MiniDisc Edition 1 : 1998 - black and white Edition 2 : 2001 - black and gold Compact Disc Edition 3 : 2006 This compact disc is the reissue of the highly acclaimed (Prix Ars Electronica Winner) MiniDisc-only release from 1998, about which they said: "This is the first ever MiniDisc only release." (Alan Phillips, Sony Software) This Gescom Production, assembled by Sean Booth and Rob Brown [Autechre] and Russell Haswell, has conquered the technological restrictions inherent in the MiniDisc format. Battling against the ATRAC compression system, they have succeeded in producing a masterful perambulation of sonic experimentation. 45 tracks have been sliced into 88 portions for your ease of dissemble-age. Thus the listener can loop and shuffle at will. Resulting carnage. Culling together years of source material, "MiniDisc" is a collection of multi-styled mood music, ranging from full on hip-hop beats to shoe-gazing ambience to bangin'. Track listing: 1 - cut begin 8 - amendment 84 9 - helix shatterproof 10 - a newer beginning 12 - polarized beam splitter 17 - inter 18 - r m i corporate id 1 19 - pricks 23 - devil 24 - is we 26 - dan dan dan 30 - le shark 37 - 1d shapethrower 38 - shoegazer 39 - vermin 42 - hemiplegia 1 43 - mcdcc 44 - gortex 45 - alf sprey 46 - interchangeable world 49 - cranusberg 52 - raindance 53 - horse 54 - new contact lense 55 - of our time 56 - crepe 60 - wab wat 61 - mc 62 - peel 63 - i g e 64 - knutsford services 65 - fully 67 - squashed to pureness 71 - yo! dmx crew 72 - go on 73 - stroyer 2 74 - 76 - shep 77 - langue 78 - poke 82 - hemiplegia 2 83 - territory of usage 85 - tomo 87 - r m i corporate id 2 88 - PT/AE |

well the mp3s i have are ridiculously bad |

This doesn't exactly look legit. And what would be the logic in releasing music specifically produced for minidisc on CD? Rubbish. |
||||||||
|

that does indeed look shady |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
"This doesn't exactly look legit." lol touch records NOT SELLING legits editions of their own back catalogue???!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and this is after I just built an MD player into my hifi stack. tsk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For something to be legit I would think the artist and everyone involved should be in agreement of a rerelease. Especially with something like this, sold on the basis it was a minidisc exclusive. Surely it now loses its title as the worlds first minidisc only release. |

from what I've heard, the production of non-recordable minidiscs have been discontinued, so any reissues of the minidisc would have to be on cd. it loses a bit of the appeal, not having the zero skip time featured on the minidiscs and that you can loop individual bits seamlessly. I think it's legit, seeing as the minidisc was issued by touch in the first place, and it's the touch webshop. oh well I got the first issue anyway, so I'm in no hurry getting this |
||||||||
|

|
|
i guess at least one of the artist is extremely involved in that reissue 'cause its on OR (a Touch sublabel) & OR is r.haswell label & he did the artwork too (see the other OR MD compilation feat. gescom, hecker etc..) etc |

I've got the original md edition too. I was expecting stuff like "go sumo" and that, but this is quite boring crap instead. Just random soundfiles. Something for eBay? :) |

Some good ambient pieces on this. Listening to it on shuffle as intended is... interesting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about a vinyl or cassette version? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you joking? Vinyl is possible because they could put random skip points in the so the needles skitters. Depending on the quality of your deck, needle and weight of the arm you'd get a different selection every time. There is a release out like that but I can't remember what it's called. I have no idea how to search that shit out either. |

|
|
you mean like putting ramps on vinyl records so that the needle skips 5 inches off of the album onto another point on the press? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that release with random skipping is skate by janek schaefer, available on the staalplaat.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I was joking. But now you say it, that would be pretty cool actually... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
incredible this is true... I hadnt heard about this till today... bought it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want it! |
||||||||
|
|

I love gescom. This release is really good to me. I would love to know how they got some of these sounds. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the shuffle with no gaps is easy to get if you load the cd into the computer and then play the flacs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i bought it and i'm enjoying just now thumb up |
||||||||
|

If I remember well, the best tune there is track 34. But I don't like this release. : ( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
34? interesting... listening it now very experimental release imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer the hypnotic repetitive sound of tracks 19/20 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like Minidisc, creates a special surreal atmosphere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i'm in a darkroom with my laptop while hi-fi playing it... really a great atmosphere |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My favourite is the dan dan dan 4 tracks. Nice calm before the storm |
