ULTIMA THULE / AUDION PUBLICATIONS - MAGAZINE

A unique voice, exploring adventurous music that others ignore! Audion Magazine (established in 1986) has a reputation for its different
stance on modern music, ever willing to embrace the unusual, and seek-out those that have helped shape the face of new-music, from
rock/folk/jazz through to the avant-garde. Audion doesn't adhere to trends or fashion, it exists purely for the love of the music.
So, if you're into anything musically progressive or unusual, you are sure to find Audion essential reading! And, of course, if you're into
Krautrock, genuine progressive, and the music the mainstream and general alternative press ignore - this is the place!

Historic reviews...
Nice words from an old friend and customer who recently resurfaced "I don’t know if I ever expressed this before, but a great deal of my musical education happened when I was younger and stumbled onto the Audion issue with the Italian progressive rock explosion article in a Tower Books in Sacramento California. All maybe close to the dawn of internet when it was much harder to find out about new things, so it lit a fire for me in a big way at the time. I still have the issue, all marked up with notes and highlighters as well as lots of the other old Audios. So thanks for opening up such a larger musical world to me!" - posted on the Ultima Thule Facebook group in 2016
