I have dabbled here and there in a few kickstarter projects. Some of them have been very successful and others sort of missed the mark. One of my most recent investments was in a project call Moments Lost by Analog Sweden and it was actually a music album. This is actually the first project I backed (on indiegogo) that was actually what those sites were originally created for, namely artistic endeavors.
The album is a concept album to recreate music that feels like the Blade Runner soundtrack. For those who don't know, Blade Runner is my favorite movie of all time and the soundtrack is right up there as one of my favorite albums of all time. I had to buy the vinyl edition of it then. I think I had to get the vinyl edition to really appreciate all of the artwork that was made to go with each of the pieces. I do get that in the digital version, but the impact isn't nearly as profound.
The digital version of the soundtrack came out about a week ago for backers and it sounds wonderful. It really captures the spirit and feeling of the original soundtrack so I would definitely say that this project was a success. If anyone out there is a fan of Blade Runner, I would highly recommend you consider picking this up. You can get it over at the Analog Sweden website.
The only trick now is that I need to eventually purchase a record player and some speakers to listen to all of it.
