I am from munich and knew Optimal and Ludwig Beck, but never heard of M2. Thank you very much, i'll check it out!

[macheifach]

I really enjoy your quick or subtle music recommondations or rather mentions during your usual videos, I usually give them a listen. Ever thought about having a 2nd channel only for the music talk?

[AnotherAnonymousMan]

1:55 I wasn't expecting John Darko to peer into my very soul today. I'll still campaign for the Darko red hot chilli peppers album review series to happen.

9:58 Nice of you to think of us John, but we're audiophiles: we don't listen to music... We just endlessly buy new gear and test it!

Worked in Munich back in 2001-02 and was a regular customer at M2 in Schwabing. Good to see it still thriving 👍🏻👍🏻

[jinvid]

OMG!! John and Jana together!!! Audio All Stars Unite!

[stevep]

Yes Yes Yes, this is the video I've been waiting for excellent!!
Thank you!! :)

[jamesattenborough]

Interesting little shopping trip. Thanks for sharing. It's nice to see different parts of the world

[djsoulfilter]

The Twilight Sad. Love that band and that album!!

[Big-J-]

My daughter and I did a long afternoon record shopping in Dublin in March. Fun stuff!

[billpetersenjr.]

It's pretty funny that you refer to Optimal as grungy and gritty. Compared to a few of the local shops here in New Orleans it looks like a surgical center with music in it.

[MartinLeschinski]

oh so you were in my neighbourhood- we live close to the M2 :) great music picks, like always!

[frederikjacob]

John, i really like your style of music. The great audiophile things (with a twist sometimes) and those techno records also. I'm building a vinyl collection besides my dj records, bit like you and I'm buying cd's again that I've had in the past and sold or lost and also some new stuff. I always love the vinyl/cd buying content over here! More of this please!

[flyergowest]

As I wrote before I like these episodes of your travels to LP and cd stores. Thanks. Enjoy all your work.

[Vikings_FAN_]

Am I the only one who doesn‘t know ANY of the Artists John is talking about in his videos?

[hanSolo]

Thanks John for recommending Dream Injection! 1995 was such a definitive period in the creation of IDM and ambient techno. I often get the feeling of being grounded when listening to it. Already playing it, already found it on the web and I think, I'm gonna buy it.

[anthonyk]

Wow, didn't know these stores existed! Visited Munich twice in 2018 and 2019 :((( Thanks for this video, will definitely check those out next time I'm there =D

[rumble]

So glad you picked up It'll End in Tears. It's still my favourite record of all time. Played my copy again just last night.

[chaseroyell]

I love learning about music. Thank you

[beatlesfansam]

Great video. I enjoyed following along on this trip, and especially liked Ludwig Beck.
