Im having you on my Friend.... Anyways, if you want to go to a nice market (non psy related) you might want to check out the El Rastro... pretty nice, I wrote about it in my Travel report from this summer.

 

Chueca, is the gay area of Madrid, and there is probably where you will find the most fun in the evening (not everyone there is gay )

 

Have fun mate!

I usually buy most of my records online these days but some stores downtown are worth mentioning.

 

* La Metralleta (Pza. Descalzas Reales, well, down under): there's this weird underground passage with 3 or 4 second-hand shops. This is the best place to scavenge for used records. I bought the second Muses Rapt album here, so maybe you can find some psy if you're lucky.

 

* ROTOR (Gran Via 40, 6th floor): electronic/experimental music specialists, great for techno / house / ambient / weird music. They print a great monthly newsletter (which you can read online at their website, in Spanish, though) with regular coverage of releases by FAX, Steve Roach, Ant-Zen, Kompakt, Raster-Noton... right to more esoteric stuff. Used to have a Goa trance section, but not anymore (a shame, I got my first trance albums there). Expensive (CDs=17€).

 

* Disco Express (Fernandez de los Rios, 51): music importers that have non-mainstream genres well covered (good place to look for goth and industrial). It's been a few years since I last dropped by, but they had some psy (mostly Global Trance Network releases).

 

* CD-Drome (Pozas, 6): new store with an interesting selection of pop, electronica, house, techno... I haven't seen any trance there, though, they kind of focus on the trendy stuff. Decent prices.

 

Enjoy your time in Madrid!
