The humble compact disc could stop appearing on shelves at HMV stores within the next 5 years, according to an article in (the always trustful source) The Sun which cohered with Executive of HMV Simon Fox.
“There will be a place for CDs, but it’s difficult to see out more than five years,” he said to The Sun. This news comes after reports of a slump in sales of the CD and at HMV stores. Earlier on in the year it announced it was going to close some stores after poorer profits than usual.

(I really like the voice pitch manipulation in Deeper Understanding, it makes sense and is used for a reason! Considering the song was actually released 20 years ago originally, the relevancy to today is shocking.)
