Comment:
Juan Antonio Nieto is an adept sonic alchemist from Spain having been
active since the beginning of the 80s by starting as the drummer in a
combo called Alphaville. Later on, by doing music under the pseudonym
Pangea and his own name the sound would get more abstract, more
industrial, more austere, more profound, more ominous. Mercury is
thoroughly imbued with metallic echoes, light noises, invisible
ghosts of those innumerable and anonymous persons and masses who have
lost their lives by feeding a horrendous moloch called capitalism. It
is being against humanity, it is being against nature by changing the
planet into a lunatic asylum. However, a huge concentration of human
beings into very large cities to have happened some centuries ago and still is
the catalyst for it. Given that, indeed, real life can be seen more ghastly
and anxious than a shitty horror movie. Regarded that we deserve it. Yet
the positive side of that is related to inspire such sort of music.
Indeed, the listener feels the aforementioned painful anxiety and
depression oozing out of it. A part of the discography of Antena.art.br.
