The message may actually be getting through to the public:- The Daily Mail a
few days ago ran an article about this very topic, how excessive processing
was destroying music in favour of a loud, processed pap. They also made the
point that it's creeping into classical music, not just chart stuff. The
article was written in the Mail's usual "isn't it awful" style, but at least
one mass-circulation paper though it worth-while to bring this to the
public's attention.

I was interested enough to glance at the dailymail.co.uk site but couldn't
find it. Just by coincidence, I came across this yesterday; perhaps a backlash
against heavily processed sound has (perversely;-?) driven a vinyl resurgence?

"David Hayes of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the
University of Toronto says the growing popularity of vinyl might be a form of
resistance against the music industry's corporate taste-makers."

"In yet another turnaround, teens overwhelmingly insisted the sound quality of
LPs was superior to that of modern formats. They characterized LPs and the LP
artists of the past as more authentic than the barrage of youth-oriented music
being aggressively marketed to them today."

The growing popularity of vinyl has been a myth om the US for at least 6
months, now that CD players for DJs that simulate scratching have come down
in price.

NB that the article I linked is nearly 14mths old. Itself sourced, as below...

Interesting hypothesis, but I suspect merely that. Yes, a vector to consider.

The two source links comments may make interesting reading, especially the
second, from digg.com, and one applies even to your DJ CD scratching decks.
( a comment that they are annoying when they skip - maybe not so different!)
(I have a friend who has one, along with mixing amp monitors & turntables too)

For those too lazy to cut&paste from my earlier lazy link, given for the site,
which I'd just stumbled across and browsed, in the hope that some may enjoy;
( i.e. for such gems as Zen and the Art of Record Cleaning Made Difficult;=})
( http://www.musicangle.com/feat.php?id=54 ) and other features from there)

these were the source references given:

http://www.physorg.com/news64807495.html
http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Teens_...uperior_to_CDs

The context of this tangential sub-thread; was revulsion to dynamic
compression ... I'm noting a rediscovery of even limited vinyl in response.

Merely. Notwithstanding any drop in price for DJ CD decks. No argument.

And even now, here is a US site going online selling vinyl & DVD-A ... why?

http://www.warnerreprise.com/artist_.../bsm-email.htm

Money is part of it of, course, if not almost all ... meeting another market.

Yes, it's a myth ...

Personally, I'm not interested in their touted offerings, and I'm not even
advocating vinyl - and I have suberb shop selections of it where I live anyway
- I include it as one of my sources though, with affection despite its faults!

Just a conversational note or three ... ;=})
