If you enjoy music that comes from somewhere other than your local Top-40 radio station, you owe yourself a click on Aquarius Records. This online CD shop features the best alternative, underground, and downright unbelievable selection of music anywhere. Been looking for Cambodian psychedelic rock from the 70's? How about Techno covers of Iron Maiden? Or maybe a DJ that mixes rap with Rush? It's all here... and much, much more. But be warned: A trip to the Aquarius website might result in an hours-long musical detour. The hundreds of album descriptions are entertaining and informative, written by people who are passionate about music (betcha can't read just one). And, if you're like me, at the end of the day your cart will be filled with CDs you've never head of, yet know you must own.
For anyone who lives within 100 miles of San Francisco, the actual Aquarius Records store is located at 1055 Valencia.
