I dunno but I'd like any US subscription info (it they're even doing that) -- I was frustrated to find that the email address for their "letters to editor" section or whatever seemed like a dud, kept getting all my attempts to contact them bounced stright back at me. Are these guys wired or what? And now for the bold statement: if your going to cover the "music of the future" then you better have a firm grip on how to communicate in it. peace, Matt MacQueen <macqueen@student.msu.edu> on now: Sueno Latino, 1989.

I have both the first 2 issues, as they were good value at only 95p, though some of the articles were pretty trashy (one about DJ "groupies" in ish 1 springs to mind. A bit of humour here and there, especially a spoof scoop photo of Maurizio, but dreadful puns used on all photographs, and don't expect its coverage to be centred anywhere other than clubbing, though with possibly a wider spread than DJ/Mixmag. Next issue has a R&S tape to soften the blow of the price going up to 2 quid or so. Personally I think Jockey Slut is doing a better job of covering the more "underground" techno and idm side of things, and I've only read 3 issues of that. They are probably the best overall at the moment for me. Even Generator has got a bit mainstream of late. I also picked up a copy of M8, the first time its been widely available outside boonie Scotland. I probably won't bother again as its 90% happy hardcore/raving/etc, but it contains the first article I've seen in a UK mag about Sahko, which was a nice surprise.

it's very comprehensive, which is it's downside for me. too much handbag/cheesy house music... i like it... mike
