I get the impression with some genres (particulary psy-trance, but increasingly UK hardcore/freeform and breakbeat) a lot of new releases appear to only exist on CD…

• download culture has reduced the revenue for music producers
• increased license fees, policiing costs, and clampdowns/cancellations have also diminished the revenue from licensed events.

so there is less money around on the dance music scene.. and vinyl is costlier to produce than CD’s

its a shame to us traditionalists but I think market forces are hitting very hard…
