vinyl is fine for rock and jazz and whatever else, but electronic music started life in the digital world, and that's where it should stay. i never understood why DJs release instrumental stuff on vinyl, when CDs sound so much better.
It could be that more compression was added to the master before it was converted to digital for the CD pressing, but I have noticed that even homemade audio cassette recordings from vinyl retain that particular "fluid" quality that vinyl is famous for.
