I've come to the conclusion that a lot of SY fans seem to be obsessed with listening them on vinyl. How come? I've never bothered with vinyls but I'm very interested in them now.
I've just bought Evol of ebay on vinyl and can't wait to test it out.

I suppose for a real fan its nice to have to have a big sonic 12" to hang on the wall. Some vinyl comes with lyric sheets the CD copies did not, like Experimental Jet Set. Also, there's that whole vinyl vs. digital argument about which is the best medium for recorded music. We have some vinyl buffs here.

I have a small collection of about 20+ vinyl records. I don't obsess over collecting them but if I see a sonic release on vinyl I usually think of buying it.

Vinyl Exchange (near me) has the original Sister vinyl with the deleted picture on it, I was so tempted but it's expensive.
Does anyone know which is the best medium for recorded music?

one is no better than the other, they have completely different qualities. but the older SY releases to me sound better on vinyl. Evol, Sister etc

The best medium for music is reel to reel. Vinyl is good as well. Analog means LOUD sound! And the best medium for recording music is, of course, tape. But again, it depends on what kind of music it is. If noise or anything like Dylan then it's analog, if electronic stuff... then, well, sometimes it's mixed down to half-track anyway. It's all about loudness vs. ...er...digital.

must respectfully disagree... i got my receiver, speakers, and turntable for under $200 total and they kick some ass. SYR 1 sounds beautiful. the sound of the bass drum alone makes it worth having the vinyl version. plus, hey, red wax!

I bet this is the dude that says his favourite song from any band is some obscure b-side from a 8" record, out of a press of like, 36.

all i can say is that mechanical consumption occurs when you play a vinyl (and so does with the tape) which is why lps tend to sound like shit after a pair of months if you're not overcautious when you play them. as for the loud thing, i really have to disagree. it's not a matter of digital vs. analog.

cds are the best thing if you ask me.
digital is cheap = cheap sounds good to me.

consumption happens to all media, tapes get stretched with use, the laser on cd players produces heat and damages the surface in the long run. also, if you don't store cds in their boxes/sleeves, they can scratch pretty easily.

mp3s are cheaper but they are also shittier.

i like everything, every format has advantages and disadvantages and you have to take care of them.
