I think the original poster was referring to the cache on the device.
I.E.
mount disc view contents unmount disc erase disc - but don't erase the CD-R drive's cache of the media mount disc view old contents of the media from the CD-R drive's cache
However, note that the disc was fast erased - according to the cdrecord manual page, only the PMA, TOC, and pregap are erased. Therefore, as long as these are cached by the device, user data could theoretically still be read directly from the media.
