does anyone buy stuff from them anymore? i've looked for,
for example venetian snares, in New Zealand, Japan and
Switzerland.... can't find any anywhere..
We had some good ones in Auckland...
Can anyone recommend me any in or near Switzerland?

Unless you live in a place big enough to have a Virgin or
HMV or lucky enough to have a good indie store there is no
point in looking.
My local Andys Records has no Autechre, nothing off Rephlex,
Skam, Planet Mu. I have to wait 'till I go to bigger places
like Manchester, to buy my CDs

I buy most of my stuff from Reveal Records in Derby. What
they lose by not being a very big shop they make up for in
having pretty good taste.

I used to get everything from Selectadisc in Nottingham, but
since I no longer work there I don't have cause to go into
the city much. Still, I can definitely recommend them.

It's rare that I buy music online. I just like going into a
shop and rifling through what they have, see what I can dig
up. Unless there's a big release out that I specifically
want, I really have no idea what I'm going to come out of
the shop with,

lucky - i should look further a field. its pretty cheap for
rephlex & warp and has plenty of promos before records come
out

People the place to go to get records is Soho in London
particularly Berwick Street. Though its a very grubby and
dirty street. Actually I don't really go there anymore but
if I want to buy stuff from Rephlex/Planet-Mu etc thats
where I'd probably go but then I may also go to HMV down
Oxford Street which la la la la la la talking to myself la
la la its a nice day la la la la.........

Best place for me in London is Rough Trade, I can spend
hours rummaging around in there.

London has a marginally bigger selection, but their layout
sucks and it gets way too busy.

The best record store I've ever been to is Amoeba in San
Francisco. It is HUGE.

danbrusca,

Rough Trade is pretty good. I haven't been there for a long
time though. Fat Cat used to be the definitive place to go
for the cool releases. It was definitely the mecca for
techno and electronic music says 5 years ago, but it closed
down. Ask anyone and they'll tell you. Those were the days.

there.... shame none of the good stuff is in the clear out
sale!

we've got a place here in Iowa City called the record
collector that has a pretty extensive collection of idm and
such, that's where I buy most of my music recently, that or
ebay

We have some good independent shops here in Antwerp, that
helps.
