ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO
COMPUESTO DE HIERRO (GEOMETRIK)
Recorded in Beijing in 2002 and out of print for over 15 years, Compuesto de Hierro was originally released only on CD and now for the first time on double vinyl including on side D four new and unreleased tracks recorded in 2022, inspired by the music on the album.
Now remastered for vinyl, the sleeve design is based on the original cover. "Compuesto de Hierro" is the most perfect example of the industrial-tribal sound of Esplendor Geométrico, developed over more than two decades, reminding us at times of their most "ethnic" album "Mekano-Turbo".
The hypnotic and elaborate rhythms are masterfully combined with teatred vocals, electronic analogue sounds, and sonorities from the Far East, especially from China.
"Compuesto de Hierro" represents a unique viewpoint in the fusion of traditional or ethnic music with classical industrial music.
Limited and numbered edition of 600 copies. Tracks from sides A, B & C: Originally released only on CD (Geometrik Records 2002), recorded in Beijing.
Tracks from side D: Unreleased, recorded in Madrid & Rome in 2022. Esplendor Geométrico: Arturo Lanz & Saverio Evangelista Composed by Arturo Lanz Design: Alonso Urbanos & Andrés Noarbe (original cover) Remastered 2022 by Luca Spagnoletti
