the news page confirms it will be out on April 22nd.

Fuck. Vinyl only.

And, Radarmaker, Dreamcast fucking rules.

If they want to put it out om vinyl only, fuck it, let them. The SYR series is about more than just music, methinks.

Given that it's a 22-minute improvised drone, I don't think potential sales figures are that high a priority anyway...

I like you, radarmaker. I like your style.

Actually I think it's kind of a lack of respect... First for a part of their fans that will not be able to hear it without downloading it, but also because
so many want to be heard by more people and now what, that's just like with this vinyl only release they want it to be heard by less people... I don't know if I explained clearly

y'know, they say "vinyl only," but every other release that's come out on SYR has been made available digitally on eMusic (and probably iTunes? I don't know). Seems to me there's a CHANCE it will be up on eMusic. If that happens then we'll have nice clean sounding versions to play in our cars/mp3 players.

but still my main reason for wanting it a CD release is that I like the idea of seeing SYR7 on the shelf next to SYR1-6.

Hear, Hear! Ditto for The Silver Sessions, which is basically a SYR release once-removed.

About the SYR6 on vinyl. I think it wouldn't fit in that format. I mean, okay it's divided in 3 parts on the CD but it's actually ONE tune. It's meant to be listened all the way through without interruption, isn't it? So I mean, how the fuck could you divide it in 2/3/4 parts for a LP/2xLP ?

I'd make each of the 3 tracks a seperate side. So two 12"s. The 4th side could be an etching.

Word. Always thought it should be a translucent silver/grey 12" with a glitterly finish :)

I don't know... you see, you'd still have pauses when you have to change side, on CD you don't have that problem. I think vinyl doesn't fit for albums that are better listened all the way through, like Bad Moon Rising, Loveless or recently Drum's Not Dead by Liars for instance...

Well if they didn't think it was ok to split the performance into 3 parts, then the CD would have come out as 1 track.

I get what you're saying, but personally I couldn't imagine ever listening to Loveless on CD (don't think I have tbh, or BMR for that matter...) - that is one album that is all about the bottom end and depth of sound, and no digital version will ever compare to sound you can get from a half-decent analogue set-up.

If you check carefully, the tracklisting of the CD doesn't say part 1 etc, it says "Koncertas Stan Brakhage Prisiminimui 65'31". Because the tune is split into three tracks doesn't mean it isn't meant to be listened as one...

True, but when SYR records uploaded it to eMusic, they titled the tracks "Heady Jam 1," "Heady Jam 2," and "Heady Jam 3." Normally, I wouldn't take what the label titled the tracks as meaning much, but considering SYR is SY then it seems to me that they consider them to be 3 separate "jams."

just bye a vinyl player, i'm sure you'll discover new kind of music;
There's so much good sounds available only on wax, i don't even know how a music fanatic can live without a vinyl player.
I'm sure, it will be nicer to have your syr-7 close to your syr-1 to syr-6 on wax than on cd.
each firts syr are on coloured wax, man, it is much much more beautiful on wax
fuck cd's, get wax

I'm sorry, but I don't want to buy a turntable just for SYR7, you see... for the moment, that's the only record I want that is only available on vinyl, so I don't see the need to buy one.

I'm getting sick of these arguments..... many of us on here already OWN RECORD PLAYERS. We are not AGAINST vinyl. We like vinyl. But we'd ALSO like a CD. To go along with the vinyl. The vinyl looks good, sounds great at home. The CD can be played in a car/easily ripped to mp3 player for commutes.

cd's, mp3 are just fucking digital code
vinyl is concrete, existing, you can almost touch it
that's music
