Skam, Clear, Rephlex,....At Gramamphone *LAFF* They buy two of them
and put them in the bins... the only good shit ive foudn there was some
of the Demon releases by Franeck... plus the store clerks are morons
("d00d...check out this killer release by bangaltar man") they do have
a nice cut out section (scored some spymania stuff in it). as for thrill
jockey stuff..who in chicago/midwest us doesnt have it?
i usually head out to the quaker's deaf....i dont know the addy...last
time i was there they wouldnt let you listen to the releases ... go there
if you know what you want.
*shameless plug on*
if you are up for the drive..champaign/urbana is two hours south of
chicago...and as of April 1 the store front for Big Wheel
Clothing/Distortion Records will be opening. I try to carry all the new
IDM releases out there...including: Worm Interface, Hot Air, A-Musik, Drop
Beat, plus many unknown domestic artists, and much more
we will soon have online ordering...but the web hoster hasnt completed
their part of the deal yet.
*shamless plug off*
good luck
