Soda Stereo – Dynamo альбомы туралы

Dynamo (ˈdi. na. mo) is the sixth studio album by Argentinian rock band Soda Stereo. It was first released in Argentina on 26 October 1992 by Sony Music Argentina. Considered the band's "most eclectic, most ignored and most experimental work," as well as "the least popular and the most pretentious," they made heavy use of the sampler and set the sound treatment carefully, while still retaining the pop structure. Daniel Melero co wrote some of the songs and played keyboards, but the strong influence he had over the band was reaching an end. Some fans didn't catch up with the band's intention, while others took it as a landmark of pop experimentation. Shortly after the release of Dynamo, Soda Stereo switched labels, moving from Sony Music to BMG. This fact conspired against the album's diffusion.

Following the release of Soda Stereo's critically acclaimed fifth studio album Canción Animal in 1990, Soda had shot to international recognition, particularly with their rock anthem "De Música Ligera", which received vast airplay across Argentina. Shortly after the album's release, Soda embarked on an 81 show tour around Latin America and Spain, called Gira Animal. In 1991, lead singer, guitarist and frontman Gustavo Cerati began a musical partnership with Daniel Melero of Argentine band Los Encargados, a longtime friend of Cerati's, previous collaborator of Soda Stereo's and lover of electronic music. Cerati found the change in genre especially constructive for composing songs and began honing the art of sampling, buying an Akai MPC On top of Cerati's aforementioned influences coming into songwriting sessions, Soda also grew interested in alternative rock, impressed by the works of British shoegazing and dream pop bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Ultra Vivid Scene, Sonic Youth, Ride, Primal Scream, Spiritualized, and Lush. Immediately following the culmination of the tour in May 1992 by way of six shows in Spain, Soda Stereo began work on a new album, tentatively titled Gol, but renamed Dynamo after Melero made a comment about old bicycles having dynamos. Other songs, such as "Zona de promesas", "Ángel eléctrico", and "Planeador", ended up on subsequent Soda projects. Recording began in August 1992 in Estudios Supersónico in Buenos Aires, near Belgrano. Most of the lyrics were written in studio, to the melodies. Meticulous about the album's sound, Cerati wished to "deform" the album sonically by constructing shoegaze reminiscent walls of sound, while keeping the vocals in the foreground and executing powerful choruses characteristic of Soda's "heroic" trademark sound. In turn, he dominated the atmosphere of the studio vision wise. In keeping with the album's electronic theme, songs such as "Camaleón", "Sweet Sahumerio", "Ameba", "Nuestra Fe", and "Claroscuro" were built around loops, synthesisers, and samplers such as Cerati's MPC60. Cerati, Bosio, and Melero contributed extensively to the album's artistic production. The recording sessions for the album took a notably experimental direction compared to past albums; for inspiration, the crew recorded raga rock track "Sweet Sahumerio" by holding an impromptu yoga class in the studio with Cerati's personal yoga trainer, and for the first time, enlisted the help of a local Hindu music band for instrumentation, including tabla, tambura, and sitar. while at the same time delving into neo psychedelia, baggy, Cerati states that the band, " decided to change [its] direction because we didn't want to keep inflating the monster that we'd created. We were fed up with the band, and I personally had little desire to continue, but after Spain we decided to face the challenge of not losing desire to keep making music." and venue shows began in December 1992 in Buenos Aires. the rest of the tour was cut short after a concert in Mexico City on 21 March 1993, as Cerati moved to Santiago to be with Amenábar and record Amor Amarillo, his first solo venture. In 1993, Soda released Zona de Promesas, their third and final EP. The album contains several outtakes and remixes from Dynamo, including the titular B side and several concert remixes of their past tracks. The cover art and album design for Dynamo was created by Argentine graphic designers Gabriela Malerba and Alejandro Ros, who had been responsible for all of the band's cover art from Rex Mix onward. On the cover, the letters in Soda Stereo's name are stylised with numbers. According to Ros, the distinctive "heart" on the cover is actually a flower stand pinched to resemble a heart. Malerba and Ros made sure to particularly stress the album's theme of love in the art, with Ros stating that, "The idea of this album was love, the universe, conflict, and the pain that love entails." Ros states that the duo also wished to play with the idea of perspective, particularly how the latter can change one's perception and understanding of things and emotions. Ros attributes the duo's implementation of miniature planets to this concept.
