The Other Side EP is the first single of the long awaited new album by MARSMOBIL
(Why Don’t You Take) The Other Side?

ROBERTO DI GIOIA the musical mastermind behind MARSMOBIL gives us with The Other Side EP first insight into the amazing new musical world of MARSMOBIL’s upcoming album scheduled for the end of March 2010 on Compost Records. 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 childrens 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, 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 vein 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.
But before the official release of the new album, The Other Side EP already unveils MARSMOBIL’s new world perfectly and reflects the music and the concept that has driven the whole project. It’s almost like a smaller version of the album, a bit more introverted, with less radio singles and a bigger share of intimate and personal songs than the full length THE OTHER SIDE.
The Opener of the EP is the fantastic radio single Ordinary Boy (Radio Edit) with its great hook-line and positive vibe. This song takes its inspiration from the least thing you might expect while listening to it: From our negative sides. The not-so-special- sides we all have. The things we dislike in ourselves. This is THE OTHER SIDE of everyone. We are all more or less just Ordinary Boys and Girls so why not accept the unavoidable and turn it into something positive: Yes we are
