Well, I stand corrected. That sounds like quite an interesting release. I do
like the interactivity of it. I hope I have not offended any Flaming Lips
fans, forgive my ignorance.
As for the minidisc question, I did not mean to imply that compression made it
sound bad. I just meant that if you didn't have a minidisc player, $175 seems
a rather expensive price to pay just to listen to the Gescom release. It's
prohibitive in that people might be disinclined to purchase the Gescom release
if they had to buy a minidisc player to listen to it.
