First, we’d like to thank everyone who’s donated so far. It really means a lot to us. So far all we’ve really said is that for donations of $10 or more, you’ll get the new album for free when it comes out. But a bunch of you decided to donate more anyway, and that’s awesome.

Well, we finally put together a list of more stuff that you can get for those higher donation levels.

Donation Levels

Copper Level – $10.00
You get the new album in mp3 format as soon as it is released ¹.
Your name goes in the credits as a contributor to the album.

Bronze Level- $25.00
You get everything from the Copper level, plus:
You get access to the live stream and recordings from the studio ².

Silver Level – $50.00
You get everything from the Bronze and Copper levels, plus:
You get a signed and numbered CD version mailed to you as soon as it’s released.

Gold Level – $100.00
You get everything from the Copper, Bronze and Silver Levels, plus:
A limited edition T-shirt (probably themed around the new album) that we won’t sell or make available anywhere else ³
A limited edition, signed and numbered poster ⁴

Platinum Level- $500.00
You get everything from the Copper, Bronze and Silver and Gold levels, plus:
You get an edited video of the studio sessions that only Platinum donors will get. ⁵
We call you personally from the studio or, if you prefer send you an email/letter thanking you for your involvement ⁶

Plutonium Level- $5000.00
You get everything from the Copper, Bronze and Silver, Gold and Platinum levels, plus:
You will be listed as an “executive producer” on the album ⁷
You will have bragging rights that you were a major part in making this album happen.
You will be awesome.

And don’t worry. Even if you have already donated money, you’re still eligible for the awesome bonus stuff. We’re keeping close track of who donated what and will be contacting everyone with more details.

Notes:
(1) – The album will be emailed to you as a free download from our online store.
(2) – To stream studio sessions we are using Ustream.tv, a free live streaming service. The quality of the streams may vary, depending on our connection speed, your connection speed, the availability of the Ustream service and possibly the alignment of the planets, in relation to the studio. We will be streaming throughout the recording process but not for the whole time we’re in the studio. There may be times when we want some privacy. We will give as much notice as possible for upcoming studio sessions.
(3, 4) – Because both the shirt and poster designs will be probably based on the new album artwork, it won’t be designed until closer to the end of this process. We typically don’t create the album art until after the recording is complete. In other words, we still have no idea what this stuff will look like, but we’ll make it as awesome as possible. The shirt will be a custom made shirt, and not a CafePress shirt like the ones we’ve been selling recently.
(5) – This video will be completed sometime after the album is recorded. You may receive some of the other items before this one as it will take time to produce.
(6) – We will set up a time with you to make this call. Not everyone in the band is comfortable making these calls, so we can;t guarantee who you’ll be talking to. If you’re not comfortable with the call either, we can send you a personal email or letter instead.
(7) – Your credit will be listed on both the website and the CD version of the album. This title does not give you any “points.” You won’t be getting any royalty checks. It’s just that: a title. But it’s a pretty awesome title if you’re a Sinch fan.
