Vinyl Records and Analog Culture in the Digital Age: Pressing
Matters examines the resurgence of vinyl record technologies in the
twenty-first century and their place in the history of analog sound
and the recording industry. It seeks to answer the questions: why
has this supposedly outmoded format made a comeback in a digital
culture into which it might appear to be unwelcome? Why, in an era
of disembodied pleasures afforded to us in this age of cloud
computing would listeners seek out this remnant of the late
nineteenth century and bring it seemingly back from the grave? Why
do many listeners believe vinyl, with its obvious drawbacks, to be
a superior format for conveying music to the relatively noiseless
CD or digital file? This book looks at the ways in which music
technologies are both inflected by and inflect human interactions,
creating discourses, practices, disciplines, and communities.
