I've been trying to figure out what has caused this resurgence in 313, and the flood of re-releases of all the classic tracks from the late eighties and early nineties.
Surely the older members of this list, and those of you who have been into the sound from the pre-95 days have noticed by now that the favorites of old have been released back into the wild, to be picked up by a new generation of dj's and music lovers (and perhaps those of us without the dollars to purchase the classics back in the day). Is it the fact that those of us who were spinning and dancing to this stuff as teenagers are now in our prime earning years (late 20's, early to mid 30's)? Perhaps now we can afford to buy all the records we liked as teenagers/college students and the labels can afford to print and sell us $16 copies of the same records that were released in 1990 for $4? Have the artists and label owners picked up on this or is there some other force at work here? Is this cashing in on an previously underappreciated sound or some strange coincidence that all these classics of old are appearing at my musical doorstep? What do you think? - Sasha
