About cd recording who mimic the sound of a vinyl

Hello

Stuart Hawkes and others like Alexandra Stréliski want to mimic the sound of a vinyl with the hiss and pop and surface noises of the vinyl records on their cd recordings.

I've discovered that wen I did buy two cd made by Alexandra Stréliski, see is a good composer and very good pianist, but the sound was bad and noisy with a low resolutions, I have a good sound system, for now I use my Crimson amp, and I use a Adcom cd player and Dynaudio speakers, so I was very disappointed with here cd, so I wroted to the recording studio who did the recording, to ask them if there was a problem with the recording, they told me that Alexandra Stréliski did just rent the studio and she bring here hown technician and that she choose to mimic the sound of a vinyl with the hiss and pop and surface noises in the recording.

The sound of a good vinyl are not so bad, wen I listen my vinyl there is no noise or low resolutions, thoses artists did the wrong choice by adding hiss and pop and surface noises to mimic the sound of a vinyl to their recording for a cd.

Is there many artists who mimic the sound of a bad vinyl in their recording for a cd ?

Any guys who did buy or listen cd done by artists who want to mimic the sound of a bad
vinyl ?

Thank

Bye

Those of us old enough, we used to play our records over and over and they got worn, I know I bought replacement copies of a number of my albums. I might suggest they were not going for a "bad" CD, but were going for that familiar worn sound we often endured.

Back then they even sold noise reduction units to compensate. Remember the Phase Linear Autocorrelator, or the Burwen noise reduction units? Clearly in response to the existence of noisy records on everyone's' shelves.
 
I don't know those artists in the OP.

In the 'trip-hop' or 'acid jazz' genre there's often accentuated groove noise for that grungy effect or left over from the original jazz sample. But it's contrasted with other tracks in the mix, so the overall effect is at least discernible as done on purpose by the producer, for an effect.
 
I've sometimes wondered if you played a hires digital file with vinyl noise added if a diehard vinyl fan would think that they're listening to a record. But adding one distortion over another for an album, bad idea ( perhaps a lead in groove at the beginning or end I'd except for effect ).
