I'm stoked to see the following on the Oteme web site:

October 2015 – OTEME‘s new CD release L’AGGUATO, L’ABBANDONO, IL MUTAMENTO – Maracash Records

Il Giardino Disincantato ended up being one of my favourite records of the last few years, very much looking forward to hearing more.

Great news! Il Giardino Disincantato is simply gorgeous (there is a review of it on my blog). Glad to meet a fellow fan, and looking forward to the new album!

Great news.

Support this great band - yes they made the goal but I think they aimed too low

Mike :

Well, there are actually 7 days left in this campaign, eventhough we already hit our goal. And predictably, pledges have leveled off sharply since then, although there have been a couple new backers. In the mean time, I have not been "pushing it since we hit our goal because, having laid out our plan and expected budget needs and so on, on the Kickstarter page, well...it seemed kind of greedy or opportunistic to go asking for more.
However!...... ;^ > ..... I have been looking at other costs, such as that of flying to certain locations to be able to work with certain producer-engineers on mixing the new CD, not to mention related expenses such as accommodation, food, etc. I was reluctant to shoot for more than $8,000, because....well, frankly, I really had no idea if we'd be able to raise even a fraction of that (again, I have been blown away by this outpouring of support!).
But as it turned out, you wonderful folks pledged the full amount in only about 2 weeks! Hindsight is 20/20, etc., etc., but perhaps we should have set a higher goal! Because, if things go as predicted, It's likely there won't be funds left to cover those other costs.
Therefore, I guess, if some folks are still interested in helping us (and availing themselves of the rewards), it wouldn't be merely be giving us a surplus we don't need. It would actually be guarantying that we can finish the entire process without delay or compromise.
So, if you excellent backers are willing to send out one last appeal via your various channels and connections, we'd be much obliged.
Thank you very much.
