PRESS QUOTES ON THE ORIGINAL CD RELEASE

“Reynols’ first musical contribution to the world, Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil), was a “dematerialized” compact disc, an empty box. Their logic: by dematerializing the cd, everyone could therefor have access to it—everyone, including “Aristotle, Napoleon, and Jim Morrison.” Not many people purchased Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada, but then again, by the group’s logic, not many needed to in order to hear it. With projects like this, it seems inadequate to simply call Reynols a band that plays music—they seem like a larger and more diverse cultural phenomenon.”
— The Antioch Review. USA. Vol. 63, No.4, 2005

“Shunning the Argentine mainstream, their 1995 debut was a ‘dematerialized CD’ (ie an empty box)“
— The Wire (UK), Issue #197, July 2000

“Hace dos años, Thurston Moore de Sonic Youth, entró a una tienda en Buenos Aires y ante el asombro y admiración del vendedor pidió algún disco de Reynols. Le explicaron que las ediciones de la banda no se consiguen en el país, ni siquiera el primero y único editado en Argentina: Gordura vegetal hidrogenada, el mundialmente conocido disco sin disco.”
(“Two years ago, Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore entered a record store in Buenos Aires and facing an atonished and admiring seller, he asked for a Reynols record. He was told the band’s releases were not available in the country, not even their first and only record released in Argentina: Gordura vegetal hidrogenada, the world famous disc-without-a-disc.”)
— VICE Magazine (Mexico), 23-05-2013

“Ese disco sin disco (o sea: cajita, librito y... nada más), Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada (1995), es a esta altura objeto de fetiche en todo el mundo.”
(“That record whithout-a-record (that means: jewel box, booklet and… nothing else), Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada (1995), is at this point a fetish object worldwide.”)
— Página 12 newspaper (Argentina), 21-02-2002

“NoDisco. El único álbum que Reynols distribuyó en Buenos Aires fue Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada, el ahora mundialmente famoso "disco sin disco”.
(“NoDisc. The only Reynols album distributed in Buenos Aires was Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada, the now wordwide famous “disc-without-a-disc”)
— Clarín newspaper (Argentina), 27-10-2000

“For those who own too many CDs without adequate packaging, Reynols’ “dematerialized CD” offers an antidote: a jewel box and booklet that lacks a CD. It´s pleasant to find out that the people who pushed Cage’s concepts to their most extreme conclusion are home-grown weirdos in stead of academic snobs. In addition to having vanished, Gordura is officially out of print, though I’d like to think that the package simply dematerialized as well, and now everyone in the world owns a copy.”
— Muckracker (USA), #9, Summer 2000

“En quelques années d’existence, ce groupe, fondé à Buenos Aires par des activistes divers de l’inframonde expérimental argentin, semblait avoir tenté tous les outrages : un premier album vendu le boîtier vide, avec pour seule justification «ce CD s’est désintégré il y a quinze secondes» inscrite à l’intérieur de la pochette.”
(“In those years, this group, founded in Buenos Aires by various activists from the Argentinian experimental underworld, seemed to have tried all outrages: a first album sold as empty-box with the sole justification ‘this CD has dematerialized fifteen seconds ago’ written inside the sleeve.”)
— Libération (France), 22-03-2019

“habrá que contar una vez más que su primer disco, Gordura vegetal hidrogenada (1995), era una cajita de CD vacía, con un texto que afirmaba: ‘Este CD se desmaterializó hace 15 segundos’”
(“once again we’d should tell their first record, Gordura vegetal hidrogenada (1995), was and empty CD box with a text that states: ‘This CD has dematerialized 15 seconds ago’”)
— La Nación newspaper (Argentina), 27-05-2019

“su primer álbum, Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada, siguiendo la idea de que los formatos de sonido son cada vez más pequeños (del L.P al Cd, del Cd al MiniDisc, etc) presentó, pues, el más leve de todos: la nada.”
(“following the idea sound formats are getting smaller and smaller (from LP to CD, from CD to MiniDisc, etc.) their first album Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada, presented the slightest format of all: the nothingness.”)
— Revista Arcadia (México), 08-07-2010

“Gordura vegetal hidrogenada, ese álbum desmaterializado en estos tiempos Spotify. Lo que parecía una broma se transformó en una realidad que, como siempre, imita a la ficción.”
(“Gordura vegetal hidrogenada, that dematerialized album in these Spotify times. What seemed to be a joke became a reality, which, as always, imitates fiction.”)
— Tribulaciones (Argentina), June 2019

“El gesto contemporáneo es una constante desde el primer disco, Gordura vegetal hidrogenada, de 1995, que era sólo tapa. El disco no estaba dentro ya que, según los Reynols, se había desintegrado.”
(“The contemporary gesture is a constant since their first album, Gordura vegetal hidrogenada, from 1995, which was only a cover. The disk was not inside as, according to Reynols, it had disintegrated.”)
— Infobae (Argentina), 08-06-2019

“En Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada la música brillaba por su ausencia, pero había unos sorprendentes títulos de canciones, donde ya se notaba la mano maestra de Tomasín.”
(“On Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada music was conspicuous by its absence, but there were some surprising song titles, where Tomasín's masterful hand was already noticeable.”)
— Jotdown magazine (Spain), July 2014

“Концерт 1995 года. Это единственный документ. Мы играли для растений целый вечер, представлена была программа с Dematerialized CD. Всё это было названо Gordura Vegetal Hidrogenada. Также программа вышла в формате видеокассеты.”
— Нож (Russia),15-08-2020
