PULSION : the new album of Esplendor Geométrico. Available in CD Digipack and vinyl LP Limited.

PULSION is the new album of Esplendor Geometrico, the influential and acclaimed Spanish duo of survivors of the second industrial wave on the first eighties. It includes nine tracks recorded between november 2008 and April 2009. Some have been already played in their last performances in Leipzig, Madrid and Barcelona with great success. PULSION is in fact the album that follows Compuesto de Hierro (2003) as 8 Traks and Live (2007) can be considered as a transition, being a record made to go with the Dvd, and contained some tracks that were in fact versions of older ones. EG style continues having a unique and unmistakable mark that distinguishes them from later bands they have had influence onto. At first sight, Pulsion 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 and China) to be later electronically manipulated, others are simply speech fragments, as the one of 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 is in digipack + booklet. There will be also a limited vinyl edition on next September containing four tracks of the CD and two exclusive tracks for that format. Recorded in Beijing and Roma (2008-2009) by Arturo Lanz and Saverio Evangelista. All tracks composed by Arturo Lanz.
