The Null Device

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
