Expanded reissue, originally released in 2009. Esplendor Geométrico's style continues having a unique and unmistakable mark that distinguishes them from later bands they have had influence onto. At first sight, Pulsión is pure industrial hypnosis 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 from traditional Arab and oriental music (Mongolia, China, Tibet...) to be later electronically manipulated, others are simply speech fragments, as the one of a leader of a radical political 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 sources have been chosen for their strength and sonority. New cover design by Juan Carlos Sastre, founding member of EG, inspired by the original one. Special reissue, with a bonus LP. Not available on vinyl for more than twelve years. Includes a reconstruction of "Aplicación Insospechada" by M.S.B. and Luca Spagnoletti. Includes for the first time on vinyl the five exclusive tracks from the original CD version. 2023 remaster; edition of 600 (numbered).
