Tartar Lamb 2 - 'Kickstarter' donation offers!

Yeah, indeed! Do you know when they are actually going to release all the stuff? I know the funding opportunity ends the 18th but I imagine then they actually have to set all of it up? Or maybe not?

Just donated even though they already made it...

Sounds interesting, I wish I could donate. 

I would have loved to contribute, but the recent unfortunate events I've been through make it impossible for me 

Wow, they're got a lot more over the past few weeks. Looks like they might make it after all

Due to set up costs, pressing plants wont do glass-pressed CD's unless they have a minimum run of 500 (some plants set the minimum at 1000) so they will burn CDr's instead.

I know, but a 500 CD initial run is not exactly exhorbitant when you're getting paid in advance and you have at least some name recognition like Toby does. With the response for Part the Second, I think they could easily pull off 7 or 8 thousand in order to pay to hold on to some extra copies that don't sell right away, they've already pulled in half their goal, but if they don't want to to that it's not my problem, I'm happy with an MP3. However, that would also require giving more money to Kickstarter, so maybe they're planning on a real CD release later and the handmade CDRs are an artifact for the fans. Also, you can get CDs pressed online with only 300 copies, but that might be a ripoff in terms of price per CD.

Will donate for this, Movement 2 on the KD CDr was brilliant. Kayo Dot make beautiful CDr's as well, the live bonus with the Coyote preorder was packaged more nicely than albums I've payed 20 dollars for. Mine wasnt, it came in a blank carbored sleeve with #078 written on it and a red slip over it with the track list, musician names and were an when it was recorded. Not that I was at all bothered about that, its the disc I want, not the packaging.

So did I, but it looks very nice considering it was free. Even bands like Porcupine Tree who have a considerable bigger budget usually just ship CDr's in a clear, unmarked sleeve.

Now, when I get my hands on 20 or 35 dollars...
