Sorting through some of my CDs, I stumbled upon this. Is it the first ever transparent CD? Come to think of it, how many other transparent CDs are there?
"Archiv 1" was compiled for, and came free with issue 238 (December 2003) of, The Wire Magazine, it's a collection of beautiful minimalist glitch music (reminding me of the wonderful series of Clicks and Cuts albums released on the Mille Plateaux label) compiled by the German label Raster Noton - often sounding like slightly malfunctioning electronics ("what is that clicking noise?") and with high frequencies that are likely to upset your pets.
Reading through the list of artists featured on the CD isn't so much a who's who of electronic music, more a "who?!", with Robert Lippok being arguably the most famous artist on the album.
It comes in a nice transparent bag with a transparent plastic sheet containing the track listing.
