Tbanks a lot for the info, SteveThumbs Up! We both liked the first issue, and this one features an interview with our Captain, M@x - so it's really a no-brainer for us.

Raff - they have, apparently, increased the amount of copies held direct from the website, which is Future Publications. Try this link: http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/

I find it quite expensive at about £7, but given that it is the only publication that is providing a pure prog read on a regular basis, deserves our support.

First Impressions !!

I have had the magazine in my hands for the last ten minutes and here is my first impressions:

Behind this commercial cover, you find a very informative interview with our M@X at page 16. You will also find stuff about Dave Stewart, VDGG, Bill Bruford, DT and more of "our" bands. There are some reviews here too. But then again; so have PA..... I can see myself reading this magazine from front to back. Which means hours of interesting reading and then a good reference source for the coming years.

I am not going to knock it. My first impression is very good. But I guess that's open for debate. Both my personal preferences and this magazine.  

4 stars from me based on the first impression.



Sounds good - a full interview with the great Guru (praise him from whom all blessings come) Max, eh?

I just picked up a copy of the first issue for $ 5 in the bargain bin at Chapters in Montréal without the CD or packaging ( someone must have torn it open and ripped off the CD Ermm ). The guy who owns the magazine store across the street had this problem. People were ripping the outside packaging open to have a glance at it and then the CDs got lost, the mag got tattered from people browsing through it and he ended up having to send them back to the distributor as damaged.
My impression from the first one is, as I said earlier, too much rehash on older bands and too much about newer bands which aren`t really prog bands.
They have to get rid of the CD and the packaging if this thing is going to succeed. Don`t go for my juggler. Just my take.

Well, I suppose that's just the start of the waiting game for us in the USA... The first issue got here about one and a half months after its British release, so we can expect the second to be here around the end of June or so.

Trolling, right? Nobodies? You know as well as I that the musicians featured on the cover have sold more records than Fripp, Bruford and Hammill. You may not like them, but they ain't nobodies.


These 'nobodies' are out there flying the flag for new progressive rock; there are many out there who have gone back to the greats after hearing them.

This is the first magazine in the UK specifically centering on prog rock and this will be only its 2nd issue - a bit early to be putting it down in my opinion...

Nice one Max - maybe get a few more members on the back of this, too.

I will rush out and buy the 2nd edition later today. I will report back tonight (if not someone else has beaten me to it).
