There's a company in Cincinnatti, Ohio called Optical Resurrection that repairs CD's by melting the scratched surface, leaving it unmarred when it cools. This can only fix CD's that have not been scratched all the way through, ie. if you can see light through it, it's trashed. Now, to include some IDM content, has anyone heard the Better Daze remix CD on Ubiquity? Any good? Benway

Dear god. I've seen CD's treated pretty badly, but I've never seen them scratched completely through. What are you people doing to them?! Chris.

Actually, I was just burning a copy of a brian eno CD for my father-in-law (discreet music), and after grabbing & burning the trax perfectly I noticed that the original disc has tons of tiny holes in the encoded metallic layer. Held it up to the window & it looked like the ceiling of a planetarium -- but it still works fine. As for what's been done to it -- absolutely nothing. One of the first CDs I ever purchased, goin on 11 or 12 years now, and I've kept it in immaculate shape scratch-wise (generally no eno at parties). Aren't CDs, especially first generation, supposed to decay after a while? The reflective surface of this disc looks as though it's oxidizing or something as well. hm. sr -- sd Chris Cykana wrote:
