zvinki,
London has a lot of Record stores but none of them seem to stock anything apart from the mainstream stuff.
If I hear anything on AM that I want to buy I tend to click on the "Buy" button and get it via Amazon. Some times works out a bit dearer but at least I know it's going to arrive at some point.
Glad to hear you like Renaissance too. I've been listening to them for more years than I care to remember. My own favourite Renaissance album is 'A song for all seasons' which unfortunately isn't on the AM playlist.............how about that PROGDIRJIM?
There is so much great music out there but we need to keep on buying their stuff to keep the wheels of creativity turning. AM does a great job in introducing us to all these guys and gals. It's up to all of us to lend support in the only way we can....pass on the word, go to the gigs and buy the albums.
Edit:
Just to prove I practise what I preach i've just bought (via Amazon):
Niacin - High Bias AND
Erik Norlander - Into the Sunset.
Thank you AM!!! Another couple of discoveries thanks to you guys.
