Dear Supporters of The Tubular West,
Your contributions have made a big difference in getting the album finished in the way we wanted,
and almost (but not quite) on schedule! We didn't reach our campaign goal, but your funding kept the
deficit down in the final stages of this exciting project.
The postponement of the CD release date to January 2013 is related to an ongoing but nearly
complete redesign of the customized CD packaging and booklet, as well our decision to go to a
second mastering of the album (under way as I write).
So for those of you whose contribution reward is in audio form--CD or download--there's still a bit
of a wait. If you have bonus tracks coming to you and would like to receive them prior to the release
of The Tubular West, I'll be pleased to send those files along on request.
Those who are entitled to a "musical note" from Sam or a sheet from the score of the album, we
will be sending those out shortly. Please keep in mind--something I overlooked--that they will be sent
from Spain and may take a while to reach you in North America.
For those anticipating t-shirts who have not already been contacted about their shipment, please
inform me as to your preferred size and colour (eg, XL white on black shirt, SM black on white shirt....)
It's fantastic to be on the verge of releasing what I consider to be a remarkable and unique recording.
I think it's quite a good sign that, after the hundreds of times I've heard each track during its evolution
towards completion, I'm enjoying listening to this music more than ever!
Your interest, support, and patience in anticipating The Tubular West are greatly appreciated.
Have a wonderful solstice and holiday season, and we'll do our best to get 2013 off to a great
start for you.
In the words of the maestro: onwards and upwards!
