Their main specialty is electronic and new age synth music: what
they don't know about the availability of T.Dream, Kit Watkins,
Gandalf, etc, etc, isn't worth knowing. They are also very helpful
with all manner of progressive stuff, including Gong, Canterbury,
Bruford, Camel, etc, etc. These were the guys who, when I called
up about a CD of Pink Floyd's Relics, instantly knew that it was
only ever available from Australia, its legality was in some doubt,
and has been out of print for about two years. They will get imports
from anywhere in the world, and if you're thinking about a Japanese
import, they will often have a good idea whether it's likely to soon
become available from elsewhere, and therefore be much cheaper if you
wait a while. Their prices are not discounted, and they do charge
postage, but they give a good service (recorded delivery within
the UK), and always seem to know how to try and get obscure stuff.
Very good outlet, reliable with reasonable prices (for Britain
:-). This months ad shows releases by Anyone's Daughter, Asia Minor,
Cannata, Circus, Cirkel, The Enid, Ivory, Kaipa, Kayak, Mercy Train,
Mythos, Pendragon, Red Jasper, SRC and Summer Indoors all for around
$17.00.

They deal in all kinds of music, if interested in special things,
talk to Arnstein (manager) who know most about everything. They
are very helpful. They release 2 main catalogs and 10 updates
pr. year. Catalogues can be subscribed for 5-6 pounds for one
year, 9-10 for two years. Most of the catalog is printed in
norwegian, but there are some english columns as well. Their
normal prices are around 13-14 pounds of which 18.02% can be
deducted (norw. VAT). Special offers, discounts etc. are also
obtainable. Orders for foreign customers are at minimum 500
nok (45-47 pounds), orders can be phoned, faxed or mailed
(snail-mail). Note that it is the cost of the total order
that is important, not the actual cost (if any records are
unavailable). They prefer payment by creditcards (VISA, AMERICAN
EXPRESS and MASTERCARD), but pre-payment is also accepted through
a proforma invoice. If things are out of stock, and therefore the
delivery takes some time, they will inform you on your order-status
if you call them. A very helpful bunch of people.
