  I have been putting off posting this for a while thinking I might
whip it into better shape but that seems unlikely.  So, here it is.
I have not included any glossies that may happen to occassionally 
cover a band.  I'll likely be posting updates or revisions of this
entire list since I have five or six more still unread.

Zines that may be of interest, all are English language unless       11 Oct 92
otherwise indicated.  It's usually wisest to make checks out to
the editor and not the name of the zine.  I've tried to indicate
if the zine does reviews of self-produced work or only items that
are available through the corporate channels.
(all prices are US dollars unless otherwise indicated)

820 14 Bratislava 214               cover price: free (send IRC's)
CZECHO-SLOVAKIA
>>  A Czech 'zine that gets rewritten in German and English so that people like
  me can understand what's going on.  Focuses on the hard EBM bands (FLA, 242,
  etc.).  Pieces on the aforementioned as well as show reviews and reviews of
  some releases.

Denver, CO 80203                    cover price: $2.00
>>  Clean and sparse leaning more towards the obscure side of things.  This
  issue had interviews with Illusion of Safety and someone from the We Never
  Sleep label.  The items reviewed made me think this issue was a year older
  than the cover date but I can understand getting behind.  Reviewed items
  ranged from home produced tapes on up, but note that they require a review
  submission sheet so you should write to get a copy before sending anything.

Cybernoise                          editor: Graham Needham

Penarth, S. Glam. CF6 2NY           price: 2 pounds (UK)

>> Issue 0 was a test as far as I can tell and looked promising but a little
  vacant style-wise.  They had a piece on Skinny Puppy that included a very
  complete discography; collectors will swoon over this.

Dysmetria                           editor: Dathan Kazslik
605 Bellevue Rd, #253               last issue rec'd: 2, Sep 92
Atwater, CA 95301                   price: $3.50
>>  While the over-all look and slant of this full-sized zine is gothic, the
  interviews with Pressurehed, The Final Cut, and Batz Without Flesh show that
  maybe there is hope for the legions of the dead.  Of course, there are inter-
  views with Shadow Project, Sex Gang Children, and Alien Sex Fiend and a piece
  on Aleister Crowley for your candlelight reading.

c/o Northbrook House,               price: $4 (cash)
Free St., Bishops Waltham,
Southhampton SO3 1EE
>>  Very professional looking but not nearly as bland as that sounds.  Lots of
  news on the UK area, along with a worldwide directory.  The reviews are as
  far-ranging as Technology Works with a tendency towards experimental.  Also
  reviews of zines, videos, and books.  Latest issue had interviews with Asmus
  Tietchens, zoviet-france, and Factor X.

London SE11 4BB

>>  The size and style remind me a bit of the old (mid-80's) Interview magazine.
  Images and fiction tending to the harsh, with interviews including Tom Vague,
  Al Jourgensen, and Sol Invictus.  No reviews of anything.

Evansville, IN 47715                cover price: $3.00
>>  Semiannual but worth waiting for.  Interviews are sometimes choppy,
  usually conducted through the mail but there is good coverage of some
  relatively obscure bands.  Usually very extensive discographies accompany
  the interviews.  Tons of reviews of just about everything.

GPC                                 editor: Alex Kane
2976 Klein St. #127B                last issue rec'd: #005, Jun 92
Allentown, PA 18103                 price: $4.00
>>  GPC began as a two-band compilation tape distributed with assorted flyers
  and propaganda.  With release 5, Alex has taken the effort to sort through
  what he had and make a cohesive networking tool.  The 60 page booklet that
  accompanies this release has sections for music, zines, radio and general
  contacts.  There are also interviews with the featured bands (in this case
  Non-Aggresion Pact and Xorcist).

114 1/2 E. College, #16             last issue rec'd: #5, 23 Jul 92
Iowa City, IA 52240                 cover price: $2.50
>>  A thick half-sized zine that has a lot inside.  Interviews with Skinny
  Puppy, Nitzer Ebb, Frontline Assembly, and Chem-Lab.  Many columns all
  concerned about how the "scene" is or isn't.  Some music reviews (no self-
  produced items reviewed) and zine reviews.  Lots of fretting about what is
  or isn't "industrial" and how good/bad the scene is.

Industrial Strength                 editor: Jordan Nogood
PO Box 541                          last issue rec'd: #2, 06 Sep 92
Dekalb, IL 60115                    cover price: $2.50
>>  Probably the most design-intensive zine in this list.  Lots of bells and
  whistles surround interviews with Consolidated, Meat Beat, KMFDM, and Steven
  Gilmore.  A couple dozen reviews of mostly WaxTrax/Nettwerk stuff although
  two were of smaller releases so maybe they review tapes and just don't get
  many submissions.

