My understanding of Wolf's scheme was that he asked fans to contribute something like £10 to cover 'production costs', and in return, they got a digital copy of the finished product, a thank you on the initial run of the physical copies, first refusal on any limited editions or extra material, and I think (not entirely sure) they get a small return if the album sells well. He raised £100k through it... not bad going. Bloody brilliant album it is, too.

i liked it that on the latest circulus album people could pay to have their photos in the portholes of the spaceship on the album sleeve.
