Music Theory - Moved from Metro

[massplanck]

I think the debate has been covered already, We both have a position on this, at the end of the day the machine matters not.. the results stand for themselves - im sure we agree on this.
.

Yes. But what have been the results? The demise of techno & even more shitly produced music. 100 times more shit music than in the heady days of vinyl. A thowaway\substandard culture where a song gets listened for 10 secs and then its on to the next track...nevermind the comparison of mp3 vs vinyl. Mc Techno\No funk. Man i have been listening to techno for 10 years plus now. The days of a vinyl release being a dj tool are over. Abelton is the new dj tool. So for a vinyl to be suceesfull now It has to be a complete ****ing work of art to make it. And for that I'm very happy. I really really dont want to hear every second loop people make that gets put up on their myspace account, nor do I want to hear a digital release mastered by a random punter with a copy of soundforge & a SOS mastering article which has not had any quality control (ie the way record label owners used to vet music/artists). I'm making this a personal choice. There is a certain person I know (on this forum) who for certain regional economic circumstances has gone without lunch for weeks end just so he could afford to buy ONE vinyl. I want this guy to succeed. And you know what he will.

You can take a stand if you really want to. How about putting your heart and soul into just one ep for 12 months and getting it pressed to wax rather than making 60 in a year and throwing out 10 digital releases?

Look at Omar S (the grandson of detroit techno!). His vinyl albums & LPs all sell out. His stuff cant be bought in any record shop (online or in the highstreet). He sells them all himself through his own little website.
