Nick Cave & the Bad Seed, Henry's Dream (heard 'Straight to You' on Barney Simon's weekend show on Radio 5 in 1991). Oh, not a public place -- sorry.

Portishead 'Dummy' (Musica, Grahamstown, when the CD came out).

Daddy G - Dj Kicks
(Heard it in a HMV and went straight up and asked who it was and bought it)

Pascal F.E.O.S - From The Essence Of Minimalistic Sound
(It was playing at a party I was at, got it the next day)

Royksopp - Melody AM
(Saw the track "poor leno" on MTV and immeditely went looking for the album)


EDIT - Whoops, not all public places.

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire - at 3 Acre Woods Records in St Paul around 72 or 73.
