ESPLENDOR GEOMÉTRICO - Tarikat (Limted Black Vinyl) - 2LP

Limited Edition of strictly 500 copies, including inner sleeve, coming with an exclusive ‘Retro-Style’ Postcard!

Style: Electro-Industrial, Esplendor Gemétrico Finally available for the first time EVER, a double Vinyl Version of the classic EG album ‘Tarikat’. It includes most of the tracks (recorded between 1986 and 1989) released on the now super rare double CD of the same title, released by Dirk Ivens DAFT Records in 1997° and sold out for more than 25 years, and previously on cassette (Diez Años de Esplendor, L.A.1991). 16 tracks, specially remastered for this release, that show E.G.'s unique sound in the eighties close to other albums as “Arispejal Astisaró”, “Nador” or “Sheikh Aljama”. This is a period especially appreciated by E.G. fans, where they developed their original and unique style that influenced many later groups and artists of industrial music and even certain forms of techno. Rough, primitive and minimalist, the tracks are constructed on distorted and noisy rhythms, sometimes “industrial”, sometimes with tribal and African influences using synthesizers and analog electronic instruments. Gabriel Riaza, founding member of E.G. (he left in 1991), worked in Melilla (North Africa) during those years, and this influenced the conception of many of Tarikat's tracks. The images used are by Andrés Noarbe, in charge of the graphics for Esplendor Geométrico during the eighties and the bands manager for decades. The general design is by Alonso Urbanos. Recorded by Arturo Lanz and Gabriel Riaza in Madrid and Melilla (North Africa) between 1986 and 1989.
