The addresses do not have to be IDM-specific, >I'll take anything as long as they sell new vynil (I don't have time to dig >into piles of used records...) > Several good stores near South Street: 611 Records is Josh Wink's place, 611 S. 4th - might have already moved across the street. House, techno, jungle, ambient, trance, tons of vinyl, good selection of CDs. Digital Underground on 5th between South and Lombard - dark ambient, industrial, trance, FAX, etc. State of the Art on South between 6th and 8th...? New place; haven't been there yet, supposedly great, hopes to fill the void left by 3rd Street's demise. HMV on 15th and Walnut and Tower on South - too expensive, but you can find some gems if you dig around. There's another DJ store on Pine near 12th, mostly house. 3
