Too bad most of the guys who work at Let It Be are complete fucking pricks. I guess I've received more common courtesy from their female employees. Also, why can't they ever play any decent music in the store? They always have to be playing some bizarre crap that drives customers out of the store. As far as their selection goes (what really matters), yes, it is good. I don't usually find that much IDM downstairs though...it's mostly trance and house vinyl. I was able to stock up on Plastikman records from them, which was very cool. However, have you been to the Virgin Megastore in Chicago? Man, that place blows Let It Be out of the water. Talk about IDM! Crappy prices though, and they won't let you listen to a CD before you buy it. forcasa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

No, I've never really had any problems shopping there... Most of the guys downstairs are really nice and know a lot about their respective genres.

Well, maybe that's what they like. *shrug*

Like I said, their IDM has dropped considerably now that Brad is gone, but the "experimental" section still has plenty of the standards (Warp, Rephlex, etc) plus a lot of stuff from obscure labels and some noisecore, breakcore and electro thrown in for good measure.

Yea, I live in Chicago now and I go there once in a while. It's a pretty nice store, as is the Tower at Clark and Fullerton. -- :: atomly :: atomly@atomly.com | atomly@atdot.org | atomly@curiousnetworks.com http://www.atomly.com | http://www.mp3.com/atomly --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

As far as Let It Be's IDM section goes...I think that it has just changed names. They have an amazing amount of new stuff as of late and I personally am impressed. Maybe it's just because this list has opened my eyes to names I hadn't heard before. Brad Kraft wasn't the only one there that knew IDM and experimental and the rest of the staff is pretty well versed in many genres. I was in there 3 days ago and I was greeted by everyone that works there, and I actually only knew one of them. I didn't see him until I was about to leave. --- atomly <atomly@atomly.com> wrote:
