Advantages: Great read AND great CD

Disadvantages: Not always easy to find

The existing reviews on Uncut have covered most of the ground already, but I had to add my twopennorth. Uncut is expensive by music mag standards (currently £3.50 I think), but the CD's really are of such a high standard that they're far more worthwhile than most full price compilations.

With early issues of the magazine I thought initially that it was going to be neither fish nor fowl, aiming to cover music AND film AND books - but it has matured brilliantly. As one of the other reviewers says elsewhere, it can't give you every up to the minute titbit of info, but it covers most areas very well and is particularly good at providing two or three seriously indepth articles a month.

Both the mag and the CD are particularly strong on alt.country, but not to the exclusion of any other style. Best of all, Uncut is a grown-up read without slipping into the po-faced style of Mojo.

I have Uncut to thank for discovering a whole clutch of new artists over the last couple of years, and I heartily recommend it if your tastes extend beyond the top 40, current dance trends and the latest bunch of teenage american shouters.
