Dr. Giggles mentioned that Dj Swamp made a lock groove that had some
configuration of merging grooves on either side that made it an
"Unskippable".  I guess that you could knock the needle out but it would
catch the concentric/merging grooves and come back in.

Anyone checked this out?  Making the mother template for pressing must be
a little hairy (hairy little mother? (puns intended).  Heck how long would
you suppose the RRR 500 groove peice took?

Anyone know the best US houses to have masters made for lock groove
mothers?  I've noticed that Interdimensional Transmissions' locked grooves
are virtually pop free.  About 1/4 of the vinyl tracks I've found that end
in locked grooves have a little pop or fuzziness right where the grooves
merge ;-(

I used to have the RRR-100 single, but a wacky performance artist friend
"borrowed" it.  The 500 groove one might be visually indexed by
groups of 10 with slight spaces between.  250 grooves identically spaced
is, uh, cruel.
