“I still do mostly listen to CDs. I think that every format really is a different way of listening. If you take a different sort of psychological stance to it - like, I think the transition from vinyl to CD definitely marked a difference in the way people treated music. The vinyl commands a certain kind of reverence because it's a big object and quite fragile so you handle it rather carefully, and it's expensive so you pay attention to how it's looked after.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayKindStillsDifferentBigsCertainDifferencesPayAttentionObjectsListeningHandleTreatedCommandPsychologicalPay AttentionDifferent WaysExpensiveTransitionFragileReverenceCdsFormatStanceVinyl Author:Brian Eno
“If you go to Japan, they're still buying vinyl, and they want the education. They know who's playing on what tracks from the '60s and the '70s - who the guitar player is, who the drummer is, who the producer was, what studio it was recorded in. That's how I grew up listening to music. We bought albums. We read the liner notes. It was important to know the whole history behind it.” IfsKnowsWantStillsImportantWholeBehindsPlayerListeningGrewGrew UpNotesGuitarTrackAlbumsStudiosProducersBuyingJapanListening To MusicDrummerGuitar PlayerVinyl Author:Lenny Kravitz

“When I received the invitation to "check out" Fairport I knew absolutely nothing about them, all I knew was that they were beginning to establish themselves as an underground favorite, by playing regularly at the UFO club in Covent Garden. But the crowd I was running with at the time were listening to a completely different genre of music. So I had nothing to go on, there was nothing on vinyl, Fairport's recording days were still ahead of them.” StillsDifferentRunningListeningGoes OnGardenCrowdsClubsChecksGenreInvitationsUfoAbsolutely NothingVinylDifferent GenresGenres Of MusicCovent GardenDifferent Genres Of Music Author:Iain Matthews

“Being the recent accessibility of rare vinyl and cassette music via blogs, as well as the digital backlash which is driving more people to crave the tangible - most of these minimal wave releases are hand-numbered vinyl editions, which adds another level to the listening experience. They can listen to an LP and it's there for them to look at, examine its cover art, and hold whilst buying and downloading music in digital form remains such an ephemeral experience.” PeopleArtListeningWaveDrivingVinyl Author:Veronica Vasicka
