proyecto mirage was founded in 1990 by alicia h. willen and francisco
planellas. they were initially influenced by the classic electro-pop of
the early nineties (a sound which is still present in their side
project bubble gum) but the duo was also attracted to industrial-music
projects like s.p.k., whitehouse and - of course - esplendor
geométrico. their first release saw the light of day after nine years,
and their creative output since then has evolved into more complexity.
the hard-floor oriented aggressiveness was enriched with electronic
ingredients of all kinds - ranging from electro and electronic body
music to techno, drum'n'bass, or even sounds similar to those of
experimental 'bridging artists' like aphex twin and pan sonic. artists
who share p.m.'s taste for alarming atmospheres, broken melodies and
distorted rhythms.
'turn it on' is the conclusion of more then ten years of progression.
lashing high-speed dance floor blasts ('cannibal party'), distorted
eighties nostalgia (6 6 5, 9), straight breakbeat excursions ('welcome
to life'), pounding four-to-the-floor industrial anthems ('salvation',
a collaboration with italian experimental/folk mastermind spiritual
front), disturbing experimental-core ('darker bex') - this album is a
perfect amalgamation of all facets of the electronic assault culture -
all of which is welded together to form a powerful statement that
encompasses severity as well as humorous wickedness - nobody expects
the spanish inquisition!
this is what they are, this is where the project is today - take it or
leave it.
always keep in mind: proyecto mirage is not just an illusion but a
concrete reality!

the new release from proyecto mirage is fan-tas-tic! even more than before this spanish duo consisting of alicia h. willen and fransisco planellas manages to deliver a very good album with extremely explosive techno-industrial, this time mostly with influences from various genres such as hardcore, 80's electro and of course drum 'n bass. the result is highly danceable and ultimately exciting stuff. proyecto mirage has one single mission with turn it on and this is the dancefloor. the beats are thumping right from the opening track 'turn it on' and no pace is held back. the motto is to dance your ass off to high adrenaline tracks like 'cannibal party'. this is continued with 'cermol' and the sultry 'i just wanna sex'. in the most accessible song of the album, '6 6 5.9' a strong 80's analogue electro sound is hidden underneath the heavy industrial sounds and 'welcome to life' shows a breakbeat spectacle like nothing before. 'salvation' is not only a great rhythmic industrial songs, but is also made in collaboration with simone from spiritual front. 'darker bex' is a good example of experimental drum 'n noise core. with regards to eclectic electronic violence proyecto mirage are on of the finest examples and perhaps only comparable to unique grandmasters such as aphex twin, winterkaelte or the rising stars of ambassador 21. turn it on is a very accomplished and powerful statement. absolutely great!
