I'm not a big fan of Urb, but subscriptions are cheap and sometimes I find
out about U.S. releases that I might otherwise overlook. Plus, you get a
free CD with each issue. So I subscribe. I agree with you, though, that
the articles are mostly superficial. If the magazine folded, I certainly
wouldn't miss it.
As far as U.S. magazines go, I think XLR8R is a far better magazine, and is
now approaching something like a regular publication schedule. Now if they
just had free CD's... ;-)
