[DS93 003] Scanner - Conversations With The Dead
Scanner - British artist Robin Rimbaud traverses the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, creating absorbing, multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways. From his early controversial work using found mobile phone conversations, through to his focus on trawling the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol of the place where hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge, his restless explorations of the experimental terrain have won him international admiration from amongst others, Bjork, Aphex Twin and Stockhausen.
Scanner is committed to working with cutting edge practitioners and has collaborated with artists from every imaginable genre: musicians Bryan Ferry, Radiohead and Laurie Anderson, The Royal Ballet and Merce Cunningham and Random Dance companies, fashion designers Hussein Chalayan and Shelley Fox, composers Michael Nyman and Luc Ferrari, and artists Steve McQueen, Mike Kelley, Derek Jarman, Carsten Nicolai and Douglas Gordon. Robin Rimbaud is probably one of the hardest working artist in electronic music, he also happens to be one of the most talented and diverse artists we’ve had the pleasure of working with.
Bah, vinyl only.

It's just that one of my fave labels Dial started up a whole new label that was strictly vinyl-only (Laid).
I really don't get the point.
I understand wanting to have beautiful artwork, but why rob those who are interested in the music from having it?

You just have to understand the process and the reasoning, sometimes you just can't have everything your own way – this process and method is final, one undertaken with a lot of love and care to produce an object of art than is final – something we can not do with a file.

(Apologies for sullying your FB post, btw, should have kept it here, but it is something I do feel strongly about - like I'm being discriminated against cos I don't have a pair of 1210s).

I don't mind Kirsty, I'm kinda glad you feel so strongly about it but the format and number is final, maybe it's time to buy a deck :)

Why tho Kirsty, lots of stuff you like are vinyl only, lots of old stuff worth digging for is vinyl only – why miss out simple because it's on not pay as you go format.

If I'm honest it also strikes me as kinda ridiculous to trumpet a music release as vinyl-only. I don't believe that 99% of people can hear the difference between a high quality digital version and something on vinyl. When it comes to artwork etc, I can understand wanting to make it a beautiful whole, but if the music's important then I don't see how having that available separately detracts from the beauty of the artwork\music combo.
However, it's the artists decision, of course, I have absolutely no problem with that (even if I can't understand it :).
