Now rates the records they review out of five, using "N" instead of the
usual stars. So one N is pretty much the worst rating you can get.
For what it's worth - Toronto's *other* weekly arts/ent paper, Eye, give
the Pole discs a great review. As did the Toronto Star, Canada's largest
newspaper. (They have Ben Rayner, the most techno-savvy mainstram music
writer in the country, writing for them - he also gave Theorem's "Ion" a
glowing review this week, and had Plastikman, Boards of Canada and Massive
Attack in his top ten for '98.)
