that feeling of nausea watching a vinyl record spin at a rate that is out of sync with the music coming out of it

Totally classic. But I got to wondering today: did composers (consciously or subconsciously) factor in the speed of spinning vinyl to their songs? Was there an influence that was lost as more and more budding musicians cut their teeth on CDs?

This is purely a speculative question. I was listening to a late 70s album on my ipod just now and all of the sudden I could just see the record spinning around in my mind.

yeah pretty much...

33 1/3 BPM

I mean, the most obvious explanation is that I've been conditioned to visualize older music as being played on a record-player because that's how I saw it so many times as a kid, just staring at that thing. But the idea just popped in my head like "WAS there anyone who screwed around with this" or "did it affect people on the whole" or "is the syncronicity/asyncronicity of a record to it's music a sort-of vital but unacknowledged, unnoticed component of why people liked those records or how those records were written in the 1st place"

xp: well, but like multiples of 33 1/3 or 45
