Anyhow, it was said that cd's are made of aluminum, and that's sort of true - - my understanding is that the inner part of a cd is made of polycarbonate, which is then coated with a layer of aluminum so that it can reflect the laser light that hits it. You can seen through a cd because the aluminum layer is very thin. A cd starts to degrade once air and moisture somehow get in there and start to corrode the aluminum. This can happen if a cheap glue was used to bond the two halves of the protective plastic outer layer together, or if the cd becomes warped (like leaving it in the sun) or from leaving it a humid environment. The older a cd is, the more likely it is to have gone through temperature cycles (going from hot to cold, etc) which could further loosen the glue that bonds the two halves together. I several Orb bootleg cd's that are starting to show the 'rainbow pattern' of corrosion already, which leads me to beleive that not all cd's are created equal, particulary bootlegs. james ~~~~~ on now: Kruder & Dorfmeister: the K&D Sessions # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 12:35:38 -0700 (PDT) From: steve robles Subject: Re: (orb) Orb-spotting - --- orbette wrote: > > > > TheMgnt@aol.com wrote: > > > I didn't get to hear what the voice was speaking > about as I couldn't get my > > girlfriend to understand the command "Shhh!", but > there you go. > > > > Maybe if you would have asked nicely instead of > commanded things would have > worked out. > > 'bette > thanx for providing a stoned morning chuckle! ;) you rock 'bette! despite your rebuffing of my offers of matrimony, i loooove having a female presence on this male-dominated list.

CDs aren't glued. They are pressed out of polycarbonate (the clear plastic), then coated with a reflective layer (usually aluminum, sometimes gold if the label is is the mood to gouge you out of an extra ten to fifteen dollars) that makes it possible for the laser to read the data pressed into the clear plastic, then the reflective layer is coated with a protective lacquer, and then the label is printed on top of that. The CDs mentioned in this thread -- overwhelmingly UK CDs from 1989-1991 or so - -- were pressed by a single Philips Data Optical plant in the UK during that period, using a lacquer formulation that was unfortunately not up to snuff and which encouraged the aluminum reflective layer to deteriorate. There were other discs early in the CD era that deteriorated due to similar problems with the ink formualation. (I had a copy of Mike Oldfield's "Platinum" on which the ink actually ate through the aluminum, making the label text clearly readable from the data side. Looking back I should have saved it as an example of the deterioration process but instead I traded it back for another copy which is still just fine some twelve or thirteen years later.) Ordinary properly-pressed CDs have not, to date, shown any tendency to deteriorate on their own. - -- Lazlo Nibble - lazlo@studio-nibble.com - http://www.studio-nibble.com -- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 09:08:02 -0500 From: "John Goerner" Subject: Fw: (orb) orb - -----Original Message----- From: Mark Sinclair >just joined the list. cool!! >what have i missed?

No, all the stores I go to have those big plastic tray things which they remove at the counter. The security is in the trays, not at all in the shrink wrapped CD - which I can't explain, other than it quenches the American obsession with opening shrink-wrapped stuff! Hey, remember long-boxes? Yeah they were wasteful, but I still miss 'em. I wish I kept the long box for UFOrb intact! Alas, all I have now is the cut-out front. By the way, the store I was referring to lets you bring ANY CD to the counter to listen to, even shrinkwrapped ones. Kinda strange... Another great store has CD players in the store, and the used CDs are left in their jewel cases. you can bring the CDs to the player and listen right there! Pretty cool, but it wouldn't work in a more urban area... Last note - what's up with those music-sample stations? What bugs me is that they don't let you fast forward! Grr... Since this turned into a completely off-topic post (except for that UFOrb longbox reference) I might as well ask - is anyone on the list in the LA area, and did you record the Seal Star Lounge from Star 98.7 in December '98? If so, contact me for a tape trade, I'm starting to get desparate here! Ooh, one more thing, I successfully made a CD with a "negative" track today. Just specify part of the first WAV file you're burning to the CD as "index 00" of track 01. Index 01 is the the start of any CD track, index 00 displays as "negative seconds" or "00:00" on CD players... you can make index 02-99 of a track, but I've only seen a few CD players that actually display it. Index 00 of track 01 will be accessable only by rewinding from the beginning of the CD, since it comes before the beginning of track 01. Pretty cool.

Not only is "Blue Monday" New Order's most famous track, it also launched the 12" as a single format and is also the biggest selling 12" of all time. This may be because it was released in 1983, re-issued in 1988 and released again in 1995 (with the excellent Jam & Spoon and, in particular, the Hardfloor remix)...

And I don't think I've heard much comment on the Orb remix of Meat Beat Manifesto's _Radio Babylon_ on MBM's Original Fire EP...an extremely good track on an extremely good album. Well worth the EP price for over an hour of music...definitely recommended, even if you've never heard MBM before. >> on now: Kruder & Dorfmeister: the K&D Sessions > > I just wanted to say that anyone who's on this list should own >this album. It rocks. Agreed. It's a great double album. It fits into my small (but growing) "must-have" collection. james ~~~~~ on now: Legion of Green Men: Floating in Shallow Water # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 13:21:23 -0400 (EDT) From: Jeffrey Abshire Subject: Re: (orb) Reliable CDRs, Radio Babylon > Does anybody have any recommendations as to what brands of CDRs are > reliable/good quality?

I think I will. It is a completely awesome tune! I personally have never heard anything quite like it and I love the way that it is constantly shifting and changing! It's too bad it had to get cut down from 22 minutes. I'd love to hear the original!

I'm needing something somewhat special, however. I'd like to trade this for a copy of COIL's new mail-order only release, _Musick to Play in the Dark vol. 1_ (on CD). I realize it's not available until May 1, but this release is only being done via pre-order. Mail me with questions or for more info. The FFWD vinyl is in excellent condition, and the sleeve has one minor nick on the open end (less than 1/2" long) but is otherwise in very good condition. I can provide trade references upon request. Act quickly on this, as it needs to be set up asap. .rr # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 00:00:29 +0100 From: Smiley Subject: (orb) RE: SMILEY'S SALE IS NOW ON!!! thanks for the HUGE response to my humungous sales list! bear with me, as i may take a few days to reply, as i'm snowed under with replies... and, if anyone's having trouble getting to the http://come.to/SmileyWeb address, try: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~compton/Smiley/ as that's the long-hand version. many thanks, one and all... l8r. - --- Smiley MASSIVE spares list at: http://come.to/SmileyWeb # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info orb" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email orb@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 20:38:47 -0400 From: "Jason Mansuy" Subject: Re: (orb) Pink Floyd!!!!!! > hi > > > I play disk 2 10x as much as disk one of U.F.
