just got the biosphere reissue today (partly from recomendations here. cheers!) anyway yeh very nice. glacial's a bit of a hackneyed word to describe it (hmmm.. comes from norway....within the arctic circle...i know, ideal adjective: glacial!) but itll do. it is very crisp and chilly, though. nice and understated but a lot to pull you in and take you on a meditative journey. mmmmmm.... NICE. ps in reply to another thread abt good record shops, i got this cd at pelicanneck records in manchester. www.pelicanneck.com all details there mail order etc. v v good selection of electonica glitch experimental sorta stuff, some beats and left field thrown into the brew for good measure. another good one is piccadilly records, www.piccadillyrecords.com, HUGE selection prog/kraut/electronica/techno/jazz/spacerock/dub/...you get the idea! these two are my most oft visited music retailers, and they are quite good. -thomas ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Seconded here - this is a great shop, usually £1 or so cheaper for albums than Piccadilly, by and large. IIRC their policy is to stock independent labels only (at least that's what the chap I spoke to told me). 3rd floor of Affleck's Palace, towards the Tib Street Entrance. The selection of Warp/Skam/that kind of thing seems larger than Piccadilly's, to me at least. Didn't PN have something to do with the City Centre Offices compilation too?

Manchester's other great new stuff shop, imo - more expensive than Pelican Neck, and a slightly larger selection of genres, if memory serves. Piccadilly is just down the road from the building Pelican Neck is in, on Oldham Street. Others worth checking - M 1 records (Oldham Street again) in a basement between an "Everything 50p!" shop and a barbers, iirc. Not a bad second hand shop - selection will vary widely in quality, so it's one of those places to drop in to every now and then for a good look through the racks. Cheaper than Vinyl Exchange, but make sure you check the discs for scratches etc - imo, their rating system isn't quite as stringent as the Vinyl Exchange. Vinyl Exchange (Oldham Street & Deangate - Deansgate is CDs and videos only). Great second hand shop - ratings (mint, v good etc) usually accurate, good prices if you're selling part of your collection (better if you exchange for other tunes in the shop) and a wide selection of genres. I find the selection is better during the university holidays (students aren't in there cherry picking the good stuff before us wage slaves can get out on lunch). Does anyone know if the Motion Shop Finder is still going, btw? They were setting up an international database of this kind of thing... don't know the exact url, but motion is at http://motion.state51.co.uk . --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
