Moby Says That People Are Born To Love Vinyl
Could warmth and emotion be the keys to vinyl’s enduring success?
In a new conversation with Jean-Michel Jarre, Moby weighed in on the vinyl vs digital debate. In it, he compares the warmth of vinyl to the emotional bond between mother and child.
“I would posit that the difference between the most highest bit-rate digital and the analogue wave of vinyl, like, a bit-rate–we always know that there are steps in there,” he said. “That’s why I think, when people talk about the warmth of vinyl, we’re so accustomed–because we’re looking for emotional connection. So there’s just something–at least for me–there’s something that’s more authentic about it.”
The conversation is a round table that also includes Hans Zimmer, Gary Numan, Little Boots and Julia Holter. Listen to it here.
