After nearly 3 years on the road promoting the 2002 release, Woman, across the United States, Canada and Australia - gilli moon, submerged herself in Los Angeles for the latter half of 2004 and early 2005, and recorded her fourth album, entitled extraOrdinary Life.  

 An adventurous journey of autobiographical songs and stories, and intimate music conversations about gilli moon’s inner truths, emotions and passions, anecdotes about falling in love, and out of it, about living in Hollywood, and about freedom, humour, simplicity and a life long journey of discovery.   

 extraOrdinary Life celebrates 13 brand new self-penned songs, a spoken word track and an Italian song. An ENHANCED CD, it features a 10 min “making of” video, and a 20 photo slide show embracing her album, photography which has come to visual life by Hollywood’s celebrity photographer Jim Steinfeldt (Tina Turner, Madonna, Miles Davis, Willie Nelson).  

 extraOrdinary Life is a groove oriented album, mixing sensuous basslines, emotional piano and gilli moon’s lilting melodic voice, with songs making attention at AAA and alternative radio.  With an emphasis on organic, raw musical textures, gilli’s trademark “edge” is  present, combining a cool rebelliousness of eclectic guitars, techno loops, live drums and world-beat percussion. It’s only independent, alternative artists like gilli moon that are able to take music production risks, and can truly manage to challenge the current tired old musical norm on today’s radio by creating an album that pushes the envelope. extraOrdinary life is audacious and fresh, a definitive departure from her prior 3 albums "Woman" (02), "temperamental angel" (00) and “Girl in the Moon” (98).  

Recorded in 3 different locations including Los Angeles, Sydney, and New Orleans, the new ENHANCED CD sees gilli moon, artist and producer, collaborating with her favorite collection of alchemists and fellow mavericks, including programmer and engineer Matt Thorne (The Eels, Trapt, Kate Ceberano, Plastilina Mosh); engineer Evan Beigel (Badi Assad), 2 bass players Jeff Dean & Ken Moore; guitarists Gordie Germaine & Donovan Raitt, Aussie drummer Tim Davies, Jennifer J (Eric Idle) on backing vocals & a string of percussionists, horn players and mavericks from around the world. 

extraOrdinary Life offers standout tracks: the up-tempo "Undone" (with matching music video now playing), the evocative and story compelling " Hollywood", the sensuous "The Kiss" (co-produced with Evan Beigel), "Circus of Life" (already used as theme song for Australia's hit indie musical in Wollombi NSW), and the bittersweet love song "Spaceship". gilli moon's productions have always taken much-needed production risks, and push the envelope sonically, yet still mainstream accessible to the hearts and ears of generations.  All songs from the album are available for download as mp3s for your ipods, ringtones for your cell or purchase the CD to embrace the beautiful artwork, 'making of' video, slide show, and good ol' fashion music stereo sound that really doesn't compare in an mp3!
