Geometrik Records presents the first-ever double vinyl release of Tarikat, featuring 16 tracks recorded between 1986 and 1989, originally released on the now out-of-print 1997 double CD (Daft Records) and the 1991 cassette. 16 remastered tracks showcasing Esplendor Geométrico's unique 1980s sound, with influences from industrial, noise, tribal, and African music. A key release for fans of E.G., capturing their innovative and influential style that shaped industrial music and techno. This release is reminiscent of other albums like Arispejal Astisaró, Nador, and Sheikh Aljama. Rough, primitive and minimalist, the tracks are constructed on distorted and noise rhythms, sometimes industrial, sometimes with tribal and African influences using synthesizers and analog electronic instruments. Gabriel Riaza, founding member of E.G. until 1991, worked in Melilla (North Africa) during those years, and this influenced the conception of many of Tarikat's tracks. The images used in this release are by Andrés Noarbe, who was responsible for Esplendor Geométrico's graphic design during the eighties and also served as the band's manager. The overall design is by Alonso Urbanos. Recorded by Arturo Lanz and Gabriel Riaza in Madrid and Melilla (North Africa) between 1986 and 1989. Tarikat is available as a limited-edition double LP.
