My daughter had ideas for how she wanted her wedding invitations to look, and they took those ideas , expanded on them, and created a beautiful and unique design that was everything and more than we envisioned.

We are looking forward to having them handle the day-of coordination for the wedding.

I'm a fan of a lot of fairly obscure industrial, experimental, and electronic stuff, and they never disappoint. You can also find a lot of contemporary popular music (especially if it's more on the indie side of things), a great selection of metal, soundtracks, and jazz. They even have a cool selection of blu-rays, including some boutique label stuff. It's a great place for discovery. I can always count on finding some obscure jazz reissue that I hadn't even realized was available or some experimental/electronic title that I figured I'd have to order straight from the label. Highly, highly recommended.

Reverberation is an unusual record store. I've never seen so many records in one place from…read moreartists/bands I don't recognize, but at the same time, I've spotted some very obscure stuff in the experimental and jazz sections, so I wonder if they cater to people with a taste for lesser known music. At least for the styles I shop for (jazz, experimental, electronic), this store is full of strange, unknown things. I like how they have a special section for deluxe horror movie soundtracks (think Waxwork Records, Mondo, and the like). I also appreciate how you never know what kind of weird thing you'll find there (like an old DJ Krush Mo Wax 10" for a reasonable price). My main complaint is the difficulty of browsing. First, the record bins in the main area are so high that you need a stool to see the furthest back albums unless you're decently over 6' tall. The store has stools sitting around for just this purpose. Second, the bins are completely packed, so there's no flipping through records. You have to grab a chunk, set them aside, and then you can brows. It makes digging a real pain and is one of the reasons Reverberations isn't in my regular rotation. Some have written about the owner being rude. I didn't find him rude, but yeah, he doesn't usually say hello or goodbye or look you in the eye when you check out. Definitely not the gregarious type you find at a place like Exile in Champaign, but I never got a rude vibe. Maybe he's more effusive and warm if you're a regular. If browsing wasn't such a pain, I'd give it four stars. Any record shop that continues to exist is a good thing. Certainly worth checking out if you're in the area.

I've done a lot of business with this shop over the past two years and have sold what I estimate to…read morebe well over $3,000 worth of cards and collectibles. I understand any card shop needs to make a profit, but I was disappointed with the buy offers I received. In my experience, many offers were around 30 to 50 percent of what the same cards or merchandise was later listed for in the store. (I go there frequently) Especially for higher-value cards, that difference felt significant. Everyone's experience may be different, but mine left me feeling like my collection wasn't valued as fairly as I'd hoped. I sold a hand full of grail cards and consoles and knick nack related stuff to them. BUT. Because of that, I'd encourage anyone looking to sell cards or collectibles to shop around and get quotes from multiple stores before accepting an offer. Personally, I would check other shops first and only consider selling here as a last resort. I genuinely hope the shop continues to do well, but I also hope they consider making their buy list process more transparent and competitive... Shop around before coming here. That's my experience.
