Vinyl on Demand is a label for noise- electronic- industrial- and avantgarde music
signandsight.com: "Maier collects tapes and cassettes of obscure music from the 1970s and 1980s, particularly German music, unreleased musical sketches from the likes of Blixa Bargeld or Gabi Delgado. For Maier "this is material whose influence on today's experimental music cannot be overestimated. This is where everything comes from, even techno, this is the real source of contemporary electronic music. Frank Maier researches pop culture that has not been archived elsewhere. Basically he is dealing with a terra incognita, material that's been forgotten or repressed, the history of its own history. 'In a time when pop music is mainly quoting itself, ' he says, 'the new is to be found in the discovery of the old.' That's why he's been archiving and digitalising his albums and documents. He's archived 100,000 albums on his website, where you can find information on Maier's experience as an extreme collector and on the value of rare albums." In addition, he's founded his own label: Vinyl on Demand."
