Future Music is a British magazine which is all about keyboards, samplers, effects pedals etc; most sorts of vaguely hi-tec musical equipment. It`s not actually to do with music, eg reviews - mainly equipment. It`s aimed at musicians, and not just electronic ones at that. I believe it`s the Future Publishing group who run it. It costs about ?2 per month so that`s probably about $5 in the States. It`s main rival is Music Technology which is now called MT and deals in the same sort of stuff... but it`s better because it does have a music review section (which concentrates on the technical quality of an album, ie what gear was used etcetera rather than the music as a whole). That`s a British magazine too, same price but different publisher... djkc: "Waveform - Transmission Vol. 1" is the name of Jeff Mills` album so I doubt it`s actually Mills doing the PA - he`d probably use his own name. Will-E: I`m not sure my hard drive could cope with a FAX discography! Does anyone read "Under One Sky" magazine? It`s from Brooklyn and is available in Groove Records, NY, and most other shops in the States. Lastly: how do I subscribe someone to idm? His email no is C.B.Lovatt@herts.ac.uk .

The September Future Music (Limey Musician's Mag) is worth a look for a couple of reasons even if you're not a Synth Anorak -- decent Juan Atkins interview and a demo that bears repeated listening: Animus "Solo" by Mark Barton. Fun percussion, analogue swells, an endearingly annoying one-note ostanato, and wonderfully morose melody played at the sweet-spot setting of a SH-101. If his other stuff is anywhere this good, he should be signed soon. Oh, and there's a track off the new Mouse On Mars as well. And rest assured their musical tastes are not in sync with most of the IDM list people -- they panned "Reflections on Reflections" by As One. -- "... and your little dog, too!" kent.williams@cadsi.com [Kent Williams/CADSI/2651 Crosspark Rd/Coralville IA 52241/(319)626-6700]
