Kind of Bloop
ETA Q4 2024
This is a distribution title courtesy of Mana Wave Media.
Kind of Bloop is a chiptune tribute to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, a track-by-track 8-bit reinterpretation of the bestselling jazz album of all time.
Launched as a Kickstarter project in April 2009, only two weeks after Kickstarter itself opened its doors, the album's production was funded by 419 backers around the world.
Kind of Bloop was released on August 17, 2009, on the 50th anniversary of Kind of Blue.
The album is perhaps best known for the out-of-court settlement involving its cover artwork, which led to a huge public outcry, press attention, and its ongoing citation in scholarly journals.
To celebrate Kind of Blue's 65th birthday, and the 15 year anniversary of Kind of Bloop's release, Kind of Bloop is now on vinyl for the first time! Pressed on deep blue vinyl with liner notes by executive producer of the album, Andy Baio.
The music can be listened to on the album's website.
