Esplendor Geometrico. Pulsion. CD.

Dominic Pulsión is the all new album by legendary Esplendor Geometrico, the influential and acclaimed Spanish duo of survivors of the second Industrial wave of the early Eighties! It includes nine tracks recorded between november 2008 and May 2009. Some have been already been played during their last performances in Leipzig, Madrid and Barcelona with great success. Pulsión is in fact the album that follows their so far latest ‘new’ album ‘Compuesto de Hierro’ (2003), as the CD+DVD release ‘8 Traks and Live’ (2007) has to be considered as a kind of ‘transition-release’, being a record made to accompany the DVD, and containing some tracks that were in fact new versions of older ones. Esplendor Geométrico’s style continues to have that absolutely unique and unmistakable mark, that distinguishes them from later bands, they had a major influence on. At first sight, Pulsión is based on the electronic manipulation of sounds together with irresistible rhythms, repetitive, machine-like, industrial, hypnotic, sometimes tribal, sometimes danceable, that mix up with voices and chants. Some of them are taken fom traditional arab and oriental musics (Mongolia, China,Tibet…) to be later electronically manipulated, others are simply speech fragments, such as the one by a leader of a radical 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 spurces have been chosen for their strength and sonority. The first edition of the new album comes in a digipak CD with booklet. Released on Geometrik and available September 10th, 2009. <
