Thanks for all your responses. Stupid I forgot that CDs go from inside to out. The CDs play fine in my CD player too, so I guess I'll have to reinstall EAC to do a proper rip of these >80min CDs. Yes I saw links in the email, but it would've been more work as it was one download per track! Also in my (quite possibly outdated) experience (not with DAT records I should say) the tagging isn't all too good on digital downloads. It's also a good way to check if your physical copy is bit-perfect, although not in this case apparently!

Does anyone else have discs 2 and 3 that have slight 'blistering' near the centre of each disc? They also had unrecoverable errors when ripping in foobar straight out of the plastic.

I'd be very interested to hear what you consider an example of an exceptional hybrid downtempo/progressive/goa album!

My thoughts exactly. She may be 21st century cyberpunk, but she ain't 90s goa...

Thanks for the tip, I'll just pop back and pick up a few! ;-) If you could sort out a remaster/repress that would be fantastic!!! Any chance?

There's always the vinyl if you don't like the digital sound, see http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=226290&ev=rb Or do those constitute 'crazy prices'?! Declaration of financial interest: I'm one of the vinyl sellers.

Hi everyone, Just to warn you all that this discogs seller is the bad seller G.I. Swint, formerly using the discogs istvan account. See the istvan thread for all the negative experiences people have had. Be warned!

Just to warn you all: the Dutchman G.I. Swint is now selling on discogs under the name of MinimalElektro. He also changed his bank account, but luckily not his real name, otherwise I almost would have mistakenly ordered from him again.

Well DJ Zen/Gabriel kept my money so I had to keep the over-graded CDs. Never doing business with him again thats for sure.

Sounds good, would love to hear MFG! Are there tickets left and what's the location?

Well there is a lot of strange hacking and wot not going on at the moment, but not in this case, I can still see the images. Try the direct links: http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac325/phusg/gabriel002.jpg http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac325/phusg/gabriel001.jpg http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac325/phusg/gabriel011.jpg

Can you see them now? It's the first time I've used photobucket.com, but everything seems to be ok.

Please bear in mind that I am not a professional photographer and that CDs especially are very hard to photograph. Even so, the tab indents and warping to the Goa Trax and the damage to the Party Outlaw CD should have been spotted with even a casual inspection. First up the supposedly "Near Mint" Goa Trax that I paid 100 euros for: Then the "Very Good Plus" Party Outlaw CD, which has 2 major pieces of information missing, easy to spot even on this poor quality photo:

Thanks for the information, I was starting to suspect the same myself. I have been trying to exlude this point all along and focus on the overgrading on the sleeves. But just like a politician Gabriel will always ignore any direct questions and just say what he wants to say to protect his reputation and the money he's taken from me. Where's your answer to my question Gabriel? Paypal's protection has turned out to be woefully inadequate, now I've actually had to use it:

I meant this question:
