but buying combinations (and almost all modern albums) on vinyl would be exactly that. Combinations is already as digital as it gets (due to being recorded digitally). It doesn't matter what format it is. You'll never get that quality you can find in analog recordings.

The only reason for buying it on vinyl would be for enlarged artwork (which would be enough for me. the designs of the album are great).


Amen. If you don't want to enter the digital age, don't buy vinyl copies of anything recorded since the 70s.

a lot of modern bands still record analog. The White Stripes are (overly) proud on making sure no computers are used in their recordings. Well, that's really the only one I know of for sure. I would say a few others that seem like they would record analog, but I don't really know if they do or not.

Here's a pretty good article talking about use of analog recordings in modern music:

My post was sarcastic. I'm mocking the 'retro' scene.

i gotta say, I have In The Aeroplane Over The Sea on vinyl and it's soooo amazingly different than CD or MP3 format. I don't know or understand why but it's enough to make me weep with delight.

I have it, too, and I love it! That record sounds exactly as it should on vinyl -- Just so wonderfully amazing!

What about an audio dvd? I only have one, "Suprenature" by Goldfrapp. It's my least favorite of their ablums but it's pretty cool to have the music and Alison's voice swirling around me in surround sound.

Brandi Carlile did her last album on tape too. It's a rarity for sure, and I'd say it's likely that the vast majority of what you can find on vinyl these days was recorded digitally.

perhaps this has already been answered, I took a look around and didn't find anything.

Where can Combinations on Vinyl be purchased?
