marsmobil - (why don’t you) take the other side?

13.5.2010 von mk.

Well, come in and listen to THE OTHER SIDE! ROBERTO DI GIOIA the musical mastermind behind MARSMOBIL unfolds with (Why Don’t You Take) The Other Side the amazing new musical world that MARSMOBIL has progressed into since his last album Minx. With more catchy songs than ever and a strong link to the 60’s roots of pop, rock and psychedelica MARSMOBIL have re-focused their activities and created a pop album of classic dimensions based on Roberto’s outstanding skills as songwriter, arranger and multi-instrumentalist. Almost every single instrument on the album, ranging from the Antonelli children’s organ (he started to play as a five year old kiddo!) to Mellotron, drums, bass, piano, organs, acc. and elec. guitars, sitar, percussion, chimes, marimba, cello and even a blues harp was played by ROBERTO DI GIOIA himself, who, ever since his childhood, has earned himself a reputation as musical “Wunderkind”. Gifted with talent he was employed to play right after he left school at the age of nineteen with big names like ART FARMER, WOODY SHAW, JOHNNY GRIFFIN, JAMES MOODY, MEL LEWIS and BUSTER WILLIAMS. Invitations to play in the States followed soon after and with less than twenty years he was already a known figure in the Jazz scene. From there his journey led him over the years around the world on tour with various musicians, as well as through musical worlds ranging from Jazz to Indie Rock - he worked with THE NOTWIST on their outstanding Neon Golden album - to electronic - works with CONSOLE, PETER KRUDER (of KRUDER & DORFMEISTER fame) and just recently for the new DJ HELL album - to pop - with German pop music superstars like UDO LINDENBERG and just lately MAX HERRE. He was even invited to join CHARLIE WATTS from the ROLLING STONES on the recording sessions of the Music Of The Rolling Stones tribute album! In the same vain as his journeys through musical worlds whilst working with others, Roberto has developed his own project MARSMOBIL. Step by step MARSMOBIL has evolved from the more acid jazz inspired first album Strange World on ACT, through the critically acclaimed Minx on Compost with its first steps into the world of pop, to the current full-fledged pop album soon to be released. So let’s take a listen…
