OTHER MUSIC / object vs. mp3
« on: January 25, 2010, 04:01:58 pm »
in the listening section there was a talk about some release by autechre which is available only as download and i really couldn't remember anymore if i already have that release or not (even no clue what is sounds like or that the last track is almost an hour long). if this would have been released in another format (cd, vinyl, usb stick, whatever...) i'm sure i would have remembered (maybe not every detail, but for sure more clear)...
it's just that i miss the packaging and visual factor and feel of a release for me to really remember it and leave a mark in my life. for instance every other autechre cover is somehow stored somewhere in my brain. the ones i like more are maybe a bit more clearer and the others maybe a bit blurred but i can somehow connect the music and the title with the cover. with mp3's there's absolutely nothing to hold onto. just a blank space and no idea if i have the release or not... also when scrolling through my mp3 folders it all looks the same... it could also be graphic documents or pictures or something completely unrelatd to music.
but when i stand in front of my shelf with the cd's i know exactly what i'm looking at. if i stand in front of the shelf with books it's the same or the shelf with toys of our son or... or... or...
anybody else already have this experience? or am i just to old for the future?
