Hiya Valizan, I know what you mean about stores that only stock two copies of Six Degrees stuff, unfortunately that seems to be the rule rather than the exception.

The FYE in South Beach, Miami, also only had two copies of Niyaz's Nine Heavens on their shelves. Luckily, I went there on the very Tuesday the album got released. The first question the store attendant asked me when I mentioned Niyaz was "is that the Hawaiian guy?," to which my response was "No, it's a trio that plays Persian fusion music." LOL

Amoeba's is indeed in the Haight. The last time I went there was actually with a very dear Tribe friend of mine, DJ Lady Ra of Vancouver, BC, when we came down to check out the Wordly event featuring Six Degrees artists Cheb i Sabbah, the MIDIval PunditZ, and Karsh Kale back in September of 2005 (Incidentally, I just saw KK and the PunditZ at SOB's in NYC this past Thursday; they also have upcoming shows in Toronto and SF if you're interested). Anyway, Amoeba's is definitely for the impulsive eclectic music buyer like so many of us :)

I haven't been to Amoeba's in a couple of years now tho I know I'll go berserk the next time go there and spend my entire music budget for two months easily. Btw, last time I was in Toronto was two summers ago--got to see the musical version of Lord of The Rings (with music composed by A R Rahman and Varttina) and Chebiji's show at the Gypsy Co-op the same night!
