Why nobody develops an analog medium with new technology ?

Did they do an anniversary pressing of the Dragon's Lair disc? The original came out like in 1983.

It wasn't really an anniversary pressing.

It was pressed by some die hard DL fans that actually programmed new, playable material. So that particular pressing is a bit different than any other DL pressing.

I wonder, why not using one of those strange materials NASA, ESA and space agencies have develped and look to license ?

Why not using another format, not a disc, maybe a cilider or another shape ?

I really think if somebodyget really in to could develop something really stunning, maybe or surely big recording companies would not care and even wouldkill the format but who knows maybestarting in audiophilee circles could bea good start.

If there are now cranes and motors the size of a human hair I think many things are possible...

Those crystals Superman used were pretty cool...

Cylinders would be interesting, but they take up too much space. Plus you'd drop them and they'd roll right under a large immovable object!

Dude remember the scene in Superman 3 where Richard Pryor hands over the tainted kryptonite to Superman as a thank you gift? It was like the ultimate white elephant gift.

Don't ask me why that came to mind....

Just thought I'd toss in my 2 cents worth here. The earlier Laser Disks were Analog Video and Audio. I own several that are Analog only audio. With the CX noise reduction, the sound can be excellent. The best I had was a Reference Recordings Test Disc with music on the analog tracks.
