The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring. If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier! -- === Ji-woo Martínez === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University School of CS "The hatch is open.
