I have had handful of CDR's that skip, or are no longer recognized by players. That is very very small minority and almost without exception, CDR's work just fine.
So one could think new CDR I would buy now, would be perfectly listenable till I'm dead and gone? Still, there is the chemical process in CDR that will detoriate it sooner or later. CD that has no manufacturing errors and vinyl LP's are pretty much eternal - in sense what anything in this world is. That is kind of inspiring idea. Opposition to disposable, temporary trash that clutters everything. I rather feel noise album should be almost like ancient sculpture that will be withnessed long after culture itself has vanished or transformed into unrecognizeable form. Does it *really* make sense is kind of unimportant, when it is more about mindset.
In other hand, I feel CDR would be good for a lot of things. When they cost next to nothing, doing promo CDR, advance recordings, give-aways. Gig releases. Why not. You could even sell them for like 3 bucks or something. Even less. When there is no big investments you need to recoup, there is no really reason why CDR should be expensive. I can think plenty reasons why I'd prefer CDR instead of bandcamp link.
