I think Sunil is on his period.

Opinions are just that, opinions, no real need to bring on lady blood in your panties though, I think it`s that ranty time of the year again.

Sure vinyl is doing well, OVERALL, thanks to the amount of new rock being pressed on 7`s.

And minimal is doing well (but is it even techno, I think it`s house for people who don`t like to admit they like house).

But
With the amount of distributers and record shops collapsing in the last few years (hey folks, ELP has gone too now by the way), you`d have to be crazy-aid-bonkers to think everything is just rosey dosey posey.

Unless of course, you`ve just started a record label, in which case you probably want to believe that everything is great, otherwise the alternative is far too depressing.

It`s techno, we are all insanely committed to this damn music, so vinyl sales or not, it won`t (or shoudln`t) stop any of us from making it, talking about it, childishly fighting about it on forums, voicing our opinions, making exceedingly loud noise, investing worrying amounts of money on kit etc.

the music is long out of fashion, and yet here we all are, still talking about it, so that must mean something right?

We don`t have to all agree with each others opinions to get along though, nobody likes a nodding dog, there`s nothing wrong with disagreeing with each other. It doesn`t mean we have to be enemies.
