I picked up the new New Order album today; on first listen, it's a lot more
guitar-based and rockish than their previous ones. Though it's still too early
to say whether I'll listen to it much or whether it'll take a place next to
the last few Electronic albums and other things soon abandoned.
It came with a videotape labelled "New Order The Videos", and with no track
listing or other information, which I can't look at, not having a
working television. (Why can't everyone use DVDs or CD-ROMs of QuickTime
files or somesuch?)
Incidentally, I had problems ripping this CD as well (some tracks had errors, and needed to be ripped up to 6 times before succeeding), and it is manufactured
by the same pressing plant as the
two EMI discs I had problems with. So either:
- the new CD-ROM drive in my PC at work is a bit marginal, and so are discs
pressed by Digital Audio Technologies Australia, or:
- AOL Time Warner and EMI are both experimenting with similar CD copy protection methods
