tracks recorded in 1981 soon after Necrosis... Three of them are previously-unreleased and were found recently on an old, lost reel tape. The CD includes the 10 tracks from the singles plus another five extra tracks from the same period, originally released on the cassette Esplendor Geométrico 1980-1981. The 8-page booklet features texts, designs and period photos. All tracks have been remastered and the artwork is by Juan Carlos Sastre, professional designer and founding member of EG." -Geometrik. |

Artist: ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO Title: Comisario De La Luz/Blanco De Fuerza Format: LP Label: Geometrik Country: Spain Price: $20.00 |
|
"The second album by influential Spanish industrial cult band Esplendor Geométrico, recorded in 1985, is now available again in its original format. After the first LP Héroe Del Trabajo? (1982) and a long period of little activity, E.G. reappeared in 1986 with Comisario De La Luz/Blanco De Fuerza. A record of obscure, rough and squeaky sounds in which they showed that, in spite of the elapsed time from the previous album, E.G. had their ideas clearer than never. Subsonic frequencies ("Comisario De La Luz II"), minimal rhythms ("Blanco De Fuerza II"), and even melodic lines congenially distorted ("Blanco De Fuerza III") certify a record which recovers the noise spirit from the beginnings of the band. Includes an exclusive inner sleeve. Limited, hand-numbered edition of 700." -Geometrik.

Artist: ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO Title: Desarrollos Geometricos Format: LP Label: Geometrik Country: Spain Price: $20.00 |
|
"Limited LP version. Desarrollos Geométricos (Geometric Developments) is the new album by influential Spanish cult legends Esplendor Geomerico. Recorded during 2010 and 2011, a few of the tracks on this release premiered at the bands performances in Europe. Esplendor Geométrico has developed a unique and personal style that has influenced many groups and is increasingly moving away from the clichés of Industrial Music. Arturo Lanz, who heads the group, thinks that they can no longer be labeled as "industrial." "Our music is deep, powerful, primitive and hypnotic, using electronic instruments and new technologies," he says. Desarrollos Geométricos follows in the steps of their previous album, 2009s impressive Pulsión, which was remixed on a 10" release by renowned musicians such as Frank Bretschneider and Atom TM. Repetitive and mechanic electronic rhythms are intermingled with recordings of voices, shouts, samples from traditional oriental music and percussions. Some tracks induce a kind of trance, and you wont be able to stop listening to them over and over again. Features 6 tracks, including 3 vinyl-only exclusives not on the CD." -Geometrik

Artist: ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO Title: El Acero del Partido/Heroe del Trabajo Format: LP Label: Geometrik Country: Spain Price: $20.00 |
| "Limited vinyl reissue of the first LP from Spanish industrial band Esplendor Geométrico. An industrial classic originally released in 1982 on the Tic Tac label, Esplendor Geométricos sound was already devoid of aggressive lyrics and even titles for their tracks (the A-side, El Acero del Partidio, is spread across five tracks while the B-side, Héroe Del Trabajo, has three tracks). Their sound had already begun to acquire a personality of its own, not fully mature but with an astounding austerity nonetheless: repetitive litanies infected by impossible machine sounds, noisy buzzes, organized metallurgy and newscasts from Eastern Europe, that glare by moments. For many fans, this is the best Esplendor Geométrico album and remains an absolute classic. Limited to 700 numbered copies; includes the cover and insert of the original, incredibly rare first edition." - Geometrik. |

Artist: ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO Title: Kosmos Kino Format: LP Label: Geometrik Country: Spain Price: $20.00 |
| "Originally released in 1988, Kosmos Kino is the third album and a classic inside the discography of legendary and influential Spanish industrial cult band Esplendor Geométrico. Now available again in its original format. After a start in which the line of acute distortions and buzzy basses of their previous albums continues, it follows a surprising rhythmic viscerality, reaching its peak on the track "Trybuna Robotnicza," suitable for the most frantic dance and one of the greatest moments in their vast discography. Though this is a live recording, the sound does not differ too much from their studio recordings (theres no claps or sign of human presence), and it could be considered as the stylistic bridge to their Mekano-Turbo LP. Original artwork and exclusive inner sleeve; numbered limited edition of 700 copies." -Geomtrik. |

"This is the fourth album and a classic inside the discography of legendary and influential Spanish industrial cult band Esplendor Geométrico. Originally released in 1988, its now available again in its original format, reissued by Geometrik Records. Finally, the fury is unleashed in all its splendor. The superb three initial tracks are pure rhythmic adrenaline on which is supported the totally runaway voice of Arturo Lanz. "Rotor" would be even considered as an unintentional approximation to electronic body music, as would "Belew" and "Mekano-Turbo." On the other hand, Gabriels stay in Melilla, North Africa imparts an influence from Arabic culture on tracks such as "Sheikh" and "Transmisión." Considered by the media and many fans as the groups masterpiece, the wonderful cover continues the customary line of showing strange machines and decadent industrial buildings. Includes an inner sleeve with rare photos and text. Numbered edition of 500 copies." - Geometrik.

Artist: ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO Title: Pulsión Format: LP Label: Geometrik Country: Spain Price: $29.00 |

"Pulsión is the new album of Esplendor Geometrico, the influential and acclaimed Spanish duo of survivors of the second Industrial wave on the early eighties. It includes six tracks (in the LP version) recorded between November 2008 and May 2009. Some have been already played in their last performances in Leipzig, Madrid and Barcelona with great success. Esplendor Geométricos style continues to have a unique and unmistakable mark that distinguishes them from later bands they have had an influence on. At first sight, Pulsión is pure Industrial hypnosis based on the electronic manipulation of sounds together with irresistible rhythms, repetitive, machine-like, industrial, hypnotic, sometimes tribal, sometimes danceable, that mix up voices and chants. Some of them are taken from traditional Arab and oriental musics (Mongolia, China,Tibet..) to be later electronically manipulated, others are simply speech fragments, as the one of a leader of a radical political party in Japan, Che Guevara, or an anti-occidental harangue from an Islamist leader. But the idea of EG is not to transmit any political or ideological message, the sources have been chosen for their strength and sonority. The LP Pulsion (limited 500 copies!) will contain 6 tracks: 4 from the CD version + 2 exclusive tracks: Metallum and Lamas." -- Geometrik
