This month's Electronic Sound cover star is Andrew Weatherall, who is pictured in the early days of his illustrious career.

It's hard to believe that it’s almost four years since Weatherall died, robbing the electronic music world of one of its brightest, sharpest and most unique talents. Next week sees the release of his final recordings in the form of Woodleigh Research Facility's 'Phonox Nights' album and we have spoken to his WRF partner Nina Walsh for our cover story, which is a celebration of Weatherall as an artist, a producer and a remixer. We are also reprinting his first interview with the music press, which he gave to Melody Maker just before the release of Primal Scream's 'Screamadelica' in 1991, a record he masterminded in the wake of his remixes of tracks like 'Loaded' and 'Higher Than The Sun'.    

There's a whole stack of other great reading elsewhere in the magazine, including features on Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Martin Rev, Emma Anderson, Gavin Bryars, Teeth Of The Sea, Hyperdawn and Vic Mars. Phew! We also have a piece on a new outfit bringing together drummers Lol Tolhurst and Budgie, best known for their work with The Cure and Siouxsie And The Banshees respectively, with hotshot producer and Telefís man Jacknife Lee. And you can't go wrong with supergroups, can you? Not this time anyway.
