Excellent store specializing in prog and psych, both CD and vinyl,
including many rarities. They stock music from all over including
South America and Mexico. It is run by Jose Martin Hernandez, who
is the man behind the Lost Vinyl label (Atila, Itoiz, etc.). He
is very knowledgeable and would play stuff for you to audition. He
also runs a mail order service. His extensive catalog is free for
the asking. Address catalog requests to: Jose Martin Hernandez,
Records and CDs by Mail, Apartado 8347, 46080 Valencia, Spain.

Great little store in the heart of Madrid (Puerta del Sol
area). They stock music from all over the world and, of course,
Spain. They stock quite a bit of prog plus other genres. Very
knowledgeable staff. The store is about equally divided between
CDs and LPs. Large section of used LPs but no used CDs. Spanish
releases are ~ $14.00 and others ~ $20.00. Recently, they
have ventured into releasing CDs under their own label (Discos
Melocoton). My favorite store in Madrid!

Madrid Rock
::Address::
Gran Via 25, Madrid, Spain

::Comments::
Madrid Rock is the largest chain of music stores in the Madrid
area. They carry mainly the nuts and bolts CDs that any other chain
store carries. *However*, this particular store in the Gran Via
has a whole aisle dedicated to rock from Spain, including most
of the Spanish prog groups (Bloque, Triana, Mezquita, Eduardo
Bort, Granada, Gotic, etc.) and at a relatively nice price (~
$14.00). They have the largest selection of Spanish rock CDs I
have seen anywhere in Spain. Also, this is the only store that
does not close for the siesta.

The store is located close to Fontana subway station. They
have a lot of progressive stuff, specially neo-progressive (IQ,
Pendragon, Jadis, Cyan, Leviathan, Citizien Cain, Casino, Twelth
Night, Violent District, Arrakeen, Big Picture, Aragon, Pallas,
Starcastle, Clepsydra, Chandelier, etc). They also have a good list
of Spanish and Italian releases (Gotic, Iman, Asfalato, PFM, Banco,
Osanna, Le Orme, Arti+Mestieri, Eris Pluvia, Harnakis, Galadriel,
Il Volo, Metamorfosi, Seminaris, etc), among other countries and
differents styles in the prog. scene (Änglagård, Amon Düül, Atoll,
Cathedral, Coda, Collage, Curved Air, Dice, Dream Theater, Echolyn,
Eloy, The Enid, Greenslade, Henry Cow, Kayak, Machiavel, Nektar,
O Terc,o, Popol Vuh, Sagrado, Tiemko, Triumvirat, etc, etc).
They have a smaller collection of Rock, Jazz and New-Age music.
The prices range from 1800 to 3400 pts (about $14-$26). Twice a
year they print their updated catalogue (I have the last one).
The catalogue they produce is stunning. Many albums listed have
full colour reproductions of the covers and it is well typeset.
