No Time no Space

Parlami dell' esistenza di mondi lontanissimi
Di civiltà sepolte di continenti alla deriva
Parlami dell'amore che si fa
in mezzo agli uomini
Di viaggiatori anomali in territori mistici ...
di più
Seguimmo per istinto le scie delle Comete
Come Avanguardie di un altro sistema solare

No Time No Space
Another race of vibrations
The sea of the simulation
Keep your feelings in memories
I love you especially tonight

Controllori di volo pronti per il decollo
Telescopi giganti per seguire le stelle
Navigare navigare nello spazio nello spazio ...
di più

No Time No Space
Another race of vibrations
The sea of the simulation
Keep your feelings in memories
I love you especially tonight

No Time no Space © 1985 Franco Battiato & Saro Cosentino

"No Time no Space" is like a companion piece to "Via Lattea," and was the first single released from the album.

Speak to me of the existence of distant worlds,
of buried civilizations, of floating continents.
Speak to me of the love made
amongst men,
of anomalous travelers in mystical territories . . .
of more.
We followed by instinct the wakes of Comets
as the Advance Guard of another solar system.

No Time No Space
Another race of vibrations
The sea of the simulation
Keep your feelings in memories
I love you especially tonight

Flight controllers ready for takeoff,
huge telescopes for following the stars,
navigating, navigating in space, in space . . .
farther.

No Time No Space
Another race of vibrations
The sea of the simulation
Keep your feelings in memories
I love you especially tonight

Mondi lontanissimi was released in 1985 and was originally conceived as a sort of intergalactic fable. According to Battiato, "The far-distant worlds are the worlds of fantasy, of the planets of our constellation in which perhaps there are other forms of life that we're not able to imagine; also the interior worlds, those levels of awareness that not only can we not imagine but that we waste like the greatest treasure hidden in every individual." Giusto Pio collaborated on the arrangements and on most of the music, and also directed the Milan Symphony Orchestra, whose presence here lends warmth to what is sometimes a certain coldness in Battiato's more synth-heavy work.
