The future of music involves the past...

Digital music is not even the future anymore; digital music is now, people use mp3 players, their computers, mobile phones, all sorts to listen ot music, and it is just getting bigger and bigger, and slowly smashing CDs into the ground. But, for some, like me, this is a problem, as much as I love and often use digital music download services, I also want a physical product for some bands that I am esspecially fond of.

The answer? Vinyl. Despite being age old, sales have gone up incrediably sharply in the past year and the labels are starting to realize this, with EMI putting old RadioHead and a perfect circle vinyls back into production.

Perfect solution for me? Vinyl which comes with an easy access mp3 download version of the album. I get my physical product and my usable digital files.

The resurgance of vinyl can only be good for the music world.
