In a predominantly digital world of distribution the idea of vinyl only releases seems fairly alien to some.
All and sundry are rocking an ‘i’ something or other but not everyone is decked out with a set of 1200’s.
Limited vinyl releases have been about since records began (pun unashamedly intended) and as outmoded as they seem to some, they show no real sign of disappearing. Perhaps it’s a defiant final middle finger to the remnants of the Napster generation, or maybe we were so quick to blindly accept change we dismissed tradition.
You know, whichever’s funnier.
Happy to scratch everyone’s itch, Kieran Hebden has provided an opportunity to snag some of his tastiest morsels from the past year and a smidge.
Morsels like, his Fabriclive exclusives ‘Locked/Pyramid’, the stupendous ‘Pinnacles’ from his Daphni co-release, cracking newbie ‘Ocoras’ and 128 Harps, the one I don’t like.
Couple this with two new tracks which are sans release and you’ve got an ace LP.
Or, if like me, you own 80% of these already you’ll feel like he’s dropped a deuce.
You know, whichever’s funnier.
