Members gruvjack Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 This was taken from the Harmony Central Main Page: http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2006/I-dance.html There will be a remix contest as well. The winner stands a chance to get his/her work pressed on vinyl. That should be a rare treat because vinyl is supposed to be phased out within 2 years. BTW, the link in that article does not work. Use this one instead: http://www.i-dance.com/ V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 6ftabovsealevel Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 "a voluntary co-funded research and development program to seek a green alternative, possibly a polycarbonate based compound had been proposed in the 1999 summary. However no members of the industry wide syndicate had been able to substantiate a sufficiently high market demand for a replacement for the petroleum by-product, which is the primary base for vinyl record albums." What a f#cking bummer that is. If true anyway... I see lots of reasons to be skeptical, but wouldn't be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
