"After 30 years in the music industry and with the state of the planet, I believe we need to consider the environmental impact of petroleum-based music formats," Hawtin said in a statement. "I'm still committed to releasing a limited-edition vinyl for those who choose to enjoy their music using this format; however, I believe that our community needs to be more sensitive with their vinyl strategy."
