Alan, here's a good tip ;) i order most of my electronic CD's from
the cheap UK online shops, such as Play.com or Powerplaydirect.com .
not many people know that you can actually buy electronic stuff from
these very commercial sites! of course you can't find every
electronic album there, but labels like Toytronic, Merck, Lo, Warp,
Rephlex are usually available. and not for £12.99, but for a cool
£7.99-9.99 :)) great deal, no ? ;)
not sure how this is useful for american users, but i think Play.com
ship worldwide (for free?), so worth checking out.
