Going back full circle


Developing Practice


When I went to Fopp, I spoke to one of the staff about vinyl music as I noticed there is a big selection of them now in store.

"Vinyl is more popular than it ever has been before back in the old days."

I'm not sure it's been at a record high but it definitely has picked up momentum and more and more people are buying and collecting them again. It is trendy again.


Other the ages, music has gotten smaller and smaller. The Vinyl's were massive, and gradually under the test of time, smaller forms have music has taken its place. There's been an emphasis on: 

portable, accessible, on the go, fast paced lifestyles, less and less physical.

Have we gone so far from the physicality of music that we have no gone full circle?
 Are people appreciating having ownership of a big item that they can feel and touch?
