RE: (313) Cisco's Demise
That's too bad. I remember trying to find the place (and getting lots of help from the locals) the first time I was in Japan. They had a pretty nice selection. I even ended up trading mix tapes with one of the guys that worked there (Morita Takeda Taniguchi). I still listen to that mix from time to time. I also remember having lots of fun trying to pack/stuff several pieces of vinyl in my luggage for the trip back home. I may be back in that area soon and had been looking forward to visiting the place again. There goes that idea... That really is a shame. I liked that store. Hopefully, this isn't an indicator of the Japanese techno scene. -ant- -Original Message- From: Simon Swain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 4:55 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) Cisco's Demise Word on the street from Tokyo: I know... its not good.. well, Cisco in Osaka is closing down, but they are combining all the stores in Tokyo into 1 store.

Re: (313) Cisco's Demise
wow. that sucks. dance tracks held a pretty cool stock of records and always played good stuff over the system. a bit house centered but i always want more techno. seems like people crossing into other cross product platforms like selling audio gear and software a la satellite are able to still do well (i hope).

Re: (313) Cisco's Demise
That's a shame to hear about dance tracks, I was just there over the Thanksgiving Holiday and noticed that bins were a bit sparse than previous years. Dance tracks was one of few stores in NYC that still supported domestic techno, even if they didn't order a ton of copies, they still stocked labels like us (technoir audio) and I always appreciated that fact. My last two purchases at Dance tracks were the Brennan Green - Escape from Chinatown (Daniel Wang Remix) and Tony Allen - Killmode (Carl Craig Remix) Its sad to realize that I'm running out of shops to dig in, each time I return home to the NYC metro area. jw On Nov 28, 2007 9:55 AM, Michael Kuszynski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: wow. that sucks. dance tracks held a pretty cool stock of records and always played good stuff over the system. a bit house centered but i always want more techno. seems like people crossing into other cross product platforms like selling audio gear and software a la satellite are able to still do well (i hope).
