"This mind-blowing session was organized the day after the Qbico U-nite
VIII which happened @ DobiaLab near Gorizia, Italy last Feb. 11, 2007 (see
qbico video 06). Neokarma started from an idea of David Vanzan's vulcanic
mind and with time, from a trio (with Abate, see qbico beta) evolved into a
7et (prior to this session and to the u-nite appearance they played live
only few times, in January 2007). here they are with the complete line-up
(they all come from the North Eastern part of Italy, close to Venice to have
an idea) with special guests Giorgio Pacorig on fender rhodes and Makoto
Kawabata on electric guitar. i had no doubt about the fact that Acid Mothers
Temple guru'd have fitted like a glove in this cosmic unit... nothing was
planned... after three minutes David switched off the light and they are
gone into deeeeeeep space... the void... the black hole... and i lived into
the future... their music reminds me a bit of Taj Mahal Travelers but of
course with a new millenium feeling... i remember i played them TMT once in
my place and they smiled and nodded their head... but they had never heard
about TMT before... Virginia & Paolo wind instruments floats atop, Andrea
throws some aqueous meteors which he directly intercept from other galaxies,
Giorgio had some electricity, Makoto & Christian add some magical make-up,
Maurizio gives that eastern groove and david hold it all in his hands... for
me Neokarma it's the most revolutionary, powerful and futuristic group that
Italy ever had ! no kiddin' honey bee."