Machine Power                       editor: Heiki Sillaste
5 Admiral Rd                        last issue rec'd: 2, 17 Mar 92
Toronto, Ontario M5R 2L4            price: ?
Canada
>>  Half-sized 'zine that places equal value on style as on content (lots of
  words inside ovals, etc.)  Interviews this issue with Phil Knight from
  Legendary Pink Dots, and members of 808 State.  Filled out with some reviews,
  some radio show listings for the Toronto area, and an enigmatic comic.

Music From The Empty Quarter        editor: Deadhead
PO Box 87, Ilford                   last issue rec'd: 4, 19 Apr 92
Essex, IG1 3HJ, UK                  price: $3.75
>>  Very precise 'zine with writers from all over the globe.  More focused
  on the noise/independent side of the spectrum.  Tons of thoughtful reviews
  and an ordering section if you can't find them anywhere else.  Tower records
  usually carries these in the magazine rack.

Nexus Six                           editor: Brian McNelis
18653 Ventura Blvd. #311            last issue rec'd: 1, Aug 92
Tarzana, CA 91356                   price: Free
>> Single 8.5x11 sheet with 11 reviews of some hardtech releases.  And I thought
  my first issue (Technology Works) was humble....

Science Fiction Eye                 editor: Stephen Brown
PO Box 18539                        last issue rec'd: 10, Jul 92
Asheville, NC 28814                 price: $3.50
>>  If you have any interest in current Science Fiction, this magazine is an
  absolute must.  Interviews with the big and not-so-big, articles by the same
  on a variety of topics, many reviews, and usually some healthy warring going
  on in the letters section.

Sniper                              editor: Ivana Ford
PO Box 563                          last issue rec'd: #2, Aug 92
San Dimas, CA 91773                 price: $?
>>  Rising from the ashes of LA's rave zine, Sensured, Sniper is a digital take
  on the culture, sounds, and people who make up the scene.  Some 12" reviews,
  some dj top tens, interviews with djs and local clothes designers.

Spontaneous Combustion              editor: Mike
3943 Cumnor Rd                      last issue rec'd: 12, May 92
Downers Grove, IL 60515             price: $1.50
>> All over the place but seems to devote more attention to WaxTrax kind of
  stuff.  Interviews with Psyche, Cat Rapes Dog, reviews of anything and
  everything, and some other weirdness.

Spun                                editor: Doug Chapel
147 Milk St. #8                     last issue rec'd: 78, 11 Jun 92
Westboro, MA 01581                  price: $1.00
>>  Spun is fannish in that the articles tend to be personal feelings about
  the groups more often than interviews with them.  They have a few pages
  devoted to music and zine reviews and usually include a couple of indie/
  home-taped items in the reviews.  Comes out VERY consistently.  This
  issue had features on Alien Sex Fiend, Skinny Puppy, Beastie Boys.

Suffer                              editor: Gianfranco Santoro
Via Adage, 8                        last issue rec'd: 1, 27 Mar 92
33010 Colugna                       price: ?
Tavagnacco (Udine)
Italy
>>  Small, but densely packed with reviews.  Almost all text, all in Italian,
  but the reviews appear to cover everything from majors to independent
  cassette releases.

Technology Works                    editor: Paul Moore
PO Box 477                          last issue rec'd: #11, Sep 92
Placentia, CA 92670-0477            price: $1.50
>> People rave about it but I always see room for improvement.  Densely packed
  and to the point.  Lots of reviews, including pages of independent cassettes.
  Usually three major bands and one smaller band interviewed per issue.
  Issue 11 featured Numb, The Young Gods and Moby.

Nesconset, NY 11767                 price: $1.00
>> Sixteen pages on newsprint, covering all sorts of alternative music.  This
  issue had chatty interviews with Frontline Assembly and Machines of Loving
  Grace.  Music reviews included all styles and many on cassette.

Royal Oak, MI 48068-1077            price: $2.50
>>  I've seen this zine go through many style changes, but the last issue
  was comic-mag sized and distributed mostly through comic stores although
  it does touch a lot on music.  Features on The Orb and The KLF and some
  reviews (major label releases only).  Very professional and worthwhile.

Zone                                editor: Thomas Seiss
Hahnengasse 5                       last issue rec'd: 15, Jun 92
D-5110 Alsdorf, Germany             price: 2.50 DM
>> Primarily written in German; very good layout with strong focus on the
  German scene but also covering the larger bands.  Reviews are mostly of
  label stuff but they do cover some independent tapes from all over.
