A classic and essential release of Esplendor Geométrico!
After their first single, ‘Necrosis en la poya’ (1981), Esplendor Geométrico released their first cassette that same year: “EG-1”. These works were self-produced and distributed by the band themselves, before the appearance of the Spanish independent record labels in the early 80s. The first edition of “EG-1” (300 copies) quickly sold out in the international underground circuit of cassette labels that was emerging during those years. It was reissued on the same format by different labels such as Datenverarbeitung (Germany, 1982), Ortega y Cassette (Barcelona, 1985), EGK (Madrid, 1987) and Línea Alternativa (Madrid, 1989), and later on there would be two CD editions.
Without a doubt, “EG-1” is one of the fundamental works by Esplendor Geométrico, and is also considered a classic of industrial music, where they started to develop their unique style of rhythmic-noisy-industrial which would be such a great influence on other artists afterwards. Tracks like ‘Muerte a escala industrial’, ‘Destrozaron sus ovarios’ and ‘Neuridrina’ are regarded by their fans as some of the best recorded by the band.
