“Moreover, as one young collector and disc jockey explained to me, records have served as a ‘vinyl museum’ for the preservation and maintenance of Caleño popular culture and identity”

“The most recent technological development has, in any case, continued what was begun there: the possibility of inscribing music without it ever having sounded has simultaneously reified it in an even more inhuman manner and also brought it mysteriously closer to the character of writing and language.”

John,

This may seem like a bit of a stretch, but there is an 80-min mp3 of an amazing lecture about recording. It's about a lot of other things, too, but the main tidbit of interest: there was a complete embargo on Jazz records into the Soviet Union during the 50s and 60s...but Russian doctors would sneak music back into the country. How? By pressing the vinyl records into x-ray films. When you got back to Moscow, you could cut the record out and play it, amazingly. Thus an entire genre of music in Russia known as "Music on Bones."

hi john,
Perlon is one of the most forward thinking electronic music record labels in the world. And, though their music is very robotic/futuristic, they refuse to put anything out on cd or mp3; everything is put out on vinyl. They are the cause for indie electronic music labels investing on vinyl, even though they know it's a loss of money. Perlon have given vinyl an image of respect, power.
here's a website that describes their output..
