Grooves (experimental electronic music magazine)
Computer Music (the complete guide to making music on your pc & mac)
Anyone else read those? I think they are great.

lol I was just asking if someone else here read these magazines.
They are really great. Grooves has a shitload of IDM reviews every month plus some gear reviews.
And every bedroom music maker here MUST read CM ?

I have never bought a magazine that had to do with Music. Anyone know any good ones to check out?
I usually buy video game, skate and snowboard mags....

i used to read Computer Music, its good for awhile until you have read about ten, then you realise they recycle the same articles again and again. I agree though both CM and Groove are great mags.

xlr: yeah I've heard of that magazine somewhere before and checked the link.. looks like a really good publication
do you think borders or barnes would put that shit in their stores if you asked? or is it just individual subscription
i've also been hearing lots of good things about grooves
NICE TOPIC :D

yeah, The Wire is a good read if you like to explore the outer limits of music...it's like the Anti-SmashHits or something...Very serious & wordy...but cool...

I've only heard of 5% of the people in the wire, I'm too unculture to read it
and CM is overpriced but sometimes useful

GROOVES is awesome!!! 150+ IDM reviews and gear reviews and tons of interviews!!!!
Reading that mag is a great way to discover new IDM music.
I haven't read WIRE , have to check that out.

Don't expect to find The Wire that easy a read...all too often they seem to devote most of the mag to a study of Chinese Thrash or something likewise obscure....
But once in a while you do get a killa issue that's worth all the previous pretentions....

yeah, it covers everything not just IDM or electronic stuff altho they do get covered quite a lot & there are dedicated review sections...but basically if you wanna learn about stuff you won't find anywhere else then The Wire is the one...it makes Q & MOJO & those sorts of mags look like comics really...
it's subtitled "Adventures in Modern Music"...which kinda sums it up quite well...
Do a search for The Wire on Google...I believe there's a online archive of interviews, pieces etc...you can get some idea of it's style there...

Sounds like an interesting mag , i will check it out.
Sometimes when the music journalism is really good i read about stuff i don't even like because it is so well written.
Sometimes it makes me like artist i didn't like before because i understand them better.

I'm enjoying reading some of these pieces myself esp from 94-95; that was a great Wire period...pity theres not more of them online...
Also check out Simon Reynolds site...He used to write a lot for The Wire and has a lot of his articles online...the Jungle.DnB ones are outstanding.....
Check the archive at http://members.aol.com/blissout/archive.htm ....
Check the rest of his site as well...damn good writer...
