Culture Shock: Issue #3
At last someone was listening when I was complaining about the lousy state of
American electro magazines. With this issue Culture Shock has stomped upon the
big two (Permission & Industrial Nation). Not only is the layout, and design
amazing but the editors have done an amazing job with their choice of paper and
glossy cover. This particular issue contains interviews with more European
electro artists than I care to type as well as a huge list of labels, label
profiles, and tons of album and demo reviews. And to top it all off, starting
next issue, Culture Shock will begin to publish twice a year with a companion
compilation CD consisting of exclusive tracks by artists featured in it's
partner issue. The only thing that I dislike about this magazine is it's
Euro-centric attitude with very little focus on American bands and absolutely
no attention being paid to the guitar cross-over genre. Culture Shock may be a
global electro magazine but by ignoring domestic and synthcore bands they may
be focusing on too narrow of a listening audience.
