Quotation
by Abigail Gardener

«The creation of an almost-infinitely large archive that is attendant on digital culture, particularly as we proceed further into the era of cloud computing, will mean that a retrospective sorting out of what music is worth listening to will become an even more pressing concern than it has been up to now.»

The quote is taken from the article «Raiders of the Lost Archives» by Abigail Gardner and Gerard Moore, published 2016 in «Popular Communication». Last accessed on November 17, 2020.
