Title:	Veritatis Splendor
Label:	GEOMETRIK (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	GR 006CD

Geometrik presents a new reissue (2009) of a classic album by influential Spanish industrial cult band Esplendor Geométrico. Veritatis Splendor (1994) is the first Esplendor Geométrico album recorded in the '90s, after their split release with Most Significant Beat. It sets the beginning of a new period for the band, where the incorporation of digital technology, synths and rhythms can be felt. Veritatis keeps the typical characteristics of E.G.'s sound but with greater production and complex rhythmic structures, achieving an original and personal fusion of classic industrial sound with elements of tribal music and avant-garde techno. It has a bigger variety of registers than in their newer repertoire, ranging from the hypnotic "La Radio Al Día," the classical sound of "Poder De Ruptura," and the bright dance rhythms of "Ensayo De Compresión," or "La Meta Del Servicio," an exciting sequence that is really surprising, including some tribal screams. Another noticeable element is the constant presence of radiophonic emissions throughout the entire album. This classic of the genre has been sold out since 1995 and is now finally available again, remastered and with different artwork.

Artist:	MOST SIGNIFICANT BEAT
Title:	Música y Electrónica
Label:	GEOMETRIK (SPAIN)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	GR 2110CD

Most Significant Beat was born in 1991 as a project formed by Saverio Evangelista (member of Esplendor Geométrico since 1992) and Maurizio Martinucci (TeZ). Their published records have been sold out for many years: several 12"s, the album Electrons At Work and two split release: Control Remoto 1.0 with Esplendor Geométrico and Control Remoto 2.0. At last, Geometrik releases a new double CD that includes more than an hour of unreleased material (13 tracks) recorded between 1998 and 2004, and also includes a selection of the best M.S.B. tracks hand-picked by the band themselves: 33 tracks in total. M.S.B.'s music is based on rhythms and electronic sound, sometimes pure industrial, and other times nearer to electro or ambient techno. Their music has echoes of cyber-tech in the style of Clock DVA, or E.G. in their less noise-ist way. M.S.B. continue their work while also developing their solo careers. Maurizio is now working on an ambitious audio-visual project named Optophonica together with avant garde electronic musicians such as Frank Bretschneider, Scanner, Francisco López, etc. Saverio Evangelista has two albums on the Hands label, and another together with the industrial music legend Maurizio Bianchi released in Japan, along with his work with E.G.

Catalog #:	GR 2112CD

Title:	Sheikh Aljama
Label:	GEOMETRIK (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	GR 2116CD

Geometrik presents the reissue, remastered from the original tapes, of a classic Esplendor Geométrico record sold out for more than 15 years!: Sheikh Aljama was recorded between 1987 and 1989 (and originally published by Daft Records), an especially interesting period where the unique and characteristic rhythmic-industrial EG style, developed in the '80s, turns more minimalistic, schematic, cold and rough, with sporadic influences of Arabic music and rhythms. Sheikh Aljama is an Esplendor Geométrico classic and one of the best albums of their whole career, including their hit "Sinaya." Sheikh Aljama stands out for its incorporation of sonorities, voices and percussion with Arabic elements, due in great measure to Gabriel Riaza, who a few years later would leave E.G. and convert to Islam. Released in digipack format for the first time ever and includes a 4-page booklet.

Title:	Comisario De La Luz/Blanco De Fuerza
Label:	GEOMETRIK (SPAIN)
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.50
Catalog #:	GR 2121LP

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.

Title:	Kosmos Kino
Label:	GEOMETRIK (SPAIN)
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.50
Catalog #:	GR 2122LP

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 (there's 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.

Title:	Desarrollos Geométricos
Label:	GEOMETRIK (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	GR 2123CD

Desarrollos Geométricos (Geometric Developments) is the new album by influential Spanish cult legends Esplendor Geométrico. Recorded during 2010 and 2011, a few of the tracks on this release premiered at the band's 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, 2009's 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 won't be able to stop listening to them over and over again. The CD version includes 9 tracks, while the limited vinyl edition has 6 (3 of which are exclusive, vinyl-only tracks).

Artist:	CIDRON, JUAN MANUEL
Title:	Patagon
Label:	GEOMETRIK (SPAIN)
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.50
Catalog #:	GR 2124LP

Juan Manuel Cidrón, from Almeria (Andalusia), is a prominent Spanish synth-player who began playing in 1985. A veteran of analog electronic sounds, his early influences were the Berlin School of the '70s (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, etc.) and American minimal music. Cidrón has released nine albums on his own label (Extraradio) with a very limited distribution. As a child, Cidrón fell in love with a radio that had flashing lights, as well as with the music that was broadcast through it. With the little money he had in his youth, he would spend it all on records and analog machines. His music is a celebration of life -- the immensity of his electronic keyboards offers listeners the immensity of the desert, snow, wind... records like Tau or Sonido Para Acciones belong to the imaginarium of Spanish electronic music and also to the imaginarium of lovers of sonic poetry and soaring music. This vinyl edition is special -- it is a return to analog, to which Cidrón is devout, and to which he will continue to be loyal. In this way, it is a classic, as is his continuous pledge to the quality that is the resounding conjunction between natural and artificial pulsation. The result is uniquely his: a material body that approaches the dream-world. Limited edition of 500 copies with printed inner sleeve.
