Los Iniciados – Druidas Quimicos

LOS INICIADOS was a side project by Servando Carballar Heymann (aka Componente
Norte, Biovac N) and Marta Cervera Bravo (aka ArcoIris; both also in El Aviador Dro Y Sus
Obreros Especializados), which they formed in 1981. They combined performance art and
and the line-up was constantly evolving while the member's identities were never revealed.
In 1999, Lollipop released „Druidas Químicos “ which features on CD1 their to that date
current material: „Druidas Químicos - premera & segunda parte“, a mix of experimental
dark electronic pop (eg. „Nautilus“ and „Conjuro de Niebla“) and electronic world music
(„La Casa Antigua II“ and „Rey Salomón“). CD2 presents their early material in digitally
remastered form: „El Cantor de Jazz“ (7“EP, DRO-004, 1982), „La Marca de Anubis/La
Penumbra“ (LP, DRO-012, 1982), as well as a video clip for „La Marca de Anubis“. Some of
those tracks could have easily been Aviador Dro tracks, and actually all four tracks (incl. the
wonderful „Peter Pan“) that were re-released on the limited 7“ on Minimal Wave (MW 002)
fall into that category and are included here (for those who missed out), but in general LOS
INICIADOS is a bit less easy to consume, it’s darker and more experimental and mythical.
