While over 6 million vinyl records were sold in the US in 2013, there are depressingly only 2 companies left wolrdwide who supply the lacquers used to cut the master dics necessary to press every single release. This short but informative mini-documentary covers the art form of cutting tracks onto vinyl, and then how the process has developed over time. Rashad Becker of Dubplates and Mastering, Andreas Lubich of Calyx Mastering and Noel Summerville of 3345 Mastering are all interviewed, men whose client list includes: Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Theo Parrish, Maxmilion Dunbar, Nicolas Jaar, and Laurel Halo. While only being 6 minutes long, it scratches the surface of an analogue form that has seen a revival of late. And let's hope that that continues - as people continue to enjoy the physicality of actually holding the music, rather than the comparative lack of authenticity which comes via the MP3 form.
