Jan's prolific writing days seem to be over since he has joined the working class. I know the feeling; it’s no coincidence that the last issue of my old fanzine VERBOTENE FRÜCHTE took over two years to be published! Jan's latest issue took almost a year, as a teacher (German and History!) apparently still leaves a lot of time available ;-)
Otherwise, nothing has changed; I could easily insert the last reviews here again. Almost everything in the 80 pages revolves around politics, dry, dreary politics. I don’t mind wandering "In the Footsteps of the Holocaust..." as Jan reports he does on over 13 of the 80 pages. I even think it’s good, but if it repeats in 4 other reports (“Blood Must Flow” => Undercover Among Nazis, “Partizan Minsk on Tour” => Football in Belarus, “Occupation at a Crime Scene” => Nesting in a former Nazi business in Erfurt, “Message In A Bottle” => Anarchy in Leipzig between Theory and Practice) in a similar manner, I will sooner or later fall into dyslexia. The reports are written down dryly, sometimes adorned with one or another little picture, although due to the dark copying, you can’t always recognize much. Not to forget the “Saxony Scene Report,” which doesn’t interest me at all, but could at least be interesting for the people of Saxony and the neighboring districts and communities.
In the record reviews, there is only one direction => Hardcore – Punk, everything else gets the thumbs down. I am even more surprised that in the interviews with Hisztory (Ex Fidl Kunterbunt) and Boykott, a country-folk singer and a rapper get a chance to speak. I don’t know either of them; is that a gap in my education? Furthermore, Heini from the Overbredsociety fanzine and the crust-punk combo SCATTERED HOPES also have their say. There is a concert report about COUNTER ATTACK and Jan's band DOUBT EVERYTHING. Of course, there is also something to read about Jan's second (or first) band KOMMANDO KRONSTADT.
However, the most interesting report is undoubtedly the dissection of the song “Let the Boots Do the Talking” by OI POLLOI; now I can also make sense of (Sir Oswald) Mosley and Cable Street! Well researched!
Lastly, reader letters are answered and fanzines are critiqued.
