"I want to note again how much time you save me by sourcing all these different kinds of music to me. Years ago I'd spend weeks trying to find a place to get a Namlook/Schulze disc or the like, and wait months without knowing whether my local small shop would find a place to get it or not. I missed a lot of stuff I didn't want to miss just by never finding a place to get it, not to mention the music I would have wanted to listen to if I had known it was out there in the first place. Thanks."
-- Bob C. (Michigan)
