3" CDs enjoyed a very brief popularity in the late 80s, but we've only seen a handful since, maybe because of the rise of the slot-loading drive. The Swap Meat apparently brought the 3-inchers out of hiding, we got 'em from no less than three swappers. Lildiscs sent five such discs, their entire catalog, lovingly packaged in hand-made sleeves featuring photo corners, ribbons, and ID tags. The music is what you'd call "Experimental," mostly live recordings of unusually-arranged-and-recorded orchestra instruments droning away beautifully. The DCD fans out there will love 'em, as would anyone who finds Einstuerzende Neubauten calming. (What!? I do!). Good stuff.
