My parents are moving out of my childhood home, and when I went back to move my stuff out I uncovered hundreds of CDs from my teenage years. I felt nostalgic, and remembered my old Sony Walkman that was unfortunately stolen from me long ago. I loved that thing, and eventually I got curious to look one up and was pleased to find Retrospekt. I saw the same Walkman model I use to have and bought it instantly. It came in pristine condition, I popped in my “Powerslave” CD by Iron Maiden and let it rip. I played it late at night while I rocked my newborn to sleep, it was a beautiful moment. At 36 years old, going back to my CDs feels good, it feels intentional without an overwhelming streaming library which I can appreciate now. Thank you Retrospekt.
