   The tables are turning again with Microg   
   27 Jan 16 16:36:35   
   
   From: sunofmusic@gmail.com   
      
   Inventor Andre Gray is turning the tables again with the launch of   
   Microgrooves HD, Microgrooves Digital and Microgrooves Green T vinyl record   
   formats nomenclature.   
      
   Launched exactly at 12:00 AM, January 1st, 2016 EST, it is symbolic of an   
   epochal change, complete with a New Years Eve party on Gray's Twitter account   
   with a theme that said it all: The Vinyl Countdown. Whether casual vinyl fans,   
   serious record    
   collectors or the elitist audiophiles, the three levels of the Microgrooves   
   nomenclature will appeal to everyone through its various high sound quality   
   levels. Invented by Andre Gray in 2007 and awarded patents in 2010, this is   
   the biggest improvement in    
   the sound quality of the vinyl record format in years. To achieve this, Gray   
   focused upon five aspects of the record pressing process: Height, Weight,   
   Closer Microgrooves, Deeper Microgrooves, Fish Oil, and, for Microgrooves   
   Green T, green tea liquid    
   extract. These three vinyl formats covers the 7" and 12" vinyl formats.   
      
   At the top level of the three newly introduced vinyl formats is Microgrooves   
   HD, which is pressed from virgin vinyl and weighs in at 220 grams for 12"   
   format and 60 grams for the 7" format. It also boasts closer and slightly   
   deeper microgrooves, which,    
   according to Gray, is what really improves sound quality. Microgrooves HD is   
   also approximately ten percent thinner than other vinyl formats currently on   
   the market. The slightly added ingredient of fish oil can be found in the   
   Microgrooves HD and    
   Microgrooves Digital formats in the nomenclature. The resulting sound quality   
   of this format is rather similar to Japanese Pressing.   
      
   At the second level of the nomenclature is the Microgrooves Digital format.   
   Much like Microgrooves HD, it has pretty the same ingredients except that it   
   weighs in at 200 grams for the 12" format and 50 grams for the 7" format. The   
   final sound quality of    
   the format is a bit better than 180 grams pressing but not as good as   
   Microgrooves HD or Japanese Pressing.   
      
   Microgrooves Green T, as the name suggests, is actually made from green tea   
   liquid extracts and recycled vinyl. The green tea liquid extract is mixed with   
   the other liquids used in the record pressing process according to formula.   
   Weighing in at 200    
   grams for the 12" format and 50 grams for the 7" format, it has a sound   
   quality that is impressive, but not as good Microgrooves HD and Digital. In   
   keeping with the green theme, Gray recommends that record pressing plants   
   press Microgrooves Green T only    
   in the color of green. For those who are a part of the green revolution but   
   still want to enjoy great sounding vinyl, this is for them.   
      
   In terms of intellectual property rights, Gray is giving away the Microgrooves   
   vinyl record nomenclature absolutely free to anyone and everyone who wants to   
   use it and make whatever changes they want. Because of his desire for   
   uniformity, he will make    
   public everything regarding the manufacturing process and the simple requests   
   of including the sticker logo (also designed by Gray) on the record sleeve   
   indicating which of the three Microgrooves nomenclature was used to   
   manufacture the record. These    
   three formats join Microgrooves Electronic, or Microgrooves-E, the world's   
   very first mobile phone music player that was invented by Andre Gray and   
   introduced to the public on July 16th, 1998 at the Jupiter Communications   
   Plug.In Digital Music conference    
   in New York City.   
      
   Andre Gray is an inventor of Belizean extraction who widely known as the sole   
   inventor of the Electronic Ticket (1991), Ringtones & Ringbacks (SYNC   
   Programming Language) 1994, Electronic Press Kit (1995), Microgrooves   
   Electronic (world's first mobile    
   phone music player) 1998, Online Music Sales Certifications (1999),   
   Microgrooves HD (2007), Microgrooves Digital (2007), Microgrooves Green T   
   (2007) and many more inventions & innovations. He is also known for uploading   
   the very first complete song on    
   the Internet on August 8, 1988 titled, "Internet Killed The Video Star", a   
   song he composed in the MIDI format.
