Why do IDM labels continue such a high output of vinyl only releases?
Arn't CDs still cheaper to make these days? Plus there are less variables
with how the end product will sound.
Don't get me wrong, I order as much vinyl as I can. I spin records and buy
into the whole DJs use vinyl thing. I think in the past year for ever CD
I've added to my collection, I've bought 5 vinyl releases. The only real
problem with vinyl is when you move, it's a hassle. But,. i would think
that there's a larger demand for CDs overall. I'm sure almost everyone on
this list has a CD player. Maybe somewhere around half of us have a
turntable or two (or three).
So why in the IDM scene, where the emphasis from the consumer side isn't
so much on turntable manipulations or DJ needs, are more than half of the
new weekly releases still pressed on vinyl??
