Similarly, Gescom´s release "MD" takes advantage of the data compression of
minidisks. Because of the data compression and thus the relatively large
buffer minidisk players can be randomised or programed so there will be
audio without gaps inbetween tracks. Quite usefull, I think, to be able to
use such advantages of a medium. It would´ve been nice if such releases
would be more common and usable as a creative plaything, much like locked
grooves on records.
