i loved the article. i do think the comment about ableton was a little uninformed but my god, you gotta admire this guy's passion. and tbh, all these mp3's etc do feel like air to me. i was actually doing my 6 monthly clean up of my studio recently and whereas I have a small 'shit' pile for records that I try to sell (but never happens) and a 'good' pile that i immediately file in one of my record rooms, when i went through the cd's it was like 80% in the bin cause they're either burned from hard drive or shite. the only cd's i keep are really albums and even those could be put on hard drive if i had the time.

it's all a bit sad living your life off a hard drive if you ask me. people always said dance music was throw away and now it REALLY IS!!! in fact, all music is!!!

i really want vinyl to stay but alas, I'm not sure it will. what I do think is we need a completely new format. something that takes the good things about mp3's and packages it into a saleable product. it will happen. the music industry will make it, they just need to wait till the hype around free music stops....

until then, i will be regularly using both vinyl and mp3 together to make my sets as good and upfront as they can be ;)
