Vinylmania – Das Leben in 33 Umdrehungen pro Minute (2012)

Vinylmania – Das Leben in 33 Umdrehungen pro Minute: Directed by Paolo Campana. With Paolo Campana, Julie D’Adamo, Daniel Binder, Sanju Chiba. My mother used to wake me up with a vinyl record. It’s the first thing I remember about life. Many years have passed but vinyl records have never abandoned me. And you? Have you ever listened to a vinyl record? With its unique sound and crackling that gives you butterflies. Have you ever plunged into the colours of the sleeves artwork? Have you smelled it? Music captures a unique taste, seductive. In “Vinylmania” the director guides us through the grooves of an object that has never lost its soul. He investigates what makes it so legendary in a world dominated by liquid music: Simple nostalgia? Possession? The search for an idenitity? A cry against the fast food music? The digital river that has no heart or soul, just ones and zeros… From Tokyo to New York, London, Paris and Prague we meet a tribe of collectors, Djs, musicians and artists. We explore the stores where passion is transformed into fever and the factories that have resumed stamping millions of copies. Vinyl records are back!

“u0026quot;Vinylmaniau0026quot; certainly didnu0026#39;t leave much of a lasting impression on me (except for the impression of making me almost completely indifferent to the whole matter).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHad u0026quot;Vinylmaniau0026quot; made an honest effort to cover the entire history of vinyl records, going all the way back to the days of 78 rpm. discs, then, yes, it might held my interest for its 77-minute running time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut u0026quot;Vinylmaniau0026#39;su0026quot; producer/writer/director, Paola Campana was only concerned in vinyl records from an era when rock nu0026#39; roll came onto the scene and dominated the market from that day onwards.”
