Who Puts the Super in the Sound?

If you are looking for elitist/selective mail order and innovative music sites on the Net (yes! We want standards!) whose reviews are critical and well written, whose prices are affordable and whose concerns extend beyond the gratification of geekish demands for immediacy – here are four:

www.insound.com has a lot of otherwise unavailable material at low prices;

www.epitonic.com hosts an excellent, enlightening selection of records and eyebrow-raising reviews (“This is fucking great! This is fucking great! This is fucking great!” etc.. on the first Die Kreuzen LP);

www.supersphere.com my personal favourite, features excellent audio and visual streams plus lots of links to critical, political pages.

www.hausmusik.com is the understated site of the hausmusik, payola and kollaps labels.
