Albums on vinyl / albums on CD

Hi,

I've noticed that I prefer listening to the first 3 albums
by Boards of Canada (great band) on CD, but that I prefer
listening to Tomorrow's Harvest on Vinyl, because for this
fourth album, I like to flip the record between side A and
B, to change the record between B and C, and to flip again
between C and D. This manual activity fits my experience of
this music and allows a breath between some of the tracks.
But for The Campfire Headphase (for instance) I'd rather
listen to it from track 1 to track 15 without interruption.

For the moment, I only heard Inferno via a streaming
platform (uBlock blocking the ads between tracks). Perhaps I
would enjoy it better if I flipped sides of the Inferno
records??!

What's your experience? Are there some albums you prefer to
listen to on CD/digital rather than on Vinyl or vice versa
for the exact same purpose as me? (or for still another
purpose unrelated to sound quality)

Yeah, I love the way it makes you slow down and savor a bit.
Big artwork, tactile flips, the whole ritual.

I also enjoy cassettes on a decent but imperfect/modestly
priced player. It's the particular wow and flutter.

I love stochastic music on digital, especially massive
catalogs with lots of warmth in the masters like
Recollection GRM.
