Esplendor Geometrico MEKANO-TURBO (2022 REISSUE)
Mekano-Turbo (Discos Esplendor Geométrico.LP 1988) is the fourth album and a classic inside the discography of legendary and influential Spanish Industrial cult band Esplendor Geométrico. Now available again in its original format, remastered in 2022, and unavailable on vinyl for more than 11 years.
Finally, the fury is unleashed in all its splendour. The superb three initial tracks are pure rhythmic adrenaline on which is supported the totally runaway voice of Arturo Lanz. "Rotor" would be even considered as a not intentioned approximation to the electronic body music. In the same wave are also located "Belew" and "Mekano-Turbo". On the other hand, it seems to be that the residence of Gabriel in Melilla (North Africa) and the consequent proximity of the arabic culture it influences on some tracks ("Sheikh", “Transmisión”). Considered by the media and many fans as a masterpiece of the group. The wonderful cover continues the customary line of showing strange machines or decadent industrial buildings.
The album cover reproduces the original artwork but the back cover is exclusive and different.

ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO
EL PULSO DEL ACERO: SHINKANSEN
El Pulso del Acero: Shinkansen is Esplendor Geométrico's new album, featuring 16 powerful tracks that showcase the electric and industrial energy of this group with its unique and unmistakable style. The raw power of their early work is also present here in brilliant reconstructions of some of their 80s tracks (Rotorama, Trybuna V,…) now very different or even unrecognizable, as well as other tracks of futuristic and innovative industrial music closer to their previous album, Strepitus Rhythmicus. Ten tracks were recorded in 2025 in Tokyo, where Arturo Lanz (founding member of E.G.) currently resides, and the other six were released only on CD in an ultra-limited edition (long sold out) shared with the group De Fabriek in 2023, now finally available on vinyl.
Recorded in Tokyo, Madrid, and Rome in 2023 and 2025. Master: Luca Spagnoletti. Graphic Design: Alonso Urbanos.
Born in 1980 as a trio, and currently a duo formed by Arturo Lanz (founding member) and Saverio Evangelista (member since 1991), Esplendor Geométrico is an influential and international electronic cult band and also a rare case in the Spanish music scene, as they have developed their own independent path aside from tags, fashion or trends, in spite of being often classified as industrial music. Their career for more than four decades hasn’t had interruptions. They haven’t stopped composing, releasing albums or playing live.Their influence has marked many later artists, usually classified in the so-called industrial music or rhythm & noise, as well as artists from current techno and certain types of experimental noise music.
