I wanted to go here because I grew up on a lot of the stuff that they released on their label in the 90's and 2000's. I got buzzed in and greeted, and then they left me alone to go through the tables of underground zines, printed matter and of course, vinyl. There were about 3-4 long tables of experimental records, some classified by country, which I thought was an interesting way to organize the stacks. As such there was a lot I'd never heard of. If I had more time, I would be more motivated to hang out on the couch and preview some of the records at the listening station. Prices were ok. I saw a lot of records with an average price of 13 Euro. Their printed matter is also extensive, and a good place to go for interesting zines and small publication arty reads.
