All those menacing predictions by music market presumed gurus about the extinction of vinyl hasn&#8217;t come true yet, even if its renaissance could be the last convulsion. Anyway, Cronica&#8217;s heads, Miguel Carvalhais and Pedro Tudela, who introduced this selection in the guise of @c by means of abrasive liquid clots and ganglions on &#8220;Zweiundneunzig&#8221;, decided to print it on cd, the format whose lifetime is going to expire before the vinyl one. The following sound artists explore a very wide stylistical range in a masterly manner, whose sense of subtle decay and a certain feeling of constant digging for a supposed sepulture got tempered with remarkable specimen of electronic refinement: the aural dark-ambient shades by Cindytalk&#8217;s &#8220;Miyamizu&#8221;, the mesmeric and somehow cinematic remixes of &#8220;The End Of Vinyl&#8221;, where both Christoph De Babalon and Goner scans agony by impressive electronic textures and airy pad synths, which could resemble Beefcake&#8217;s or Gridlock&#8217;s epic hooks, the spellbinding buzzing whistles by Mego label owner Peter Rehberg aka Pita on &#8220;This &#038; That Edit&#8221;, the absorbing subtonal thuping and thunderous shocks on &#8220;Biological Agents Of Vinyl Degradation&#8221; by Jorge-Sanchez-Chiong (JSX), the gradual gurgling combustion by Rashad Becker on &#8220;Take Me To Your Lead Out&#8221;, the illusory frugality of &#8220;Opera Povera&#8221; by Lithuanian sound artist Arturas Bumsteinas, the terminally ill dark ambient of &#8220;&#8216;end&#8217;end'&#8221; by Opcion and the final strokes of solemn atonement and the industrial drops on &#8220;Never Ending Vinyl&#8221; by Current 909 and Pure&#8230; a collection of adhesive stuff, whose rotting features seem to understydu for a new body. <em>Vito Camarretta<\/em><\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chaindlk.com\/reviews\/?id=7790\">Chain D.L.K.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourteen years after Vienna-based Mego released &#8220;The End of Vinyl&#8221; by Austrian dynamic producer Peter Votava aka Pure on 3&#8243; cd, someone could think that its sibylline prediction could be better spot-on if it were called &#8220;the.agony.of.vinyl&#8221;, so that Cronica folks decided to fishes it out from the ocean of sonic memories by involving a &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/?p=6654\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No End of Vinyl\u00e2\u20ac\u009d reviewed by Chain D.L.K.&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[370,16,117,257,259,264,260,258,263,261,25,262],"class_list":["post-6654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-370","tag-atc","tag-arturas-bumsteinas","tag-christoph-de-babalon","tag-cindytalk","tag-current-909","tag-goner","tag-jsx-jorge-sanchez-chiong","tag-opcion","tag-pita","tag-pure","tag-rashad-becker","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6654"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6655,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6654\/revisions\/6655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.cronicaelectronica.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
