“Vinyl has always been the best way to listen to music.”
“There really is no substitute that sounds quite as good. I believe it’s because what you are hearing when you listen to vinyl is the actually recorded waveforms of the music. There is no simulation or loss of quality due to the conversion to ones and zeros.
I remember when I was first getting into vinyl, freshman year of college. I would go to Reckless Records almost every other day in search for my favorite band’s vinyl. I’m pretty sure I sacrificed more money on vinyl then on groceries each week.
I’m not really sure why vinyl records became so cool again in an age of convenience and electronic devices capable of holding double of your personal music collection, but I’m sure glad people are enjoying them again. Out of all the fads and hip things that come and go in and out of style, it’s nice to see something get popular that actually has quality.
Vinyl is the oldest medium for playback of recordings, I believe, and I hope it is still around when CDs and digital platforms fade.
Secret Colours as a collective has always been big advocates for vinyl, so we always try to release our material as such. If you’re a fan of us and vinyl we will definitely have our newest material, Positive Distractions available for you all to enjoy in the most classic sense.”
