Download only versions from approx £4.20 approx $7, Vinyl and CD options also available. I really hope this makes the goal funding, it was a classic period of his work and I would love to hear the bonus album material from that time. See quote below.

'About this project

Microgravity is the debut album by Biosphere, released in 1991.

CD1/LP1:
Microgravity, Baby Satellite, Tranquilizer, The Fairy Tale, Cloudwalker II, Chromosphere, Cygnus-A, Baby Interphase, Biosphere II. Total time: 48 min.

The vinyl album will be released in a gatefold sleeve like the Substrata and N-Plants LPs.'

It doesnt say explicitly, but the way I read it they all include bonus album tracks, I will ask for clarification and get back to you.

Just out of interest: Why does this need crowdfunding, if it's being sold anyway? And where does the money go, when it's being sold? And what about Biosphere themselves, why don't they just release it?

I think the crowdfunding is purely to fund the production run of the physical products and remastering costs, what's left would go to Biosphere himself as its his music. The tracks exist already and could in theory just be sold directly through his bandcamp site (https://biosphere.bandcamp.com/) as they are now. I think remastering and physical product launch makes for more of an event, a bit more publicity and brings out the collector in people.

Biosphere himself has confirmed that the bonus tracks are included in the download only option which costs approx £4.20/$6.5, so a good deal.

The Kickstarter is just over 3/4 of the way to its target with 5 days to go.

It has now reached its target, so if you are interested in the remaster and bonus album material you are guaranteed in getting it.

D*mned that I missed this

The double vinyl could be had for as little as $25

That's gonna be worth at least $50-100 on the second hand market
