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.

[3] Shortly after the album's release, Soda embarked on an 81-show tour around Latin America and Spain, called Gira Animal.

This partnership would eventually culminate in the release of the Rex Mix EP (1991), as well as a Cerati-Melero collaboration, Colores Santos, in 1992, both of which draw heavy sonic influence from electronic music, the Madchester scene in the United Kingdom, and neo-psychedelia.

"[5] 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.

[8][5] Two of the three songs composed exclusively by Cerati, "En remolinos" and "Primavera 0", had allegedly already been written by the time the group returned to Buenos Aires.

[14] 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.

[15] 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,[16] and for the first time, enlisted the help of a local Hindu music band for instrumentation, including tabla, tambura, and sitar.

The band wanted Dynamo to be eclectic in style, and tried to accentuate it by being as daring as possible with the genres they implemented, structuring the songs so that they contrasted with each other.

[5] According to Cerati, the sudden departure in style of Dynamo from the more accessible hard rock of Canción Animal came as a result of internal strains within the band stemming from the album's massive success.

[21] Likely due to the album's low profile, television exposure of the shows was limited, and few audio and video recordings exist of the tour.

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.
