In an interview with French blog GetTheCurse.com British producer and DJ Andrew Weatherall mouthed off about the loss of sound quality in electronic music due to MP3s taking over from vinyl and CDs.

“Everyone has switched to MP3 but MP3 is not that good.

“It’s actually more old-fashioned than vinyl. But because it’s the next stop in new technology, it’s this thing we all must have, even if it’s actually more of a step back, because it’s a loss in terms of quality.

“Which, in a way, means you don’t need quality anymore.

“Listening to an MP3 is actually like watching TV in 1958. It’s this new technology, all fresh and exciting, but it’s actually a step back.”
