I used to buy M8 about 8 or 9 years ago (I think). I remember being amazed that a mag I found in the local John Menzies (WH Smith) had coverage of Rezerection and Prodigy.

It was good for a while. Probably a few years. I thought Claire Wyburn was quite a good editor. Then daft stuff started appearing... Fashion Ambulance and shit. Then lifestyle issues etc. Piece of pish. Eternity was good round about that time though so I got it, and then the editor seemed to lose his marbles. It just got a bit too weird.

Wax seemed to pick up the mantle of underground music and I got it for a while.

Now all the music mags seem to be a pile of pish. Pity. I like a good read.

My pet hate about all of them though, was that the records reviewed were fucking impossible to get hold of. I remember being delighted when I got hold of a "Nitric" number which had been reviewed by Mark in one mag. Still got it somewhere.
