- Discogs says the following "Each track refers to a ring or a moon of Saturn. The duration of each track and thus the width on the vinyl corresponds to actual distances between these celestial bodies". Is this true, where does this information come from?
I'm just listening again after a good few years, glad I bought this all those years ago. 
Ron Murphy (NSC): When Jeff Mills came with Rings of Saturn, I offered to just cut a few locked grooves around the track - like the rings of Saturn. [...] I marked the point on the record where I started to cut, then cut exactly one revolution. When I'd finished, I put the loop on first, and it worked perfectly. The very first time. I was totally pumped and just watched as the record kept spinning in a circle playing the same loop."
Edited 10 years agoThis is the record that fostered the invention of locked grooves. It's the record that served as a test object for the first locked grooves ever cut by Ron Murphy.- the 4 sides are 'banded' with locked grooves in places, and its etched in the gaps. Its not a playback double album, its more of a tool. It is however, a thing of beauty. Rings of Saturn on the cover and the vinyl looks the same. Possibly the best looking bit of vinyl I own
