n5MD
Emotional Experiments in Sound
n5MD began as a minidisc label,
the label name meaning - no fives, minidiscs.
When Sony DADC Austria stopped manufacturing
pre recorded minidiscs, and when getting them manufactured
by Sony DADC Japan was too expensive to consider,
n5MD changed over to compact discs,
continuing to release a few 7 inch records.
Much of the back catalog is available for purchase
in MP3 format from the label website.
