maybe 30% of the better music comes out on vinyl only.
you don't see many cds from labels like skam, musik aus 
strom, mask, v/vm, markant, axodya, schematic, isophlux,
chocolate industries, carpet bomb, erotic city comm, etc...
sometimes if you want the music you have to buy vinyl.
the reason many of these items are vinyl-only is because
of financial considerations. you can press way more records 
than cds for the same price.

another reason for the love of vinyl is that you have speed
control. you can play record at 33, 45 and many speeds 
inbetween. often a song will sound better at a different
speed. you don't usually have that option with cd.
