This group from Madrid, constituted by Alicia H. Willen and Francisco Planellas, is, undoubtedly, one of the most solid proposals in national "hard" electronics' new scene. Proyecto Mirage, absorbing itself in noise, techno and gothic rock, evolves fromits incipient electropop towards some industrial abstracted suppositions which are confirmable to each and every "leading light" of intelligent electronics such as Pan Sonic or, above all, Aphex Twin, who share with them a taste for alarming atmospheres, broken melodies and distortioned rhythms. Despite they started creating music a long time ago, Proyecto Mirage has just started to be known (outside the habitual background of demos-tasters) two years ago, having "mouth-to-mouth" communication a fundamental role on its gradual aspect. The fact that they edit their second album for a German Company, as well as the confirmation of next concerts all through Europe, certificates that a prophet is without honour in his own country and that Proyecto Mirage is not just an illusion but a palpable reality.

"Proyecto Mirage is one of those groups that move around the most alternative tendencies of electronic music. After ten years of musical trajectory, during which they have developed from techno-pop to a hybrid between industrial-noise and techno music, their dreams start to come true. Alicia H. Willen and Francisco Planellas have just seen their first CD published in the German cult company Hands Productions and their international success is on the increase."
