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.

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

you might not have to special order, this place has some eccentric stuff, not all of it but hey, its the size of my living room.

Pros: good selection, great hard to find, good vinyl

Cons: more space, more stuff

It's not a very large store, but I went there mainly to find electronic music I think I'd otherwise have to buy online. I happened to find about everything I wanted and other things I didn't even know I wanted. The prices seem reasonable to me; it beats paying s+h and I'd imagine any major retail store would be more expensive. Like other people have said, there is a feeling of pretentiousness with the work staff (then again more stores seem to be that way), but then all you really need them to do is ring up your purchase.

This tiny store has a nice collection of indie rock, experimental, dance, and jazz CDs and even 7" records for those truly obsessed music collectors. The staff sometimes seems a bit aloof, but if you need a recommendation they are very knowledgable about all those songs you won't hear on local commercial radio.

Editor's Review

New York's record store of the moment, packed with electronica, exotica and globe-spanning curios.  See the full editorial review.
