Editor’s Letter
Uncut has a brilliant new look and content! Everywhere you turn in our May issue,
there’s something new to read or look at. Because you love music reviews, there’s
more of them in a fantastic new A-Z Welcome to your new look Uncut. After nigh on
10 years, it seems like an appropriate moment to fling open the windows, let in
some fresh new air, the wind, as it were, of change.
Everywhere you turn in this issue, there should be something new to read or look
at. I know from talking to Uncut readers how important music reviews are. So we
now have more of them than ever – arranged alphabetically around 10 highlighted
albums, including the definitive response to Flaming Lips At War With The Mystics
and new records from the Charlatans, Calixico and Tom Verlaine and classic reissues
from Lambchop, Faust and Japan, tracks from which appear on our free CD, alongside
cuts from other artists featured in this issue, including Bob Marley, Graham Coxon,
Ronnie Spector, Fairport Convention, Denim and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
There’s plenty more I could tell you about what’s new in your new Uncut, but my
signature’s looming and I’m running out of space. Just time, therefore, to ask
you to write or email me with your comments, thoughts and reactions to the
changes we’ve introduced to make Uncut more entertaining, informative and useful,
your complete music guide.
I look forward to hearing from you.
