Memo ¿Dondé compras tus discos en México?, o ¿Los pides por Internet?

En verdad me interesa saber porque la única manera que yo los consigo es por medio de Internet.

  En el DF hay varios lugares donde comprar progresivo, y no solo el comercial, te recomiendo dos lugares en especial, uno es el bazar de lomas verdes, hasta el final nada mas abre los sabados y domingos este chavo, tiene muy buen material y sobre todo barato... otro es discos aquarius, esta en la colonia roma, en la calle de Coahila, ahi tienen mucho progre muy bueno, y muy underground, solo que si es caro ahi.... claro tambien estan los Mixups.. aunque ahi si hay progre pero mas que nada muy comercial... el Mixup mas surtido es el de perisur...

  Pero como dices yo lo que te recomiendo es comprar por internet, ahi no tienes pierde, ahi encuentras todo y a un buen precio, eBay, CDuniverse y Amazon... no hay pierde...
Mil gracias Cucacola54.

I happen to love italian prog even more than british itself, I know that maybe it´s all influenced by the giants as ELP, King Crimson and others; but I prefer Le Orme over ELP, Semiramis - Dedicato a Frazz over any Gabriel-era Genesis album, Zarathustra  over any Yes album, and so on. All I got to say is italian prog is the best thing I´ve ever heard in my life.

Italian prog is just as important to me as British and German prog.  The number of quality one shot releases is incredible in the Italian genre.  I wonder what kind of further quality releases bands would have released if they only had the backing and money.  We would have a lot more classics.

I always liked PFM, had a bunch of the LPs in the 70s including the first two (as imports).  Now I'm starting to get their Cds.  I always smile when i put on "Cook" so that I guess would be my first choice.  Recently I purchased Ulisse its entirely different but an interesting work compared to their earlier works.  Judging from the post looks like I should get some Goblin !!
