Diseño Corbusier

Diseño Corbusier were an experimental industrial/minimal wave group from Spain who were active during the 1980s. Utilizing primitive drum machines and keyboards and employing Burroughs-inspired cut-up vocals, their Dadaist recordings fell somewhere in between Esplendor Geométrico and Cabaret Voltaire at their earliest and strangest. Javier García Marín and Rafael Flores formed the group in Granada in late 1981, and Ani Zinc (also known as Neo Zelanda) joined soon afterwards. Flores left, but Zinc and Marín created the label Auxilio De Cientos, and their work as Diseño Corbusier started to receive notice from the underground music world. After their 'Stadia' cassette was released in 1983, they appeared on numerous compilations along with artists like Muslimgauze and Maurizio Bianchi. They released two vinyl LPs -'Pérfido Encanto' (1985) and 'El Alma de la Estrella' (1986)- before disbanding. In 2012, both LPs were reissued by Vinilisssimo, and 'Stadia' was released on vinyl by Dark Entries in 2016. [SOURCE: ALLMUSIC]
