Could be that's why it came out under the Gescom moniker rather than the Autechre name. :-) > BTW: I noticed the sound of the disc playing- the physical mechanism of > the machine working- and its quite rhythmic in itself, > ch-ch-ch-ch-trrrr. none of my home recorded discs sound like this when > being played (apparently pre- recorded and rerecordables are constructed > differently). player: sony mdsje510 Actually, prerecorded and recordable minidiscs are made the same way. It sounds like the Gescom boys have physically placed the tracks in a random-type order on the disc (rather than recording them on the disc straight through in a contiguous fashion, i.e. 3 follows 2 follows 1, etc.). You can get the same sound/motion of the playback head if you use random play or move tracks around. cya brian -------------------------------------------------------- "The most dementing of all modern sins: the inability to distinguish excellence from success." - David Hare
