Mana Cinematica- Epic Secret Of Mana Album, campaign now LIVE

[Sam Dillard]

Howdy everyone! Just wanted to announce that my Mana Cinematica album project is now launched on Kickstarter! 

If all goes well it will be a 3-part album with tracks from across all the various games in the Secret Of Mana series.

I've partnered with Mango Mage Records to make some cool vinyl variations, and while the Wax Mage set sold out instantly, there are still some special versions available like the one shown here.

And of course CDs and downloads, plus a stretch goal to get a vinyl release for my Chrono Trigger & Xenogears albums- if you'd like to join for some of these goodies you can check it out here:

And if you know anyone who might be interested please help spread the word! I have historically always sucked at advertising and we can use all the help we can get to let folks know this is happening!

Thanks for listening!

I'll use my words, since no one else will! BACKED, Sam! I have pretty much all your stuff. Metroid Cinematica & Recharged, Chrono Cinematica, actually listened to Xeno Cross this week (I would also back a WHOLE-ASS 10 disc album of that idea BTW). But I've always adored the Mana soundtracks, especially Kikuta's SD2 and 3. I hope you get this off the ground, and I'm so looking forward to it!

Thanks so much! Yeah to be honest I'm actually already planning to do a Xeno Cross follow up, but first, Mana! XD
