(Compost, 2006)

Co-production of Compost and the Kruder & Dorfmeister label G-Stone. Marsmobil's second album has the lascivious power of Air, the family feeling of the 70s band America and some of Talk Talk's fragility. Produced by Peter Kruder (Peace Orchestra, Voom Voom), Christian Prommer (Fauna Flash, Trüby Trio, Voom Voom) and Marsmobil mastermind Roberto Di Gioia. Roberto Di Gioia was born in Milan in 1965. He began playing piano at age 4. His favourite music is the Beatles. In 1975 he began his studies at the musical high school in Eichstaett and after graduating in 1984 moved to Munich. There he began his career as a prize-winning professional musician. He became famous as the brilliant keyboarder in Klaus Doldinger?s "Passport" and has performed on almost every album and permanently toured since 1990. He has also worked with numerous American Jazz stars like Art Farmer, Johnny Griffin, Joe Lovano, James Moody, Tom Harrell, Clark Terry, Gary Peacock, Dave Holland and Woody Shaw, as well as German greats like Albert Mangelsdorff, Uwe Ochsenknecht, Udo Lindenberg, Till Brönner, Klaus Weiss and Helge Schneider. At the end of the 1990s Di Gioia desired a personal extension of his musical creativity: "Marsmobil" was born and manifested itself for the first time in 1999 as vinyl on Payola Records. Inspired by the trashy analog sound aesthetics of the 60s and 70s, Marsmobil merges retro and future, space-pop and Burt Bacharach-like orchestrations to "The most wonderful and organic music of the new musical millennium". (Sueddeutsche Zeitung). It's no surprise that Di Gioia has been involved in some definitive productions in recent years like The Notwist ("Neon Golden") Console ("Reset The Preset") and Till Broenner ("Blue Eyed Soul"). In June 2003 he was asked by saxophonist Tim Ries to be part of a recording session for the album "Music of the Rolling Stones" with Charlie Watts, Bill Frisell and Darryl Jones. Marsmobil's debut album "Strange World" (ACT Records) featured such illustrious guests such as Klaus Doldinger, Till Broenner, Nils Landgren, Johannes Enders, Dan Berglund and Wigald Boning. "Minx" features the vocal talents of singer Martine Rojine. Martine definitely has an aura and projects security and an unbelievable presence on stage which she never uses as a plagiarism or makes her appear as "Just another front girl". She is more like a critical but life-loving neo-mod with unbelievable charisma, charm and life in her voice that carries you away.

Очень творческий и плодовитый лейбл compost за что ему низкий поклон.
