Discurio/Title Space.

Discurio, (Title Space)
113 Hardware Street Melbourne 3000
Ph: 03 9600 1488
(another brick and mortar now close)


Visited Discurio today, soz 'Title'.
Discurio was the classical music specially shop back in the day, however it has since been brought out by Title Space a local music/book shop franchise. Which is a bit of shame because I remember Discurio as being a real patron of the Melbourne classic music scene, sponsoring local concerts and stocking albums you just couldn't find anywhere else.

The Title buy out may have kept the doors open but they have brought their own safe, homogenized, pasteurized and franchised version of a record shop to the store. There are still a few examples of character and flavor and at least some of the original specialist catalogue. But overall the programed tastes of corporate wantabies hold rein and the vinyl collection was so sad looking I went straight to the CD's picking up Stravinsky's Rite of Spring to drown my sorrow.
