It's an audio cd, but the music isn't what's special. It's the quality of the sound. It's a quantum leap.

Without going into a deep explanation of how CDs and CD players work, suffice it to say that they really are a marvel of exacting manufacturing tolerances at the micron level, particularly error correction.

This CD is made from solid glass, will last for generations without dregradation and is not subject to surface material degradation and reading error problems that present imperfection of audio CD sound that come with multilayer, plastic CDs.

Standard CDs are made of different layers of material and are subject to warping and surface degradation from exposure to heat and UV. CDs don't last forever, contrary to popular belief. Data readability can start to degrade after 5 years, depending on the quality of the blank CD.

A recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Air on G String" that's closer to live sound than anything that has ever existed - and will remain that way forever.

I would not pay 800 for some bach garbage, give me some beethoven biotch or some michael bolton. A michael bolton CD that sounds great forever is priceless.
