 Indeed it does : sounds like a CD version of scratched vinyl, the 
 sound of a skipping disc - which wears pretty thin after a while.  I 
 don't geddit at all.  What am I missing here?  Is there some gnostic 
 secret I'm not in on?  I was greatly disappointed with Systemisch.

this was my exact first reaction to systemisch as well. and i still like 94
diskont better (i have yet to pick their new one up- hard time waiting)  but
systemisch slowly
grew on me. the clicks that we distracting and annoying at first (is my cd
player broken?!?) gradually became reference points for the activity in
between, if this makes any sense...perhaps giving it some time to wear down
your conditioned reactions to clicks will do "the trick"- it did for me.
