Advantages: Very informative and honesty
Disadvantages: Lengthy music reviews
Ministry magazine easily stands out as the best magazine in it's genre. If you enjoy clubing the listings section is the best I have seen (yes, better than Muzik) and is scattered with pictures of people on nights out. (This usually manages to spring up a few of your friends every once in a while, and just for entertainment value it is usually at the end of the night when they look a little worse for wear!) The interviews are always in depth and honest, and they deal openly with issues such as drugs, rather than sweeping them under the carpet as a lot of magazines do. The attitude of accepting that drugs and clubs go hand in hand is refreshing and while being open about this fact, they also accept that not all clubbers are 'off their heads' as a lot of the music press would have you believe. It is refreshing to see such an honest, open and - more importantly - realistic point of view. All this plus every month a free CD which usually is a full length mix but also doubles up as a CD ROM to give exclusive intervies, video and track previews. Some of the best tunes I have ever heard have come from these Cds, introducing me to bands like Mutiny UK and Presence for example. Go out and buy it... it's more than worth the cover price. *update* This months CD is the latest in the Superstar DJs collection, and probably one of the best so far, in the inimitable house syle of Danny Rampling. There really isn't anything more I can say about this CD except for it's a must have, with a very latino house feel. It includes the incredidible Pasilda and Ultra Nate's Desire. Go and get it whilst you still can!
