I suggest Deep Grooves right down the street from Vintage -- their selection of ambient/idm is probably not as extensive as their selection of house, but it's still a decent store. While you're there, talk to Bob Lynn (he used to spin regularly when St Louis still had chill rooms) or Lance (he brought in Mixmaster Morris last year) -- both are really nice guys. As far as clubs go, I hear there's a new club called ultrasound run by Alexis Tucci (sp?) who is aka That Girl Productions. They should be able to tell you more at Deep Grooves. -- wallace winfrey sysadmin, nicar/ire wally@nicar.org
