What People Are Saying About Other Music Inc

The Scene – Other Music lives up to its name by stocking nearly everything Tower's behemoth NY flagship across the street doesn't. It's a small room stuffed full of obscure gems, where you'll hear anything from the latest hot electronica to '70s free jazz. Occasionally, the record and disc racks are pushed aside and the main floor is transformed into an impromptu stage for DJs, tunesmiths and indie-rockers such as Rainer Maria, Japanese neo-hippies Ghost, DJ Shadow, the Tindersticks, Gary Wilson and Neil Halstead. – – The Goods – Eighty percent CDs, 20 percent vinyl…

  1. The prices seem reasonable to me; it beats paying s+h and I'd imagine any major retail store would be more expensive.
  2. The store is small and cramped but the employees are knowledgeable and the prices are

shaping the taste of NYC

by christos

If you're truly interested in new music, this is the shop that's been shaping the tastes of downtown new yorkers. Many a New yorker watches for an email reviewing the new additions to the shelves just inside the door.

cozy store with eclectic selection

by paracetamol24

It's no Amoeba or Aquarius (AMAZING L.A. and S.F. record shops) but it's really the only place in NY where I buy CDs. This small shop is usually packed whenever I go, and I spend hours looking through the selection of new and used CDs. Obscure records can be found here, as well as informative reviews to aid in your decision making. The selection isn't as extensive as I'd like, but it's decent. The clerks aren't exactly chilly, but I can't say they're as helpful as others I've encountered at Amoeba or Aquarius...

  • Pros: good selection
  • Cons: a bit small

  • Pros: good selection, great hard to find, good vinyl
  • Cons: more space, more stuff
