poll my 3" mini-CD collection

highlights here are the Marchetti, Muslimgauze, Stereolab, and The Ex discs, as well as Steve Roden's "Ecstasy"

love the Roden Eames sleeves (npi)

No V/VM Test records releases, no credibility

Crikey where would i hear these?
Also: needs pix.

"Mue" is really good - i struggle to remember which metamkine musique concrete thing is which tho.
The JIm O is unsurprisingly grand and just amazing that he put that together back in 1993 ( would've been 24 i think?

other fun 3"s:
an octis one
voks did two of em
the bernard fort one on metamkine is the nuuts
gert jan prins on mego
eiko yamada playing big recorders on berlston

and the one that came with a sagan 7"

so dinky

Voted Marchetti, love that whole series of Metamkine "Cinéma Pour L'Oreille" discs. The Christian Zanési and Walter Ruttmann releases are the highlights of the 20 or so I picked up but they're all great.

I have a Japanese import copy of the Boredoms' Chocolate Synthesizer that included the Super Roots 2 3". Apparently: Not sold in stores. Only available via lottery to listeners who sent a postcard included with the Chocolate Synthesizer first Japanese edition CD. Which wasn't me so no idea why my copy includes it. These little things are so neat you can put them anywhere!

Have a number of these 3"s laying around, but they're so small that they they tend to get lost as I haven't had the discipline to dedicate a small box for them. Voted for Drugsherpa, maybe my favourite Muslimgauze release. The O'Rourke one in poll is great as well, the whole Metamkine 3" set would be super nice to own, I only have a few. Expo 70 (Justin Wright) has released a couple of tasty three inchers as well.

Organum vs. Marchetti vs. Menche

Seconded on that Metamkine series, Karkowski, Radigue and Wehowksy my personal faves but all very good!

Always loved this format but don't have too many - a couple of the Lenka Lente NWW with various authors book/3" series, a couple of homemade Suishou no Fune things, a strange one by long-forgotten Swedish group Niellerade Fallibilisthortar packed in an algae-soaked sponge, a nice one by Matt Shoemaker that I should really play again, it's been awhile.

oh I also have this one that I missed b/c it is a *triple* set, feel free to write in

I might actually vote for the Black Dice? need to relisten.

Ms. Telecom's one and only release (so far) was a 3" CD.

!!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voted Climax GT because I also have this and they were nice people

they still are! Wall Of Sound continues to be a good record store

I ended up voting Muslimgauze but the Steve Roden is great as well

I just stumbled across my copy of the Black Dice "Lost Valley" 3" a thing I forgot ever existed and I have no memory of purchasing

it's good! right before Beaches & Canyons iirc, same sprawling glorious mess sound

I am little worried about playing it my NAD player is notoriously fussy about playing anything that isn't a bog-standard compact disc

"What is this a CD-R?"
"no, it's a regular CD"
"Not going chance it *ERROR TO READ*"

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lol ILM

congrats to the Steve Roden voter

that Stereolab single really is good as well
