draeke Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It is the second time I buy a copy of Spectral - Diffuse and the CD doesn't work, so I have in my hands for random coincidences 2 defective copies and that sounds very strange given the fact the cd has been pressed in year 2000. At first I thought that I had just been unlucky with one copy but just recently I purchased another copy on discogs and it is the same, the cd looks like this: please note that the cd is mint everything you see is below the plastic protective cover. And the other copy I have looks even worst, both were bought "new" and are like this.Opinions? Can you please check your copy and let me know?

technosomy Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 now that is strange, never owned this before, but what i find odd, is the fact its 13 years old, and just hearing about it now? but do recall some talk about it a while back, but just thought was random (was probably you fed about your first copy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeke Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yes it was me about my first copy and this I discovered when I wanted to rip it for backup purpose, some years ago so I suppose these discs have a defect and last only some years. If anyone owning a copy can check i'd be happy as I want an EAC copy of it, in secure mode, because I want some of the tracks on it and I already bought it original 2 times!

lumpi Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Exactly the same happened to my copy, it turned all hazy and didn't work eventually. Luckily I could rip the majority of the tracks to my hd but not all. Seems like there was an issue with the pressing or something liek that. The horror for every collector...

Goa-Head Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Draeke, your matrix/mould are like mine. I bought it used not long ago and can't see anything unusual on mine. Looks like a defective batch exists then. On a side-note, this is one of the most original and refreshing 'Goa-but-not-Goa' albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draeke Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Joseph, can you try to rip it on EAC with secure mode? i'd be damned if i buy a third copy to have just again a defective CD!You are lucky to have a working copy I guess..
