Geometrik

Geometrik is a Spanish record label specializing in Electronic, Experimental, and Industrial music. Founded by an influential figure in the industry in 1986, it has been based in Madrid ever since. Originally known as Discos Esplendor Geométrico, the label underwent a rebranding in 1991 and became Geometrik.

With a rich history spanning over three decades, Geometrik has established itself as a leading force within the electronic music scene. The label's diverse roster of artists includes some of the most innovative and boundary-pushing musicians in the genre.

Geometrik's commitment to pushing boundaries is evident not only through its artist selection but also through its dedication to releasing music that challenges traditional notions of sound. With a focus on experimental and industrial sounds, Geometrik offers listeners a unique sonic experience that pushes the limits of what can be achieved with electronic music.

Mekano-Turbo is the fourth album and a classic inside the discography of legendary and influential Spanish Industrial cult band Esplendor Geometrico. 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", "Transmision"). 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. Considered by many fans as a masterpiece of the group and a industrial classic of the eighties.
