So, last night, I was sitting at home, listening to Sleep's Dopesmoker on vinyl -- that's right. I remember wondering what the process of cutting a lacquer master entailed, but that might have been after I had passed out. Was it a dream or real? I can't decide. I can't!

It felt so real, so I'll assume I was really wondering that, and huzzah! My prayers are answered by Jason Ward of Chicago Mastering Service who shows us the machines and processes he uses to cut a lacquer master.
