Esplendor Geometrico

Fungus Cerebri

Fungus Cerebri (Selected Tracks From Cassettes 1981-1989) is a double LP in gatefold sleeve which includes a selection of tracks by Esplendor Geometrico originally released on cassette, recorded between 1981-1989. They have been remastered from the original tapes for this edition. The 16 tracks are taken from "Sinn & Form" cassette compilation (Daterverarbeitung 1982), "En directo Madrid y Tolosa" (EGK 1987, cassette), "Esplendor Geometrico en Roma" (EGK 1986, cassette), "Madrid Mayo 89" (Linea Alternativa 1990, cassette), and "Diez anos de Esplendor" (Linea Alternativa 1991, double cassette). The 80s are a period particularly appreciated by the followers of this cult band, pioneers of the more rhythmic strain of industrial music. Minimalism, raw and harsh analogue electronica, distortion, Arabic sounds, shortwave radio recordings... are typical elements of their style during this first period of Esplendor Geometrico, when they achieved a sound ahead of its time which is still imitated nowadays. Esplendor Geometrico were always very present within the 80s international scene of underground cassette labels. This double LP is the first one of a series dedicated to this movement in Spain, still very unknown despite its activity at the time, with dozens of labels operating from different cities. Artwork by Juan Carlos Sastre, founding member of Esplendor Geometrico. Track selection by Andrs Noarbe, the bands manager since their beginnings in 1980 and director of Geometrik Records.
