Special Announcement
We want to thank all of you who’ve visited othermusic.com and ordered from us since we first opened our website back in 1998. As we approach Other Music’s final day of business on June 25th, we must scale back our mail-order service to just OM-related merchandise and catalog releases off the Other Music Recording Co. label. Our shipping department is currently processing all outstanding orders — for any inquiries email orders@othermusic.com.
Please note: all of of our staff’s past reviews can be found in the Other Music Update Archive going back to early 2000 and are searchable by the “artist” name — the “buy” links, however, will no longer be active.
In the meantime, if you're in New York City please stop by and see us one last time before we close our doors on Saturday, June 25th. Stay up to date with upcoming Other Music events by subscribing to our email list.
