Esplendor Geometrico are pioneers and masters of rhythmic industrial music since their formation in Madrid in 1980, enjoying international cult.

The songs have been chosen from albums like Polyglophone (CD-only release in 1997), EN-CO-D-ESPLENDOR (published in Japan only on CD in 1998), and exclusive live tracks that do not have studio versions: "Al Asalto", "Nuevo Frente", "Elektrozavod", or "Ciudad Electrica". Also included are three tracks from the Syncrotron EP (1998). Gatefold sleeve; Edition of 700.

"When I think of the word industrial... I think machines, gears, factories with tall smoke stacks. Esplendor Geometrico means exactly that to me. Hard minimal rhythmic machine music that grinds like a huge device that is cutting metal girders for large buildings. Though most would quote bands like Throbbing Gristle, Neubauten and Coil as being the truest form of industrial, the music of Esplendor by far best describes the word industrial when applied to music." --Adam-X, 2004'
