    Artist History
    After the split of a rock/pop band called Flu, Bruno De Angelis, who wrote most of the songs for them, went back to his old love of writing short electronic/experimental pieces. At the same time, he concentrated more on running his recording studio and on helping, advising and producing new interesting bands playing different genres, from "Metal" to "Jazz",from "Industrial" to "Psychobilly"... It was this contact with other musical worlds that inspired him to start a new "band" with players from different backgrounds acting as "special guests" in different songs. In fact the whole idea behind Mana ERG is to attempt to break the barriers that divide people, whether they be musical barriers, language barriers, philosophical barriers or whatever is artificially built between a person and another person, and stops them from seeing what they have in common.

    Press Reviews
    About "Janus" : " A European art movie on audio tape..." -The Organ (London, England)- About "Patchwork": " Categorize it ? Not me! You try! An ambient electronic psychedelic progressive rock dance arty masterpiece..." -Mick Magic(United World Underground)- About "Schmalz": "Noisy guitars and high tension arrangements... And then those ambient passages... All through the album the band surprises the listener with new ideas and catchy refrains, but most of all with the gift to create a wonderful psychedelic beauty." -Fight Amnesia (Darmstadt, Germany)-
