The Tower at Market and Castro in San Francisco usually has an excellent
selection of IDM.
Past examples of purchases there include FSOL (all the lp's plus the
earthbeat sampler. This store had a couple hundred copies of the "limited"
ISDN as well), Balil, EBN, Intermix, all the TEX's, the AI series,
Autechre, and on and on. There's also a good Industrial section.
The cutout bins are awesome there, too... I got Balil's Parasight ep for
$2, for example.
Just FYI,
