Can you imagine how hard it was to get all those songs perfectly timed
on the CD?

I can only imagine -- speaking of that, how often did (or do) CDs exceed the 74 min capacity limit (as per the standard) in practice?

Global Communication's album, 76:14, is 76 minutes and 14 seconds long. What a coincidence that is!

I wonder if any CD players had problems playing these slightly longer discs?
(80 min CD-Rs came long, but were maybe targeted more towards fitting
more data rather than more music...)

I very rarely had any problems playing 80 minute CD-R discs in the CD players I had. But at the time, I also had CD players that had been
made around that time, so maybe they were made to read thoe discs.
The 80 minute CD's basically had a tighter spiral, which was likely
within the tolerance of what most, but possibly not the oldest, cd
players could handle.
That album was 74:55 on the CD. Longest studio album he ever recorded.It was DDD also which was a bonus.

(I didn't know DDD was so early -- I thought it might had started sometime around the early 90s...)

I think it has been fairly rare to see a music CD that is filled to capacity. And the same issue has happened with cassette tapes and
vinyl records too. There were some songs that were even shortened to
fit onto the vinyl record version. One example is Dire Straits'
"Brothers In Arms" album - I heard that album was recorded digitally (intended to sound its best on a CD), but they also released the album
on vinyl, and they had to shorten their song "Money For Nothing" for
the vinyl release in order for everything to fit.

It was one of the first all digital albums. Another interesting tidbit is that the cassette version had a longer version of that song than the CD, as well as longer versions of a couple of other songs.

ECDs aka Enhanced CDs were also pretty cool too back in the late 1990s. Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing was one of them.
I had that one - put it in a computer and you'd get a menu of multimedia to choose from. I think it was an attempt to stop you from being able to rip the audio, as the computer would recognize the data partition and
(hopefully) ignore the audio part.

Interesting.. I suppose that may be because there wasn't enough room
on the CD? I might want to buy the cassette now.. :P (I have a USB cassette player so I could digitize a cassette if I wanted to)
