Hi! I'm a Kickstarter advisor and helped build the site in ye olden days. These days, I'm working at Expert Labs on crowdsourcing tools for government. I also created Upcoming.org and blog at Waxy.org.
i still listen to this!
JUST GOT IT! And it is even better than I'd hoped for. I'm so proud to have been able to be part of this project—a real honor. Great work, to all involved, many thanks.

I would like to download the album of Shnabubula. How can I do that? I will pay 5$

I wasn't sure I'd like it - but I really do. Thanks for the opportunity to back this project & listen to the results.
We did it! Woo!
Awesome project Andy, looking forward to the final product.
Cant wait. I'll definitely pledge if you decide to do a vinyl release.
This whole website seems to be setting things in an backwards direction. Before there was some detachment on the making of any form of art. Now the artists have to prostitute themselves by giving away things in order to get pledges. To stop this, there should be a rule that the only thing that can be given away are copies of the "work" being produced.
11 days to go. Until what?
Just made my pledge, and cannot wait for the finished product!
Thanks to the other international users that already sorted with circumnavigating amazon >_>
amazing project! <3 8bit!
This reminds me of Hippocamp Ruins Pet Sounds (http://www.autistici.com/petsounds.htm).
I thought I was pledging for vinyl hahah. Still want an awesome project.
Count me in for the record, too. There isn't enough chiptune on vinyl!
I'll have to do vinyl as a separate Kickstarter project later, since it requires pre-paying for a minimum 500 run. I'm not sure there'd be enough interest to pull it off, but it's worth a shot!
I'd up my pledge for vinyl, definitely.
It's cool; I'm a big fan of Virt's, and Andy's local, so I get to support two cool people for one pledge.
Ditto Dakota -- I would kill for vinyl. Seems much more apropos to the spirit of the project, as well -- the collision of analog and digital.
How much would I have to contribute to get a vinyl press of the album?

Looking forward to seeing the end result...
This is a project worth supporting if I've ever seen one. Sure to be amazing.
boy o boy this is gonna rawk. :) thanks to all for their contributions! rough/sketch chip transcription coming soon! :) --ast0r
Worked fine from a UK Amazon account without workaround; backed.
I can't wait to hear what results from this! Oh yeah… backed!
Backed.
In case anyone's wondering, I'm keeping this project going until August 1 to allow everyone a chance to buy the album. After the August 1 deadline, the album/CD will no longer be for sale.
@Charles: I was able to use my existing Amazon account. I was then able to use my usual Visa card.
To save other non-US people the hassle: A working State/ZIP combination is PA 18651 (randomly grabbed from my address book).
Amazon Payments has a glitch with their non-US Mechanical Turk account holders. These users are being asked for a US address, when one isn't really needed. We've notified Amazon, and they know about the problem. This issue does not affect another other users.
@Lasar: Glad you got it to work! And no, I'll ask for shipping addresses later through Kickstarter.
Never mind. I had to lie to get into the Payments account. Afterwards it seemed to work. Will you be extracting the shipping addresses from that account eventually?
Looking forward to whatever will happen here.
Amazon Payments won't let me select a different country and tries to stick me into the US. And that's after I sign in with my German Amazon account. Anything I can do?
Heh, I figured out a workaround.
Paying with Amazon Payments should definitely work from Canada. It takes Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and Diners Club. (You're only limited to the U.S. with bank transfers or when receiving money.)
Chris, I'm from Canada and it worked for me.
This is amazing. I want to contribute $40 (USD) but Amazon Payment doesn't work from Canada. Is there anything else I can do?
Great idea. Love both "Kind of Blue" and computer sounds.
@Bobby Lang: Yeah, that's part of the cover. (Thanks to SnackAdmiral for his lovely work.) I just need to work on the pixel typography for the titles.
Wow, such a fantastic idea.
Love this idea, and especially the pixel artwork for what I assume will be the cover. Beautiful stuff.
backed. great idea!
great idea!
I want this to happen.
