Glad to see this on here...and that it's only 12 creds. Play as intended - SHUFFLE.

this on here is having a laff. 88 tracks, of which very few are available to listen to, even though they give a better idea of the whole thing than most previews. buy the download, buy the cd, buy the minidisc even, but leave this be

Now that's a lot of "songs"

Thanks to shuffle mode, it's still possible to enjoy this release as it was originally intended. Altogether I'd say it's an interesting release conceptually but no major piece of sound engineering magic. The contrast between sound clips is interesting on shuffle but a lot more time could have been put into this album considering the brains behind it. Is it worth an entire month's subscription (or possibly more) to download 80+ snippets? Hmmmmm.

They Say All Music Guide

A change from the beat-orientation of most Gescom material, the world’s first MD-only release is a 45-track, hour-long collection of assorted ambient noise and other detritus, most of which sounds as though it came straight from Autechre’s samplers with no editing to speak of. Designed to be played on a random setting (MD technology allows skips throughout a disc with no lag time), the album works quite well considering its avowed purpose. Since Gescom and Autechre have always phrased their electronics experimentation with plenty of beats though, it’s difficult to take Mini Disc as anything more than a cast-off. – John Bush
