Austin Chronicle

As a record of a cultural institution, and the loss of a forum for art and community, Other Music is interesting enough, and arguably fascinating for fans of esoterica. But the camera should have taken a few more steps out of the door.

Rated: 2.5/5

More than any other visual document, it celebrates and immortalizes the culture of the record store and record nerds.

An exciting reminder of what culture-retailers can be, if customers don't retreat to the cloud.

Smart and warm. A loving portrait of a place that meant the world to a lot of people, and formed the heart of a community. Plus: good music!

It's a celebration of music with an on-the-ground view of the last days of an iconic NYC store; a celebration of its legacy, how music influenced it and how the store influenced the music that its customers listened to, and how the store now exists only in memories and the remnants of the indelible sounds that it championed.

This is a well-crafted doc that tells the story of a great record store that's no longer there. Even if records aren't important to you, its a great window into how communities can be anchored by small local shops.

Loved this movie almost as much as I used to love record stores.

The fate of the Outer Music store comes very early in the documentary. And, much of the movie involves talk with background music. Alternative, off-the-grid music fans will appreciate the store's vision and a few celebrity customers wax nostalgic.
