REGIRULAAHHHHH
Yo, as Aeana knows, I lurk here and adore you guys, but I stay quiet, especially regarding my own projects. I also don't speak on behalf of YCG, so I can't give any official info or customer support.
But just wanted to clarify 2 things you've mentioned:
1) The arrangements (there are now almost a dozen in progress, hahaha hooooly shit) will be Bandcamp-only (digital OST, available to everyone) for now. The backer physical album will be the complete original soundtrack by itself, with super nice artwork and packaging, in a 2-disc set. The digital OST, which anyone can get from day 1, will contain the same music PLUS arrangements, since I am not limited by the capacity of discs... But that first physical CD printing is just for backers, and I hope you enjoy it!
2) YES there will indeed be a streaming release party; At 7PM PST on Thursday the 26th (Launch day!) We're going to listen through the whole soundtrack with webcams set up, as we experience the elation / relief / horror of RELEASE DAY at the YCG office. I'm guessing most of the team will be hunched over their computers, frantically trying to keep up with day-one customer support and PR stuff, but I will do my best to make them all drink themselves into a stupor. They've certainly earned it.
