Modern Music/PSF POST CODE: 156 2-45-11 TERADA Bld. 2F Matsubara Setagaya-ku TOKYO 03-3322-4461
Tokyo, Japan
6 8 N/A High Here are some detailed instructions on how to get to Modern Music/PSF: In Tokyo, find the Keio subway line. The Keio line is a private railway so you'll have to ask around but you should be able to get there via the trains that go to Shibuya JR station... Before you get on the Keio line ask someone where the "Meidaimae" station is. Once they/you find it, ask which platform to stand at to catch the train to Meidaimae station. All you have to do from there is listen for the station name...it's really not that hard. There is only one exit out of Meidaimae station so when you exit, turn to the right and walk down until the street ends. At this point you turn left and start looking up on the left hand side of the street for a thinly lettered sign that says Modern Music (in simple Katakana characters). Even if you can't read Japanese, you can tell the sign by it's extremely thin lettering. Last time I was there, they had a ton of 60's psych, noise (Merzbow-type stuff), PSF artists (ranging from folk to psych to semi-prog) and other stuff that you literally have to dig for. The shop is about the size of a walk-in closet. Stuff is piled *everywhere* so it's an adventure just looking for things. Once you find something though, yow! They do have some amazing stuff.

N/A 8 7 6 Y N N Hi A multistory mecca which smells and feels like a sino-Virgin megastore. Pretty good ambient, trance, IDM, and jungle selection however, with everything from rephlex to basic channel. Expect to pay, though (it's Tokyo, remember) with most CD's running 2100 to 2500 yen. Listening on pre-programmed kiosks. Decent vinyl selection, but not as good as the CD selection. Good spot for local mags and club fliers as well.

4 6 3 Y High This is a relatively new store in Tokyo dealing in '60's rare psych and modern noise. The store is run my Mayuko Hino of CCCC (Cosmic Coincidence Control Center). I don't have any info off-hand about its location but that last time Hino was in the US at a record swap I was at, she dropped some *serious* cash on rare stuff.
