Could be that's why it came out under the Gescom moniker rather than the
Autechre name. :-)

Actually, prerecorded and recordable minidiscs are made the same way. It
sounds like the Gescom boys have physically placed the tracks in a
random-type order on the disc (rather than recording them on the disc
straight through in a contiguous fashion, i.e. 3 follows 2 follows 1,
etc.). You can get the same sound/motion of the playback head if you use
random play or move tracks around.
