2003 -- On April 29th the group take part
in the second edition of M-arte Live
festival, this time at Alpheus in Rome. The band second album
OUTSIDE
NOWHERE is recorded between June and September,
once again at L’Elefante Bianco studio. This time the
ispiration comes from science-fiction masterworks such as
Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odissey or
Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, and from the story
of space explorations, especially the tragic death of Russian
cosmonaut Sergej Komarov, crushed to the
ground with the Sojuz 1 after fifteen orbits around the Earth.
During the same sessions, with special guests such as the
saxophonist Alessandro Papotto (Nodo Gordiano,
Periferia del Mondo, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso) and the singer
Leila Bahlouri, is also recorded the suite
Morton for the SPAGHETTI
EPIC project. Promoted by the Finnish progressive
rock magazine Colossus, this is a double
CD concept dedicated to the famous Sergio Leone’s
film Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), where every
band composed and recorded a suite, at least 20 minutes long,
inspired to one of the six main characters of the film, featuring
the sound of the early seventies Italian bands as Le Orme,
Balletto di Bronzo, Metamorfosi or Museo Rosenbach.
