Reply With QuoteThe bit where they say that it isn't the first time that the industry may not have spotted a trend is very true. Look at the major labels' initial resistence to the 12" single in the 70s.

Intellectual onanism, urban legend or pipe dream?
Wired also falls into the trap and comes up with the apology of the vinyls.
Article in wired magazine
That kind of article is perfect recipe to catch the reader's eye and to start corridor discussions.
Get ready for the invasion of the vinyl snatchers.
It's so gratifying for a vinyl owner like me to think that I will have to safeguard my basement from the millions of disciples of the turntable...:icon_lol:

Indie Release [Level 4]
I thought "vinyl came back" in the 90's.
All of the underground electronic music was on small label vinyl (and dub plate one offs) . And intrest also got renewed because of hip hop DJs. I feel like vinyl is actually going WAY down right now beacuse of CDs, MP3s, and the technology that can use them in a vinyl kind of way like, Final Scratch and Serrato. Im a purist about vinyl, but a lot of people would rather get a song for free downloading it then spend years or over a hundred dollars on it. Its true...some records are amazingly expensive now, but it's to a real purist, specific market....Northern Soul being a good example. If you played a CD at a northern night you would be laughed off stage, but at a house or whatevers new night...No one cares. At least in America..
