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 song, 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!
