The way we store music has changed so many times over the decades. Before MP3s, we have CDs and MiniDiscs and DAT tapes and cassettes and eight-track and several types of vinyl.
But in the very, very beginning, we had the wax cylinder. It spun like an axle and its grooves were read by a needle. They were fragile, wore out quickly and didn’t sound very good. So why would anyone want to release an album on wax cylinder today? Well, someone has. A British group called The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing have recorded a song called “Now That’s What I Call Steampunk–Volume One” and will release it on a waxy cylinder. This is the first time anyone has done such a thing in at least a century.
There will be forty copies available–and here’s the catch: they come with instructions for building a device that will actually allow you to play it.
